It’s Penny & Jennie again from The Informed Perspective, and today’s podcast was a deep (and much-needed) dive into why sleep matters more than we think.
We were joined by three incredible women:🍼 Sinead Davin – newborn care specialist🧠 Tracy Hannigan – sleep therapist for adults🌿 Janie Perry – naturopath and nutrition expert
Together, we unpacked:
* Why sleep deprivation can increase the risk of Alzheimer’s
* How new parents (yes, dads too!) are deeply affected by sleep loss
* What “hyperarousal” is and how it keeps us wired at night
* Why blood sugar, caffeine, and magnesium matter for quality sleep
* Tools like breathwork, tapping, and screen-free wind-downs
🌙 Top tips from our guests:
* Sinead: Get daytime feeding right (for baby sleep!)
* Janie: Balance your blood sugar
* Tracy: Don’t check the clock at 3 a.m.
Sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s your foundation.
