In Bed With... Julia Bradbury

Q: 

One thing that has transformed your sleep?

A:

Breathwork, putting my legs up against the wall to lower my heart rate and calm my nervous system, and wearing blue light-blocking glasses.

Q: 

What time do you really go to bed?

A:

I go upstairs to bed with the chicks, my children aged 11–15, between 8.30–9pm. Realistically, though, my head doesn’t touch the pillow until between 10.30–11pm.

Q: 

Do you scroll?

A:

I don’t scroll at night after 9pm. If I have a project to promote, that slips…

Q: 

What keeps you up at night?

A:

Worrying about my children is what keeps me up at night.

Q: 

What's one thing you'll never compromise on for a good night's sleep?

A:

Not eating late and only drinking my one cup of coffee before 1pm in the day.
