Sleep Your Way to Success with Special Guest Yishan Xu, PhD

Many entrepreneurs are not getting enough sleep.  This is partly due to the hustle culture of entrepreneurship and partly because they tend to bootstrap their business, even when they can afford to hire or outsource.  I work with female entrepreneurs who identify with ADHD traits, and I can say with full confidence that very few of them are getting the kind of sleep that they know they should (and wish they could.) Since this is our first guest expert interview, I wanted it to be special and deliver value.  I connected with sleep psychologist Yishan Xu, Ph.D., a Stanford-trained expert in behavioral sleep psychology,  host of two podcasts, Deep Into Sleep and  Ask Yishan,  a Mandarin language podcast. Dr. Xu also hosts a YouTube channel.  And, if that wasn’t enough, she’s a successful entrepreneur with a group practice in California that has more than 10 clinicians.In this interview, we will be talking about how sleep is essential for entrepreneurs, how to get quality sleep, and the do’s and dont’s of sleeping (among others).  Yishan and I will cover the following:Why she became a behavioral sleep specialist and sleep problems she treatsHabits of adults with ADHD that contribute to sleep deficits The statistics on sleep and mental clarity  (they're scary) Why you should stop hitting the snooze button The connection between sleep and weight Caffeine and energy  (this one blew my mind!)The science and culture of napping  -Yishan & Diann share their personal beliefs and napping habits Recommendations: Yishan talked about and uses Phillips Hue smart lighting in her home:https://www.philips-hue.com/en-usAre you loving The Driven Woman Podcast, listening regularly, maybe even a subscriber who eagerly waits for Tuesday when the next episode is released?
