Can I ask a silly question? How good at sleeping are you?

I read a fascinating poll from the National Sleep Foundation, and it stated…

"only 10% of American adults prioritize their sleep over other aspects of daily living such as fitness/nutrition, work, social life and hobbies."

As we all know, when we get a great night's sleep we feel unstoppable. We're sharper, clearer and more productive. We are less likely to get triggered by what others say, or when things don't quite go how we hoped.

Great sleep helps us live better lives.

So, how do we make it a priority?

My guest today, Carly Pollack, simplifies how to make sleep part of your 'non-negotiable' self-care routine.

Carly Pollack is a nutritionist, author, and business owner.

In this episode, you will learn:

• About the science of sleep, and what happens to our minds and bodies when we sleep
• Why sleep so important to our health and stress levels
• How to set your bedroom and nightly habits up for success
• The 4 questions Carly asks herself nightly that help her take a daily inventory of her life and make simple refinements
• • How did I overcome resistance today?
  • What did I do today that was great?
  • What can I improve?
  • What am I going to do tomorrow to put this improvement into action?
• How to train the mind and build better discipline around sleep… so you can get back to thriving

This is part 2 in a series of 5 episodes, where Carly Pollack talks about how to make self-care a 'non-negotiable' in your work and life. Make sure to listen to part 1 - episode 037, where Carly shares simple, practical tips on cooking and meal prep.

I love her, and Carly's new book - Feed Your Soul: Nutritional Wisdom to Lose Weight Permanently and Live Fulfilled - is a must-read if you're done with dieting, and want to learn how to have a better relationship with food and your body.
