Welcome back to Happy Whole You Podcast! Today, I want to dive deep into a topic that's close to my heart – sleep. I used to think I could get away with minimal sleep in my 20s, driven by a belief that exercise trumped rest. But as I've aged, I've come to realize just how crucial sleep is for our well-being. In this episode, I'll discuss the differences between insomnia and various forms of sleep deprivation, from acute to chronic. Sharing my personal experience with early morning exercise classes and the challenges they pose to sleep; I'll emphasize the importance of crafting a calming nightly routine and introduce you to some natural sleep aids. As we embark on this journey towards better sleep, remember – a well-rested you is a healthier, happier you. And stay tuned for exciting updates, including a new co-host joining us on the Happy Whole You Podcast!
