Stop Checking Your Sleep Score in the Morning. A Neurologist Explains Why.

from Biohack-it · host Iman Hasan

Sleep is the one thing I know I need to be better about. And when I found Dr. Chris Winter, I knew he was the person I wanted sitting across from me for this conversation.Dr. Winter is a neurologist and one of the leading sleep experts in the country. He has spent his career working with everyone from elite athletes to everyday people who just cannot get their sleep right. And in this episode, he told me a lot of things I did not expect to hear.We talk about why your Oura ring score is probably making your sleep worse, not better. Why sleeping longer is not the same as sleeping better. What your brain is actually doing while you sleep and what happens when it stops doing it. The link between poor sleep and dementia, and why the research says you can change that outcome even if you carry the gene. How alcohol destroys your sleep even if it helps you fall asleep fast. What a proper melatonin dose actually looks like and why most people are doing it wrong. Why waking up at night is completely normal and not what your tracker is making you think it is. The one supplement combination Dr. Winters says is backed by real research. And why falling asleep in under two minutes is a red flag, not a flex.This episode completely changed the way I think about sleep. I hope it does the same for you.Sponsor:Shop Natrol Ultra Sleep here: https://www.natrol.com/collections/ultra-sleepTry Branch Basics:20% off Premium Starter Kit https://branchbasics.com/BIOHACKIT20 Code:Biohackit20
