Episode 46 | Let's Talk About Sleep

In today's episode of Psych Talk I talk all about sleep. Sleep is extremely important to our overall physical and mental health. Good quality sleep impacts many aspects of our functioning, yet the CDC estimates that one in three adults in the United States does not get enough sleep. In this episode I discuss how much sleep we need, the differences between sleep deprivation and insomnia, and the benefits of good sleep and negative impacts of poor sleep. Additionally, I finish the episode by discussing evidence-based interventions that have been shown to improve sleep quality. As always, Psych Talk is not a replacement for therapy, thus, if you feel that your sleep is disrupting your functioning, it is recommended to seek out assistance from a professional.
