Episode 241: Unlocking Your Healing Potential with Deep Sleep
If I told you there was a pill that would help you lose weight, reduce cravings, improve blood sugar balance, slow signs of aging, give you energy, boost your mood, aid in recovery, increase immune function, enhance learning, memory, and motor skills, improve exercise performance, detoxify your body, and potentially prevent diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia, you'd probably be jumping in line willing to pay a pretty penny for that pill. Am I right?
The good news is you don't have to pay a dime and you don't have to swallow a pill. Turns out, you just need to get more deep sleep.
If you struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up rested, join the club… one in three Americans struggles to get enough sleep.
With long working hours, addiction to tv and our phones, having young kids to take care of, 50-70 million Americans dealing with sleep disorders, and health issues on the rise, those numbers don’t surprise me.
What did surprise me is nearly 40% of adults report accidentally falling asleep during the day. -NCOA.org
That is absolutely wild!
These numbers tell me one thing: we as a society do not appreciate how drastically sleep can alter our mental health, physical health, and quality of life.
Sure no one likes being tired all the time, but we accept it as the norm. We consider it a part of aging and life that we just have to deal with.
And what happens when we accept something as ‘just part of life’? Nothing. As in, we do nothing to change it.
Meanwhile if we prioritized this essential pillar of our wellbeing we could enjoy the many benefits of that 'magic pill' we talked about.
But you know me, and I don’t want to just help you get more sleep. I want to help you get better quality sleep so you can get the biggest bang for your buck.
Which brings us to today’s episode where we’re diving deep… into deep sleep that is. The most restorative and powerful phase of our sleep cycle.
We’re going to be talking through the 4 stages of our sleep cycle, what deep sleep is, the countless benefits you can experience when you prioritize it, consequences of not getting enough, the habits that are disrupting your deep sleep before your head even hits the pillow, and the ideal routine to optimize deep sleep and make reaching your health goals a whole lot easier.
