This is SO on point—especially with how sleep affects hormones, nervous system regulation, and even cravings. The science really backs this up: just one night of poor sleep can increase cortisol and ghrelin levels, reduce insulin sensitivity, and mess with leptin (your fullness hormone), making you hungrier and more inflamed the next day. 💥
Also love that you mentioned lighting—melatonin is extremely sensitive to light exposure, especially blue light. Warm-toned lights, sunset simulation, and red light therapy all help signal the brain that it’s time to wind down, which is why they’re showing up more in circadian rhythm research.
The mouth breathing bit? Spot on. Nose breathing regulates CO₂ levels, improves oxygen uptake, and even activates the parasympathetic nervous system—essential for rest and recovery. James Nestor’s Breath does a great job breaking that down!
So good to see conversations about sleep finally going deeper than “just get 8 hours.” Sleep is biology’s most underrated upgrade button. 🧠🌙✨
All the Osea Malibu products are top notch🙌🏼. Curious if you just rub castor oil on your stomach in the evening? I know some gals wrap a cloth around their stomach and wear it overnight. Thanks❣️

Absolutely loved this! Just wondering, how many times during the week you can stay consistent with this routine?
I try and do my best when I can! Certain things are non-negotiables for me!
Great recommendations 🌈
Thank you Iris! Appreciate you!

Osea girls <3!!!! Yes! I do have one of those wraps also that I use, but you can just rub it on your stomach and wear a loose pj shirt :)
Thank you!!
I like your recommendations some of which I already follow but I’m still a bit deficient. Interesting title.
thank you!! do you have a favorite pillow?
I use a slip silk pillow case!
Magnesium is a real game changer when it comes to sleep.
It really is just so good!!!!!
Some day this will be me. Except with a wood fired sauna in my garden 🔥
Can you link the Alo humidifier? 🤍
Which skincare products are you currently using after the double cleansing?☺️
love this so much! is this your routine mon-fri and weekends?
also would you mind sharing what castor oil you use? and do you sleep on certain types of bedsheets for better sleep (percale, linen, cotton)
Check out “Queen of Thrones”. They have everything for using Castor Oil.
