When it comes to health and wellness, it’s easy to focus on diet, exercise, and even supplements, but sleep often takes a back seat. Since sleep is essential and happens every day, it might make more sense to start with sleep rather than end there. Understanding its role as a powerful leverage point for overall health could shift your priorities. This week, I’m joined by a medical doctor specializing in sleep medicine to dive deep into the science and strategies of better sleep.
Listen and learn:
- Why sleep apnea is on the rise and its effects on health
- The pros and cons of sharing a bed with children or grandchildren
- Myths vs. reality around wine, cannabis, and prescription sleep aids
- How to use the CREATE acronym to prepare for restful sleep
