212. How to Feel Rested Again (When Sleep Isn’t the Problem)
from Beyond Awareness: Closing the Gap Between Knowing and Doing
You’re getting enough sleep - seven, maybe eight hours - and you’re still exhausted. In this conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician and author of The Seven Types of Rest, to talk about why sleep alone doesn’t fix burnout, mental overload, or that constant feeling of being drained. We unpack the difference between sleep and rest, why so many high-achieving women feel tired even when they’re “doing everything right,” and how exhaustion often comes from the places in life where you’re pouring out without restoring. This isn’t about adding another habit or fixing your bedtim e routine. It’s about noticing where your energy is going, and what it actually takes to feel rested again.
