Sleep On It

First there was clean eating, now clean sleeping. Gwyneth Paltrow shares her snoozing secrets exclusively with EW.

Just when you thought that the ‘clean’ phenomenon couldn’t infiltrate any more areas of your life, a new health craze is set to have us rethinking our wellness game during the midnight hours.

Clean sleeping has been touted as the next big health trend for 2017, and it’s even been backed by lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow.

According to Paltrow, if you’ve hit midlife and are finding yourself irritable, anxious or stressed, the issue may not be because of a bad waking lifestyle, it might be because you’re not getting enough good quality sleep at night.

“The lifestyle I lead is based not just on clean eating, but also on clean sleeping: at least seven or eight hours of good, quality sleep – and ideally even 10,” says Paltrow.

“Sleep plays such a powerful role in determining your appetite and energy levels that I believe it should be your first priority — even before you think about your diet.”
