James Swanwick:
This man has accomplished so much in his life, I’m not even going to try to list it all! Forbes magazine voted James as one of the top 25 networking experts—he has interviewed many celebrities, hosted The James Swanwick Show podcast, and been a SportsCenter anchor on ESPN. Today, he is dedicated to health— mental, emotional and physical health. He is the creator of the 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge where he assists social drinkers in quitting drinking, and the creator of Swanwick Sleep, a company that develops products to help people sleep better including his most popular blue light blocking glasses. Interested in what blue light is and why it’s causing you disrupted sleep? We dive into these topics and the hard times James had to trudge through to get where he is today.

ELIMINATE BLUE LIGHT EXPOSURE AN HOUR BEFORE BED
Hopefully we all sleep better this week as we try to limit our blue light exposure for an hour before going to bed! You can do this by purchasing a pair of blue light blocking glasses, purchasing light bulbs free of blue light, limiting screen time, or limiting time in your bathroom and kitchen. James also hits us with many tips for better sleep, from black out curtains, to no caffeine after 2 pm. I advise you to pick a couple of his suggestions that feel right to you and give them a go! See if it makes a difference. And stay in touch with me @sheajackie on Instagram. Woo-hoo. Let’s do this, guys!
