And there are rewards for our early readers so read below.
But one TINY favour before we jump in...
Please reply to this email with "Hey Jim" to make sure you actually get the emails.
It only takes 8 seconds. Writing each newsletter takes 8 hours.

Sleep Tip Of The Week
A wise man once said that improving your sleep is like refining a recipe; small adjustments can lead to perfection.
Who was the man? Can't remember. It doesn't matter.
What matters is I'm going to share a personal sleep tip that has led me to sleep perfection.
A fews weeks ago, I was in a funk.
I was tossing and turning. My mind was racing when my head hit the pillow.
Every night took me hours to fall asleep, a disaster in the summertime.
I needed to do something different and I got a tip from a trusted friend. Have a warm shower RIGHT before you go to bed.
The results have been UNBELIEVABLE.
Even in the heat, I feel cool once I rest in bed.
I'm so relaxed that once my head hits the pillow, I fall asleep almost instantly (which is unheard of, if you know me).
So this made me curious.
What happens to your body in this process?
Here's the short and sweet explanation:
1. When you take a warm shower or bath, the warm water heats up your skin. This expands your blood vessels. Think of it like opening up a highway for cars โ more space means more blood flow.
2. Once you step out of the bath or shower, that expanded highway of blood vessels is now exposed to cooler air and rapidly releases the heat from your body.
3. The cooldown makes your brain think "it's bedtime!" and it releases melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone that makes you feel drowsy and ready for sleep. It's like flicking a bed time switch in your brain.
4. Warm water soothes your muscles, telling your brain you're calm and ready for sleep.

Give this a go if you are struggling to sleep or need a change in your sleep routine.
Track the results and if it works, move those morning showers right before!
I'll be providing tips like this, along with the science and reasoning behind it for each newsletter!

Interesting Sleep Fact
This is a fact that hits home for everyone I tell...
People lose over a pound of weight from burning calories while exhaling asleep.
Yep... you legit lose weight the more you sleep.
Want another health fact?
If you get less than 6-7 hours of sleep a night, you are far more likely to gain weight and increase your BMI.
Who knew that getting early night sleeps can help with your weight loss goals?!

Building in Public - Founder Updates
In each newsletter, Sara or Jim will provide a quick update on what's happening on the business side of things.
We hope you find this interesting and different from what you usually see.
So what's been happening recently?
Well, this happened...
Over 26 boxes of COZO product delivered straight to my front door.
So what's my first reaction to all this?
To count EVERY single product in EVERY single box, of course.
It was an entire day of stocktake to ensure everything we ordered had been delivered.
After that, I stored and categorised every single product.
Now our house feels less like a house and more like a distribution center ๐คฃ
Check out the video here
Let's just say, this is one of those tasks that isn't the fun part of running your own business ๐
But nothing is more exciting than 'getting started' in something new.
To know we have an opportunity through our products help others improve their health, skin, hair and sleep.
I'd say it's a pretty good trade off!
That's all for this week. I hope you enjoyed the first ever Sleep Newsletter.
Sleep easy.
Until next time ๐ค
