Catching Z's

Welcome back to the Venn Dialogues, this week we talk about sleep. We explore the stages of sleep, the ways one can get sleep and what type of chronotype someone may be. We talk about how much sleep is enough and when you may want to be concerned you are not getting enough. We even take a stroll through history to understand how we have come to sleep the way we do. Come to learn and laugh along the way.

Challenge: Evaluate your sleep habits. If you have any sleep concerns, go to your GCP or your dentist to see if maybe a sleep study should be considered.
