Listen Later

Two-thirds of adults throughout all developed nations are chronically underslept - are you one of them? If you’ve ever wondered how much sleep you actually need (and no, six hours a night isn’t cutting it), if you should be napping, and how you can get through the night without having a wonky neck in the morning, this episode is for you. 

On today’s episode, I cover...

  • Why you need more sleep right now
  • If you really need a nap (and the best length for the perfect nap)
  • How much sleep you actually need for optimum health
  • Simple ways you can set yourself up for sleep success starting tonight 
  • And the best sleep positions that won’t leave you with a cranky neck in the morning
