COURSE
With Samantha Touchais
Sleep Better Naturally: New Science for Deep Rest guides you through the latest research on circadian health, nervous-system regulation, and sleep quality, offering practical tools, calming techniques, and daily guidance to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up genuinely restored. Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to rebalance your sleep cycles, reduce nighttime stress, build healthier pre-bed habits, and create a sustainable, science-supported sleep routine you can rely on for the long term. Course objectives 1. Learn how daytime habits directly shape nighttime sleep quality. 2. Understand the science of gut health, inflammation, hormones, and blood sugar—and how each influences rest and recovery. 3. Receive practical, accessible tools such as breathwork, nervous-system techniques, and soothing pre-sleep rituals. 4. Be supported in creating a sustainable, holistic sleep routine rooted in biology rather than force or willpower. 5. Be guided in integrating daily practices into a simple, long-term sleep plan that naturally improves rest. What students can expect * DAY ONE — Why Daytime Matters Discover how light exposure, movement, and daily rhythms set the foundation for easier, deeper nighttime sleep. * DAY TWO — Gut Health & the Sleep Connection Learn how the gut–brain axis, microbiome, and digestion influence melatonin, mood, and sleep cycles. * DAY THREE — Breathing for Better Sleep Practice specific breathing techniques that calm the mind, lower stress, and prepare the body for rest. * DAY FOUR — Anti-Inflammatory Foods, Hormones & Sleep Explore how inflammation and hormonal balance impact sleep, along with simple nutrition shifts that support restoration. * DAY FIVE — Blood Sugar Balance & Sleep Learn how unstable blood sugar disrupts sleep—and how to stabilize it with practical daytime and evening strategies. * DAY SIX — Nervous System Reset Experience grounding tools to downshift the nervous system from alertness to deep rest. * DAY SEVEN — Letting Go of the Day Practice gentle techniques for releasing mental tension and emotional residue before bedtime. * DAY EIGHT — Bringing It All Together Synthesize the entire course into a personalized, realistic, and sustainable sleep plan based on new science and daily habits.
