Ep 22: The Sleep Guru | Alison Anandi Francis on Why You Can't Sleep and What Ancient Medicine knows

Most of us treat sleep like an afterthought — something we'll get to when everything else is done. Alison Anandi Francis spent 15 years paying the price for that mistake, battling chronic insomnia while running a successful business and holding it together on the outside while quietly falling apart within.What she found in a yoga ashram in India — specifically through the breath — became the foundation for Sleepology by Anandi®, her root-cause methodology that integrates Ayurveda, breathwork, yoga and modern sleep science into a complete system for lasting rest.In this episode we go deep on why high performers can't switch off, what your nervous system actually needs to power down, and why tactical sleep fixes almost always fail. Anandi breaks down her personal wind-down routine, what HRV tracking reveals about your lifestyle, the truth about sleeping pills, and the single most important shift you can make starting tonight.If you're exhausted, wired, or waking up at 3am — this one's for you.Guest: Alison Anandi Francis | thesleepguru.co.uk Book: Breathe Better Sleep BetterTopics: insomnia, Ayurveda, breathwork, nervous system, sleep science, HRV, circadian rhythm, yoga nidra, Sleepology, holistic health, entrepreneur burnout
