Struggling with restless nights? You're not alone. This episode tackles sleeplessness, exploring the science behind what disrupts our sleep and offering practical solutions for better nights.
Dr. Emi dips into the culprits behind sleep issues. Ever scroll through your phone before bed? The blue light disrupts melatonin production, the hormone that regulates sleep. Chronic stress also plays a villainous role, with cortisol keeping you wired and hindering deep sleep.
But fear not! Dr. Emi goes beyond medications, promoting a holistic approach to sleep hygiene. Listeners will discover a toolbox of solutions: consistent sleep schedules even on weekends, calming bedtime routines, and creating a cool, dark, and quiet sleep environment. The episode also explores the power of regular exercise (avoiding vigorous workouts close to bedtime), dietary adjustments like limiting caffeine and alcohol, and acknowledging underlying medical conditions that might contribute to sleeplessness.
