Sleep is as vital for life as food, water, and breathing, but knowing its importance doesn’t necessarily provide you with the tools to improve it. What if you toss and turn and can’t sleep until late? What if you wake up five times a night to pee? What if you work night shifts and suffer from jetlag-like symptoms weekly? On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet a researcher whose work is focused on understanding and improving sleep homeostasis.

Listen and learn:

  • Why some people don’t operate on a 24 hour clock
  • How certain individuals seem to adapt to irregular work schedules without health problems
  • Sleep pattern changes with aging and what that means for your health
  • The importance of seeing a sleep specialist if you suspect any problems
  • Gizmos vs. lab tech vs. subjective journaling
