Every kind of sleep serves some functional, evolutionary, fundamental significance. In this episode, I break it down in sections: why it’s hard to get to sleep, terms like "revenge bedtime procrastination" and "sleep debt", the effect of lack of sleep, the relationship between sleep and mental health conditions–and bipolar disorder specifically–and ways to improve both sleep and mental health including my favorite strategies and rituals. A few resources I've found helpful: Matthew Walker's interview with The Knowledge Project: https://fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/matthew-walker/; Leona Lewis' sleep story: https://www.calm.com/blog/drift-of-to-sleep-with-leona-lewis-and-save-lives-with-red, Bipolar Disorder and Sleep Issues on very well health: https://www.verywellhealth.com/bipolar-insomnia-5221108, Reclaim A Good Night's Sleep: https://www.npr.org/2022/06/14/1105122521/stop-revenge-bedtime-procrastination-get-better-sleep
