Speaker 1 (00:00):
Turns on and your morning show habby Tuesday, friend and
welcome to the show. Internshown, it's my name Sauce, Hello, Hello, Rose, Hi, Hi,
Eric's here, Hoodie severa as well. Nine nine three three

stress is affecting you more than you think. Okay, nobody's

(00:21):
stressed here, Na, Absolutely no, absolutely so. According to this
sleep expert, these are the red flags, as you know
about me. For us a little bit different. They say, regularly,
wake cam up at three am, like if it's not
your actual bedtime. Yeah, it's like for us it'd be
wake up at midnight.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I suppose.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
They say stress can influence your sleep cycle, and our
levels of stress hormone corsol are higher in the morning,
waking up in the early hours. On repeats jests that
your cortisol's peaking sooner they should be.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, you're getting stressed in your sleep. That makes sense.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's not great if you have sleepless Sundays. So if
you struggle fall asleep, and most Sundays may have something
to do with work.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
That makes sense because you're like thinking about the whole
week and stressing you out getting the Sunday scaries.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah. Yeah, if you have work place nightmares, oh yeah,
yeah I have somewhere I come in and somebody else
is doing the show, and it's just like what do
I do? Know?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's like what nobody told me.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, they say, Yeah, we spend so much time at
work a sound surprise and we dream about it. Sure,
but if your dreams more of a nightmare variety, it'd
be a warning sign.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
They say.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
If your workplace dreams are always surrounded by negativity, like
missing deadlines, over sleeping, and being fired, that suggests the
workplace stress is ingrained and you're subconscious.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
That sounds all right. Yeah you're like literally dreaming about it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had Maybe I've had
dreams with the dump button doesn't work, nightmare, leave.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
The mic on when you're not supposed to or overleep?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Do you revenge bedtime procrastination? I do this? Like what
does that mean?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
So instead of going to sleep, it's because it's been
so busy throughout the day, you like stay up and
watch videos because I still deserve time off.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
You're like, let me just relax a little bit longer,
and then you before the next day. Correct, Yeah, that's huge.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
And the last one is you have a weekly sleep
schedule and a weekend sleep schedule, so it says I
sleep in the weekend to make up for work. Sleep
deprivation is a clear sign your jobs affect your sleep cycle.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
We have a really weird schedule.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, I mean for us, I think on the weekend,
if I get to seven o'clock, it's a miracle. Yeah,
that's kind of like it. But what I love your
