About this session
Sleep and digestion are closely connected. The body's internal rhythms help coordinate sleep, appetite, digestion, bowel activity and energy, which means that disrupted sleep can influence how and when people eat, while digestive symptoms can make it harder to rest properly.
Busy schedules, shift work, stress, late meals, caffeine, alcohol and irregular routines can all affect this relationship.
Participants explore how these factors may contribute to reflux, bloating, appetite changes, irregular bowel habits, tiredness and difficulty concentrating, without assuming that every symptom has one simple cause.
The session combines accessible science with practical application.
Participants map their own sleep, eating and symptom patterns, build realistic routines for ordinary and disrupted working days, and learn when persistent digestive or sleep concerns should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
