There is not THE one pill that helps to improve sleep. And how dark the bedroom is, what the temperature is, or which pillow we use are only minor details in the end. What is really important, however, is: do all our systems that regulate sleep really work as they should? Let’s look at children – they can sleep in any environment.
Based on this principle, we have created a unique online seminar on how you can really and sustainably find your way back to better sleep. Even when you’re stressed.
In Chapter 1, we explain the extremely important functions that sleep fulfills in terms of body fat reduction, anti-aging, mental health and physical performance.
In chapter 2, we explain the functional systems that influence our sleep. The nervous system, the immune system, the insulin system (blood sugar regulation) and our melanopsin system, which reacts very strongly to light. Here you should set a focus for yourself where you want to start.
Chapter 3 then deals with very specific measures. What can I do to improve my sleep in the long term?

What effects does poor sleep or a lack of sleep have on our health and performance, both in the short and long term?
This chapter explains the basics of how sleep works. For a better understanding, we strongly recommend that you do not skip directly to the chapter on sleep optimization.
In this chapter you will find all the practical tips you need to improve the quality or duration of your sleep.
Common recommendations to improve sleep, such as bedroom temperature or darkness, may not be sufficient because they often do not address the root causes of sleep problems.
The nervous system plays a central role in the regulation of sleep and it is important to bear this in mind when talking about improving sleep.
The circadian rhythm, our internal clock, is controlled by light. This knowledge is relevant for sleep quality, as light can be used to reset the internal clock.
Diet, especially blood sugar levels, can have an impact on the quality of our sleep. A heavy dinner or the consumption of alcohol can impair sleep.
The immune system can affect our sleep and keep us awake at night. It is important to know options for strengthening the immune system to enable better sleep.
