Episode Summary:


In this thought-provoking episode of Sport Is Life, Ian Hawkins reveals one of the most surprising and under-discussed causes of poor sleep: a lack of purpose. Drawing on real coaching experiences and personal insights, Ian explains how unresolved internal conflict and a deep yearning for fulfilment can keep you mentally and physically restless—even if you follow all the standard sleep hygiene tips. He unpacks how purpose isn’t some grand mission but something already embedded in your day-to-day life, especially in how you instinctively help others through struggles you’ve faced yourself.


Tune in to learn how identifying and embracing this “thread” can not only bring meaning to your days—but finally bring peace to your nights.
