You Can’t Outrun a Poor Sleep Routine

You don’t need a new strategy – you need a good night’s sleep.

If your mood’s low, patience is short, or thinking feels foggy…
Start with your sleep – not another productivity hack.

I work with leaders chasing better results. And sleep is usually the one thing they’ve sacrificed.

But sleep isn’t wasted time – it’s performance preparation.

Here’s what’s happening when you don’t sleep well:

⚠️ Stress hormones spike
⚠️ Impulse control drops
⚠️ Emotional reactivity increases
⚠️ Focus goes out the window

Sound familiar?

You can’t make good decisions on bad sleep. And you won’t lead well when you’re running on an agitated base.

3 simple ways to upgrade sleep this week:

➡️ Set a non-negotiable bedtime

➡️ No phone scrolling an hour before bed

➡️ Eat earlier – late-night digestion ruins deep sleep

➡️ What how much alcohol you’re drinking in an evening

Protecting your sleep isn’t soft – it’s a power move.

The 6 Pillars of Health

Why Your Business Results Start With Your Health

Many leaders chase performance without paying enough attention to the foundation that fuels it: their health. Here’s another ‘under one minute’ read with an offer at the end for you. Enjoy!

Your business results will only ever be as good as your personal health. If your energy’s low, your sleep’s poor, your body’s under stress – your performance will suffer.

I coach leaders using the 6 pillars of functional health – because this is where sustained results begin:

1️⃣ Nutrition. What you eat fuels your body and brain. Whole foods, plenty of water, limit processed food. Simple wins here build fast.

2️⃣ Movement. Regular exercise sharpens the mind and builds resilience. You don’t need to be an athlete – just move your body daily.

3️⃣ Sleep. The ultimate performance enhancer. Prioritise sleep. Without quality rest, everything else suffers. It may not be as good as you think..

4️⃣ Stress management. Build resilience practices. Breathing, movement, boundaries – small actions prevent stress from becoming burnout. Tackle it at source..

5️⃣ Avoid risky substances. Alcohol is the biggest performance killer I see in leaders. Reducing or removing it can transform your sleep, focus and mood. – fact.

6️⃣ Social connection. Strong relationships support mental and emotional well-being. Invest time in people who lift you up. Let go of the mood hoovers.. They no longer serve you.

Peak performance isn’t just about working harder. It’s about taking care of yourself first – so you can lead and perform at your best.

The Real Cost of Being “Always On”

You’re not performing better – you’re just more available.

Being “always on” might feel like leadership – but it’s really just pressure in disguise.

You’re constantly reachable. Always checking. Mentally tethered to the job – even when you’re home.

And slowly, your focus slips. Your patience shortens. Your edge drifts.

Here’s the truth: Being permanently available doesn’t make you indispensable – it makes you exhausted.

✅ Creativity drops ✅ Decision-making slows ✅ Home life suffers ✅ Resentment builds

Leaders who perform at the top level don’t just work hard – they learn to switch focus.

That means building proper boundaries between work and recovery. Not just physically, but mentally.

If you’re always on, you’re never truly recovering. And without recovery – performance becomes survival.

Keep it simple:

1. Put your phone in another room after 8pm

2. Block a “no meetings” slot in your week

3. Learn to sit still without reaching for something to fix

Better thinking comes from quieter moments. And the leaders who understand that? They win longer.
