Episode Details

In this episode, Gina and Dr. Beverley are talking psychology and sleep. Dr. Beverley breaks down why sleep is more than just rest—it's brain maintenance. She explains how sleep affects everything from your mood to your hormones to your ability to make solid choices during the day. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still struggling, your sleep might be the missing piece. From why you can’t actually “catch up” on lost sleep to how your daily habits shape your nights, this conversation shifts the way you think about winding down. Dr. B also gets into what’s happening in each sleep stage, whether or not working out late is a good idea, and how to track your sleep without adding pressure. Plus—spoiler alert—men and women do experience sleep differently. The takeaway? Sleep isn’t just part of your wellness routine—it is the routine.

Dr. Beverley is a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. She also holds a Ph.D. in Sleep Research (Insomnia) and a Master's in Health Psychology.
