It’s happening. My book is officially out TODAY! 🎉 I wanted Think Less, Sleep More to launch on New Year’s Day, because honestly… what better time for a sleep reset than the one where we’re all usually promising ourselves the impossible. This book is for anyone who’s exhausted from thinking about sleep and the pressure that surrounds it. After 20 years of working in sleep clinics, research labs and with thousands of people who felt stuck, I wanted to write something different. I didn’t want it to be another rule book or routine, but a way out of the noise. Think Less, Sleep More is about starting the year by letting go of perfection and fear, and letting your sleep do what it’s actually designed to do.
 If better sleep is on your New Year list, this is a very good place to start. The sleep revolution starts now! Got your book yet? Let me know what you think! 💛 #ThinkLessSleepMore #NewYear #SleepHabits #Wellbeing #BetterSleep

Would you do this to fall asleep? Sleep expert Dr Matthew Walker goes through why checking the time when you wake up in the middle of the night is not such a good idea. What’s your trick to falling asleep? Credit: @thediaryofaceopodcast x @drmattwalker

‼️ Most of us think we can “catch up” on sleep over the weekend… but the truth is, your body can’t recover that quickly. When you lose sleep, your focus, mood, and memory start to slip, even if you’re powering through your day. I know it’s August, and maybe you’re on holiday, enjoying long evenings and time with loved ones. Summer is about making memories, but don’t forget that real rest, especially deep sleep, is what keeps you present enough to enjoy those moments fully. Deep, restorative sleep is the time your brain and body repair, rebalance hormones, and protect long-term health. But stress, a busy mind, and constant “on” mode make it hard to switch off. Sophrology can help you have better sleep and enjoy those special moments more fully, by giving your nervous system the reset it needs. No pills, no hacks, just short guided practices you can fit into your routine, even if you’re on holiday. 😁 Comment SOPHROLOGY and I’ll send you one you can try tonight. Your brain will thank you in the morning. #sleepdeprived #sleepdeprivation #sleepdisorders #sleepexpert #sleepissues #sleepregression #nosleeping #sleepscience

If helping your baby link sleep cycles and fall asleep independently is important to you, the “sleepy but not asleep” approach can be really helpful. This means putting your baby down calm, settled and drowsy — but still awake — so they learn how to drift off on their own. Some babies pick this up quickly. Others need a bit more practice, reassurance and settling — and that’s completely normal. There’s no rush and no pressure. But when it works, you’re setting your baby up with a skill that supports longer, more settled sleep over time. Gentle, consistent support now can make a big difference for long-term sleep success — for your baby and for you. 💬 Comment “SLEEP” on this post and I’ll DM you the link to my free sleep tips. #drgolly #babysleep #sleepybutawake #evidencebasedparenting #newparents #infantsleep #paediatrician

As a Black sleep doctor, here's what I wish I could tell every patient — but most people aren't ready to hear it. It's Black History Month, so let's talk about what rest really costs us. 1. Being praised for being "strong" trained your nervous system to stay in survival mode. That hypervigilance keeps cortisol elevated at night, so your brain never fully powers down — even when you're exhausted. 2. You don't "just function on less sleep." Chronic sleep deprivation raises blood pressure, insulin resistance, and stroke risk — and Black adults already carry higher baseline risk. Sleep debt compounds inequity. 3. If you fall asleep fast but wake up anxious at 3–4 AM, that's not random. That's a stress-conditioned nervous system hitting its cortisol peak, not insomnia "out of nowhere." 4. Growing up in chaos teaches your body that quiet isn't safe. So when the world finally slows down at night, your brain scans for threats instead of rest. 5. If Sunday night sleep is the worst, it's not laziness — it's anticipatory stress. Your nervous system is bracing for the week before it even begins. 6. Being high-achieving doesn't protect you from sleep damage. It often hides it — until mood, memory, libido, or blood pressure start slipping. 7. If melatonin "stopped working," your issue isn't hormones. It's that your nervous system never learned how to feel safe enough to rest. 8. Generational pressure to "work twice as hard" trained your circadian rhythm to ignore fatigue. Now your body doesn't recognize tired cues until it's already in burnout. This isn't about blame. It's about finally giving your nervous system what history never did: permission to rest. And that starts tonight.

Being awake between 10PM and 4AM disrupts your circadian rhythm, the internal clock that regulates hormone balance, cellular repair, and immune function. Research shows that chronic night-time wakefulness increases levels of cortisol, decreases melatonin, and over time can raise the risk of metabolic disorders, inflammation, and even certain cancers. Your body is programmed for restoration during these hours, don’t rob it of that time. Prioritize sleep as you would nutrition and exercise. 🌙 #SleepScience #CircadianHealth #SleepExpert #HealthyLifestyle #SleepBetter

Struggling to “make time” for sleep? Start here. 😴 Sleep expert @mollie.eastman shares the three anchor habits that instantly support better sleep and they’re simpler than you think: 1️⃣ Brighter days, darker nights. Light is your strongest circadian time-giver. Seek sunlight during the day and dim your evenings. 2️⃣ Stay consistent. Waking up at the same time daily (±30 minutes) sets the rhythm your body craves. 3️⃣ Time your meals. What and when you eat matters more than most people realize. It signals your internal clock. These habits may be small, but they reshape the way your body prepares for rest. Which of these sleep habits do you want to try this week? Watch our newest episode: Make Time for a Good Night’s Sleep with Mollie Eastman on your favorite platform. #sleephealth #bettersleep #wellnessjourney #podcastreels #circadianrhythm

Did you know babies spend most of their sleep time in “active sleep”? This is similar to REM sleep for adults but with one HUGE difference. During REM sleep, an adult’s skeletal muscles are PARALYZED — babies’ muscles are not! They move, make noise, and even open their eyes! BUT, active sleep is still actually SLEEPING! 💤 ⁣ So, before you intervene, STOP and observe. 🛑 👀 Give it about 30-60 seconds. This will help you determine if your baby is just transitioning between sleep cycles or if your baby is TRULY awake! Have you ever seen this with your little one? Tell me in the comments! #howtogetbabysleepingthroughthenight #babysleeptraining #babysleephacks #babysleepconsultant
