Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter

#120 - Sleepmaxxing: Broke The Limit


Listen Later

Up until recently, getting more sleep was not exactly cool and absolutely not something to brag about. Gen Z may be changing that perception on social medial as they brag about getting more sleep, better sleep, and pushing the concept of sleep perfection to the "max." In this week's episode, we will:

  • Highlight Kate Lindsay's September 8, 2024 New York Times article entitled How The Pursuit of Perfect Sleep Can Backfire
  • Define "sleepmaxxing"
  • Discuss the pros of celebrating more/better sleep publicly
  • Relate this movement to the term orthosomnia
  • Understand why this movement could have very negative implications for the insomnia community
  • Consider where our optimal placement on the sleep spectrum should be
