Liz Earle Wellbeing Mar / Apr 2024

A very warm welcome to The Sleep Issue! Sleep helps to balance our mood, hormones, gut health, immune function and can even support weight loss. Yet so many of us struggle to prioritise quality rest. We’ve filled this issue with expert advice for nodding off promptly and nailing the all-important sleep stages that add a spring to our step and life to our years. We’re also taking a look at Liz’s favourite energy-boosters (hello spring sunshine!) as well as how to catch and put a stop to the silent energy sappers that drain our batteries. Relationship therapist James Earl explores the murky waters of emotional affairs, and we’ve asked beauty boffins to share the miraculous makeup hacks that can vanish signs of a bad night’s sleep. And as ever, there are plenty of speedy, balanced recipes that are just as delicious as they are nutritious.
