Circadian Rhythm Explained with Dr. Catherine Darley

85% of us use artificial light at night. This might not sound surprising or strange, but it does create problems for us and our circadian rhythm. Our biological clocks, governed by circadian rhythms, are intricately linked to light exposure. When artificial light disrupts this natural cycle, it interferes with the production of melatonin, among other things. As a result, many of us find ourselves tossing and turning, unable to achieve the restorative sleep we need. On this episode I was joined by Dr. Catherine Darley who was kind enough to share her insights on circadian rhythm and as well as some practical strategies to reclaim a harmonious sleep-wake cycle. Dr. Catherine Darley is an expert in natural sleep medicine. Having treated patients for over 20 years, she teaches the sleep skills people need to thrive through her online courses. If you want to learn more about Dr. Darley and her work, make sure you visit her website and connect with her on Instagram and YouTube. Dr. Darley was also kind enough to leave us with a downloadable guide to help you assess your symptoms and design personalized strategies for optimal rest.
