The Ultimate Anti-Aging Routine: Improving Your Sleep Hygiene

51 min • 9 maj 2023

Welcome back! For the next few episodes, we’re continuing our current theme of Mindset May, and focusing specifically on our brain health. Because who doesn’t want to be sharp when they’re 90, right?

In today’s episode, I’m talking about something we often sacrifice, but desperately need—quality sleep. We all crave it, and at various points in our lives, we all struggle with it (shoutout to my friends with young children).

So, I’m sharing a wealth of information about the function and science of sleep and some of my favorite methods for improving your sleep quality ASAP.

I also talk about…

4 stages of sleep and what we get from each of them
The importance of breaking up with the snooze button
Creating a sleep friendly environment
Building in relaxation time before sleep
The effects of caffeine, alcohol, food, and exercise on sleep quality
Light as a supplement to get in doses throughout the day
