Sleep is a Skill, with Mollie Eastman

Most of us know sleep is important for our health, but how important is it really? The science behind what happens when our bodies aren’t getting enough sleep is jarring, to say the least. On today’s episode of Health is a Skill, Todd sits down with popular podcaster and sleep expert, Mollie Eastman, to talk about how to make getting a good night’s rest a priority for your health. Together Mollie and Todd break down why aligning your sleep patterns to the rhythms of nature can have such a big impact, how what you eat and when you eat can improve sleep, and some of the biggest mistakes many of us are making when it comes to sleeping well. They finish up the conversation by taking a look at some of the newest technology coming down the pipe that may help revolutionize the way we track how sleep is affecting our health. Learn more about Mollie and her resources on her website: https://www.sleepisaskill.com/. Get access to Todd's free health resource: https://podtodd.com   Learn more about Stark at: https://www.stark.health  CHAPTERS00:00 The Importance of Sleep Management03:06 Understanding the Wheel of Health05:57 The Consequences of Poor Sleep09:45 Insights from Mollie Eastman on Sleep13:54 Chronobiology and Circadian Rhythms17:59 The Role of Light in Sleep Quality21:58 Nutrition Timing and Sleep26:09 Technology and Sleep Optimization30:13 Common Sleep Mistakes and Solutions Your health is a skill you can build.
