Unlocking the Power of Sleep: Dr. Leigha Saunders on Boosting Mood and Health
“For 7 to 9 hours every night we human beings spend our time unconscious... our mental and physical health suffer.”
Why do we spend nearly a third of our lives asleep? Dr. Talia Marcheggiani sits down with Dr. Leigha Saunders, a naturopathic doctor specializing in sleep, to explore this essential yet often neglected part of our daily routine. They dive into the mechanics of a good night's sleep and how even small disruptions can wreak havoc on our mental and physical well-being. Dr. Saunders sheds light on how poor sleep affects everything from mood to hormone balance and energy levels.
She also shares practical tips on improving sleep hygiene, creating a restful environment, and using technology to track sleep patterns. One of the standout topics is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), which Dr. Saunders explains can be a game-changer for those struggling with chronic sleep issues.
If you've ever wondered why you wake up feeling groggy or how to get better rest, this episode is packed with actionable advice and insights that can help you sleep your way to a better mood and healthier life.
