60 Sleep Like Your Life Depends On It: The Healing Power Of A 10pm Bedtime.

2025-06-11

You know that 'ahhhhhh' feeling when you wake up after a seriously good night’s sleep? That magical unicorn of a morning when your eyes pop open before the alarm - or the kids - you stretch like a satisfied cat, and for a moment, you feel unstoppable. Let’s be real. For most of us, that feeling is rare. We hustle through the day, crash late, and then wonder why we wake up groggy, moody, or feeling like we simply can’t function without caffeine. Well… We all know sleep is important. That’s not news.

You know that 'ahhhhhh' feeling when you wake up after a seriously good night’s sleep? That magical unicorn of a morning when your eyes pop open before the alarm - or the kids - you stretch like a satisfied cat, and for a moment, you feel unstoppable.

Let’s be real. For most of us, that feeling is rare. We hustle through the day, crash late, and then wonder why we wake up groggy, moody, or feeling like we simply can’t function without caffeine.

Well… We all know sleep is important. That’s not news. But what a lot of people don’t realise, is that it’s not just how long you sleep that matters.
It’s when you sleep.

Because the truth is, your body isn’t just ‘resting’ during the night. It’s healing. Repairing. Detoxing. Resetting your emotional baseline. And if you’re not asleep by a certain time… your body simply can’t do what it’s built to do.

In today’s episode on I Love Me The Podcast, we’re diving into the juicy truth about sleep timing, your liver's overnight magic trick, and why those late-night scroll sessions are messing with more than just your dreams.

If you want to feel vibrant, emotionally steady, and deeply nourished from the inside out, this episode is going to give you the permission - and the how - to make sleep your sacred superpower.

About me…

My name is Tamra Mercieca and I’ve been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.

While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I’m known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women’s Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I’m the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.

Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.
