98 - Nurse Sarah Jeffries, on How to Sleep Better, Improve Brain Health, and Feel More Alive!

Nurse Sarah Jeffries, RN, MSN, Nurse Educator and former ER Nurse, joins to talk about sleep health, brain health, and hacks for longevity and a better, more alive existence! She also has three young children and a husband, Tony Jeffries, who was an undefeated bronze medalist and professional boxer. So Sarah is exceptionally well-rounded in her study of sleep and brain health, and she shares her own journey to feeling more alive after pushing herself and breaking down, and how she worked to help herself. This week: Her personal journey of health after panic attacks The dangers of taking melatonin How our brain processes light Resetting our circadian rhythm Best practices for improving recovery and sleep The damage of stress and overwork Morning routines to set you up for success The advantage of cutting out alcohol Pre-bed routines What blue light does to our brains and how to counteract it How she continues to make changes and find balance in her life with three kids Of course, this conversation was right up my alley, as I often say that sleep is the key to life. I think Sarah would take it further and say "good sleep"! Listen today and let us know what you thought in the reviews!
