Sleep as a Reset: How a Bad Night Affects Your Stress Response – Jin Wen (Pt2)

"Does poor sleep impact your stress more than stress affects your sleep?" In this second episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues his insightful discussion with sleep researcher Jin Wen, diving deeper into the fascinating relationship between daily stress and sleep. Jin explains that while stress and sleep influence each other, poor sleep has a more direct impact on how we handle stress the next day. This episode explores the nuances of how sleep acts like a reset button, and when that reset is faulty, it can shape our reactions to daily hassles. Jin also sheds light on how chronic stress differs from daily stress and how physiological markers like cortisol play a role in both. She discusses the use of objective measures such as cortisol and heart rate variability in understanding the body's response to stress and sleep quality.
