Without Sleep, You Can’t Regulate
I got a coveted hour with Dr. Jessica Payne, a neuroscientist, who studies sleep, to ask all the questions you've probably wondered about but never had the chance to explore. We get into what the brain actually does during sleep and dreaming, how exercise, caffeine, alcohol, and sex affect your rest, and why good sleep matters for your relationship.
Dr. Payne tells me, “It’s hard to draw on resources for empathy or connection when people are not rested.” This directly affects the couples we see in therapy. They cannot be their best selves when they are sleep deprived. Dr. Payne will tell you how much sleep is recommended and detail the various types of sleepers. In this episode, you’ll hear a grounded, science-backed conversation on how to care of your brain, improve your sleep, and better understand your body—especially in bed.
If stress, exhaustion, or life transitions have disrupted your desire or connection, you're not alone.
My new self-paced course is here to help.
It offers a private, flexible way to understand what your body—and brain—actually need to feel turned on. Whether you're partnered or solo, this is a chance to explore your erotic self without pressure, on your own terms.
