Why Most People Aren’t Sleeping: Your Brain Isn’t Resting | Dr. Francisco Cidral
from Brain Fitness Podcast with Dr. Patrick Porter · host Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD
It’s 10 PM. You go to sleep. You wake up at 6. You should feel rested… but you don’t. So what’s actually happening? In this episode, I sit down again with Dr. Francisco Cidral to explore why most people think they’re getting deep, restorative sleep, yet their brains aren’t recovering the way they should.Because your brain doesn’t just “turn off” at night. And if you’re not reaching true deep sleep, the systems responsible for recovery, detox, and reset don’t fully activate. There’s a missing piece here, and it has to do with how your brain enters the states required for real recovery.That’s where BrainTap becomes part of the conversation.Resources mentioned in this episode:Integrative Wellbeing Institute - https://integrativewellbeing.institute/BrainTap free 14-day trial - https://braintap.com/membership-and-headset/#Get-StartedConnect with Dr. Francisco Cidral:https://www.linkedin.com/in/francisco-cidral-nd-phd-83511521b/Connect with Dr. Patrick Porter:https://drpatrickporter.com/https://www.instagram.com/drpatrickporter/https://www.facebook.com/DrPatrickPorter/https://www.youtube.com/c/drpatrickporterOther helpful links & information:http://www.braintap.pro/*Our content is for informational purposes only and should not be treated as medical or health advice.
