Sleep is something we all do, humans, animals, and even plants. But why do we sleep, and what actually happens in our brains while we're asleep?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dale Rae, a leading sleep scientist, to explore the fascinating world of sleep, its critical role in memory, immune function, and mental well-being, and what happens when we don’t get enough of it.
We discuss:
🔹 Why sleep is essential for survival
🔹 The different stages of sleep and their functions
🔹 How sleep affects learning, memory, and emotional processing
🔹 The impact of sleep deprivation on the brain and body
🔹 The role of circadian rhythms and how light influences sleep
🔹 Sleep disorders like insomnia and why women suffer more than men
🔹 Practical tips to improve your sleep quality
If you’ve ever struggled with sleep, wondered why you wake up tired or just want to optimize your health and performance, this conversation is for you.
