Dr. Helen Burgess on Circadian Rhythm

from The Life Lab by Death Clock

This week, Brent speaks with Dr. Helen Burgess, a leading researcher in sleep and circadian rhythms, to unpack what we actually know about how to optimize your internal clock. Drawing on decades of research, Burgess explains how circadian rhythms govern everything from sleep and hormones to body temperature, and why consistent light exposure may be the most powerful lever for improving sleep. The conversation explores the role of blue light, the growing use (and misuse) of melatonin, and why shifting your sleep schedule requires more precision than most people realize. She's a wonderful guest and a great resource. Hope you enjoy.
