What do humans beings spend more time doing than anything else?
Sleep!
Dr. Kim was so kind to share about all things sleep with us in this episode. Caregivers often struggle with sleep whether it is due to increased stress, worry or needing to be awake and alert to care for loved ones.
Did you know that what you do in the morning has a direct impact on the quality of your sleep that night? Or that being up for 19 hours will impair you at the equivalency of being intoxicated?
We learn about:
- The ramifications of not getting good sleep
- Why total sleep is not the same as quality of sleep
- What good sleep hygiene looks like
- New science about sleep
- Why we are poor historians of our sleep
- Sleep aids and sleep supplements
- Creative ways of addressing insomnia
