Think you’re being productive by skipping sleep? Think again! Sleep is such an essential part of our well-being, but it often gets tossed aside when life gets hectic. When you prioritize sleep, you’re not just setting yourself up for a better tomorrow; you’re investing in a healthier, happier, and more productive version of yourself.

Tune into this week’s podcast with Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown as she dives into why sleep matters, the benefits, tips for better rest, and whether aging makes sleep harder!

Key Takeaways:

• Sleep is not a sign of weakness, but a necessary and productive activity for overall health and well-being.
• The recommended amount of sleep varies by age, with adults needing 7-9 hours, teenagers needing 8-10 hours, and children needing 9-13 hours.
• Consistency in sleep schedule and routine is key for good sleep quality.
• Creating a sleep-friendly environment, free from distractions and with optimal temperature and lighting, can improve sleep.
• Limiting technology use before bed and practicing calming rituals can help prepare the body for sleep.
• When waking up in the middle of the night, assess if there are any discomforts or needs to address before trying to go back to sleep.
• Supplements like magnesium and vitamin D can aid sleep, but they are not a substitute for addressing underlying sleep issues.
