Why Sleep Matters

This is a bonus episode of the Unleashing Potential Podcast that focuses on a topic that could be the single most important lifestyle behaviour that’s stopping you from performing at your peak at work and in life.

It’s also a topic that could be having a hugely detrimental impact on your health and life expectancy. 

And that’s not hyperbole!

The subject is sleep and this conversation focussed on WHY sleep matters. Mat Lock had the opportunity of talking with Filipa Bellette and the conversation quickly took a deep dive into the physiological implications of not getting enough sleep each and every night.

Filipa is one of Australia’s leading Functional Medicine practitioners who is passionate about helping her clients improve a range of important lifestyle related behaviours, of which sleep is one. She generously shared some key takeaways for ‘why’ we sleep and then a tangible, real-life walk through the ‘HOW TO’ of improving sleep hygiene.

On the Unleashing Potential Podcast, we interview progressive individuals who are unleashing their potential on the world around them. We take a deep dive on how they got to where they are, what lessons they have learned along the way and how their experiences can impact us all.

This is a great conversation for anyone who is not regularly getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Mat shared some of his realties around sleep and was treated to an ‘in the moment’ coaching session that was as valuable for him as it will be for every listener of this episode.

So, reframe the idea of ‘pillow talk’ and get ready to be guided through a ‘sleep 101’ mini masterclass with one of Australia’s leading experts.
