What’s the one thing that can help with your ability to perform on the job, allow you to better manage your emotions, improve your health, and perhaps save your marriage? Sleep!
“When life gets busy and we’re pulled in different directions, the first thing we let go of is sleep and that’s the thing we need to preserve the most.” This is according to Dr. Shane Creado, a sleep medicine doc who talks about three aspects of sleep: timing, quality, and duration. In his words, “God gave us the greatest gift of sleep. He just forgot to give us a user menu. And that's where I come in.”
We touch on the exhaustion you feel when you’re burned out and how sleep can help. Whether you aren’t sleeping because you’re trying to get more done or because you’re overly stressed about everything on your to-do list and can’t turn your mind off, this episode is for you.
If you’re ready to debunk the myths about sleep, find out why your sleep is disrupted, and what you can do to optimize your sleep, listen to this episode in full.
