#3: How to get the Sleep you need to build mental toughness?

Welcome back to At Your Best with Roselynn Onah! Can you believe we’re already at week three? This time, we’re continuing our deep dive into mental resilience, but with a focus on something we all need (and many of us struggle with): SLEEP.

This month, we’re celebrating National Sleep Week and National Sleep Day, so what better time to talk about how sleep plays a huge role in our ability to bounce back from life’s challenges? And trust me—this is personal. I get enough hours, but I sleep at the wrong times (hello, 2 AM wake-ups!). This year, I’m determined to get quality sleep at the right time.

In This Episode:

1. Why sleep is a non-negotiable for mental resilience

2. The science behind why women need more sleep (and why we rarely get it)

3. How blue light and bedtime scrolling mess with our rest

4. The power of a bedtime routine (and why discipline is key!)

5. Why you need to banish the snooze button for good

6. The 5-Second Rule trick to get out of bed without hesitation

Meet Our Guest:

We’re back in session with Dr. Ro! She’s a multilingual education leader, resilience coach, and host of Life Jack: The Resilience Podcast. Dr. Ro breaks down why sleep is essential for resilience, how to create a realistic nighttime routine, and why waking up at 4 AM might not be as bad as you think!

Your Note to Self:

✅ Sleep in a dark, tech-free bedroom

✅ Set a consistent bedtime routine (wash face, wrap hair, unwind)

✅ Shut down screens at least 30 minutes before bed

✅ If you wake up at 4 AM feeling rested, just get up!

✅ Be intentional about your time—rest is productivity too

Let’s Talk!
