Welcome to Part 2 of our special sleep series, Habit Thrivers! Last week, we explored why sleep matters so deeply — especially during our Me Now years — and how stress, hormones, and even our habits can get in the way. Today, on Episode #173 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we shift into exploring how we can support it — practically, mindfully, and consistently. Before diving into practical tools, we bust three common sleep myths: Myth #1 : We need less sleep as we age — not true! Your body still craves deep rest; it just gets harder to reach. Myth #2 : You can "catch up" on sleep over the weekend — tempting, but false. Sleep debt isn’t like a bank account. Myth #3 : Waking up at night means you’ve failed — in reality, it’s part of your natural sleep cycle. Then, I share 3 powerful ways to support better sleep, starting right now! Begin Your Day with Gratitude: Good sleep starts in the morning . Honor Consistent Sleep & Wake Times: This strengthens your circadian rhythm, supports hormone balance, and helps everything from digestion to mood. Release the Day Before Bed: Whether it’s a thought, worry, or event, give it permission to rest so you can, too. As we move through Thanksgiving week here in Canada, let’s carry forward the energy of gratitude — not just for better sleep, but for the people, places, and moments that hold us. Sweet dreams, and see you next week. Lorrie xoxox On this episode: FREE Sleep Checklist (Use code SleepBliss ): Find it here Loving the show? Let’s connect!
