Mastering Your Internal Clock: Optimizing Sleep and Health With Circadian Rhythm Insights with Ellen Wermter & Mary Helen Rogers

Welcome back to Catching Zzz's, the show where we pull back the covers on the science of sleep and give you tips you can actually use without needing a PhD.  Today's episode is for anyone who's ever wondered why they feel like a zombie in the morning or suddenly wake up at midnight. We're talking about circadian rhythms, your body's internal clock, and why they're way more important than just telling you when to sleep. Joining host Mary Helen Rogers is someone who knows this better than almost anyone, Ellen Wermter. She's a Family Nurse Practitioner, a diplomat in behavioral sleep medicine, a fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and one of the most passionate voices in the sleep health field.  You may recognize Ellen's name as she was on the first season of the podcast discussing Women's Health Month and a variety of topics such as sleep trackers, bedroom environments, and more.  Whether you're looking to optimize your bedtime routine or simply curious about how your body works, you'll walk away with practical takeaways to support better sleep and overall health.  You can view full show notes and more at https://bettersleep.org/blog  Quick Links: Better Sleep Council  International Sleep Products Association Follow Better Sleep Council on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube
