14. The science behind sleeping well with Dr Neil Stanley

In this episode sleep researcher for 25 years and author of 'How to Sleep Well' Dr Neil Stanley dives into busting myths behind sleep while teaching us about what actually happens during sleep. We discuss the sleep deprivation epidemic, the causes, and potential solutions. This chat is filled with lots of take-away nuggets and full of clarity over quite a jumbled arena in wellness.

Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention. Life throws curve balls unexpectedly and these can feel much more manageable when we know more about our mind. I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable.
