Why we need sleep and how to optimise it.
Episode 18
Todays’ episode is a solo affair with yours truly, and it’s all to do with sleep. We are all aware that a poor night’s sleep makes us feel crappy, but in this issue I explore what’s happening in the brain when we sleep and why there are a range of both short and long-term consequences for our physical and mental health as well as cognitive performance if it is compromised.
I will then go through a comprehensive sleep hygiene protocol that will enhance anyone’s ability to sleep and another that has been clinically proven to help insomniacs as well.
So if you have a brain and you want to optimise it’s performance as well as your overall physical and mental health, this is a must-listen to episode.
