Will sleep become the new kale? Or the new cancer? Adults are shorting ourselves on sleep in droves in our "always-on" culture, and I'm unfortunately leading the pack. That's why I begged sleep science coach Christine Hansen to join me for a half hour to get some important tips!! I started implementing a new way to wake up my kids immediately, and I know being a better parent means being well-rested (i.e. not angry mommy). If you feel like you're not getting a tight 8 in bed OR your sleep *quality* doesn't feel optimal, this is a must listen. We talk about:* How adult sleep is so much more complicated than infant sleep. * Our brain's many jobs during sleep - and why we can't catch up! :( * Why caffeine and morning sleepiness are signs of sleep deprivation (ahem, anyone out there feel this??)* The anatomy of sleep and how to wake up at the perfect time* Problems for "night owls"* The BEST way to wake up your child (hint: it's not an alarm clock)* As a nutritional therapist, Christine has unique and powerful insights into how our food affects our sleep!* We dig into kids: bedtimes, sleepy at school, and even how dessert affects their sleep! * How many hours DO you need? How about teenagers? No time for the whole video?
