S03_E24 - Insomnia... and How to Fix It.
I’m sure most of all of us would agree that sleep is precious…
But sooner or later we all run into issues falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early. Of course, missing out on quality sleep can have direct consequences on how well we function in our daily lives, but did you know it can have real consequences on your physical and mental health as well? So, when is it actually insomnia versus just a restless night? How many hours of sleep should I get each night? How long does the average person need to fall asleep? And maybe most importantly - what’s the ideal length of a nap?
On the final episode of Season 3 of our show, we’ll look into the world of restful sleep with sleep psychologist Dr. Mark Rosenblum. Dr. Rosenblum is also a specialist in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which has been proven to show even better results than most of the medications prescribed for this condition, and without the hefty side effects. So tune in and find out what causes insomnia, when it’s time to get help, and what the best methods are to make sure you’re able to get a proper dose of restful, delicious sleep. We hope you’ll join us, and as always, thanks for listening!
