YOUR
LIFESTYLE
This is the bit that will really make the biggest difference for you, even though it probably won't feel like it right away.
Right now your routine is quite go with the flow depending on sea days and dock days, which is great, but your body needs a little consistency. Just a wee nudge.
Things to do right away -
Try to get up and eat within 60-90 mins - even on sea days. It might not seem it, but skipping breakfast will cause blood sugar dips which lead to more inflammation and breakouts.
Get natural light in your eyes within 30 mins of waking, even just stand outside for 5 mins and breathe - this is such an underestimated practice, doing this helps regulate hormones and skin healing.
Phone stays off for first 30 minutes after waking up - when we go straight on our phone this signals the body into stress mode.
Keep doing your lymphatic massage as you enjoy it, but don't stay in bed for ages doing it, up - light - then start your day.
After show days, keep giving yourself wind down time. Try do at least 30 minutes.
Keep listening to your body in regards to movement, on days your body isn't feeling it, stretch, pilates or yoga is enough movement.
WHY SLEEP MATTERS
Sleep isn’t passive.
It’s your body’s most powerful repair window.
And this is exactly why chronic stress + poor sleep = flare-ups.
When sleep is fragmented or shortened:
Cortisol regulation becomes disrupted
Deep sleep shortens (less repair)
REM reduces (less emotional processing)
Blood sugar becomes unstable
Inflammation increases
Sleep hygiene is not complicated.
It is about environment, rhythm, and small daily behaviours.
Before assuming a client has “insomnia,” I always assess their sleep environment and routine. More often than not, the issue isn’t inability to sleep — it’s misaligned habits.
Poor sleep hygiene creates a cascade:
Disrupted cortisol rhythm →
Poor food choices →
Missed morning light →
Blood sugar instability →
Increased inflammation →
Skin flare-ups
Sleep affects everything.

WHY IT MATTERS

A SIMPLE DAILY SLEEP FRAMEWORK
-
What temperature is your bedroom at night?
-
Do you use overhead lights in the evening or softer lamps?
-
Are there standby lights glowing from TVs or devices?
-
Do you scroll or watch TV within an hour of bed?
-
Is your phone beside your bed? Is it on flight mode?
-
Are your windows closed and the room stuffy?
Most people are unintentionally disrupting their sleep.
And when sleep is disrupted, repair is disrupted.
Take note of anything you currently do, and let's look at what to do instead.
