💭 Sleep Myth Busting | Alcohol before bed helps you sleep. 🍷😴
It's one of the most common beliefs about sleep - but is it actually true?
While alcohol can help you fall asleep more quickly, it doesn't improve the quality of your sleep. As your body metabolises alcohol throughout the night, it can:
• Disrupt REM sleep (the stage linked to memory, learning and emotional processing)
• Increase night-time awakenings
• Raise your heart rate, making sleep less restorative
So, while you may fall asleep faster, you're unlikely to wake up feeling truly refreshed.
Our sleep expert explains the science behind this common misconception and what it really means for your sleep.

You're putting in the miles… but are you putting the same energy into recovery?
Recovery is just as important as the run itself. If you’re not seeing the progress you expected, it might be time to look at what happens after your workout, not just during it.
red light body wrap supports your post-run recovery routine. Using red and near-infrared light, it supports cellular energy production (ATP) and the body’s natural repair response after exercise.
So basically… it’s giving your body the support it needs to recharge, reset and prepare for what’s next.
Alongside stretching, hydration, movement and rest, recovery is where the progress continues. 🤍
