Understanding the Science of Sleep & Decoding Your Dreams w/ Dr. Matthew Walker EP 1476

HOW MUCH DAMAGE IS POOR SLEEP DOING TO YOU?

Sleep is the foundation we give ourselves to pursue our goals vigorously, and today’s guest is perfectly suited to help us understand why we should be prioritizing our sleep. Dr. Matthew Walker earned his degree in neuroscience from Nottingham University, UK, and his Ph.D. in neurophysiology from the Medical Research Council in London. Dr. Walker researches the impact of sleep on human health and disease, and he’s written the international bestseller, Why We Sleep, unlocking the power of sleep and dreams.

In this episode, we discuss why sleep is the foundational pillar for our overall health, why most people are terrible at prioritizing sleep and how to change that, the effects of poor sleep over time, how anxiety and stress affect our sleep, the importance of dreams and how we can influence them, and so much more.

“Sleep is probably the single most effective thing that you can do to reset both your brain and your body.”@sleepdiplomat
