Poor sleep doesn’t just make you tired — it can fuel anxiety, worsen depression, and leave you stuck in survival mode. The good news? You can improve your sleep quality, and today’s guest is here to teach you how.

I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Silverman, a Stanford-trained sleep psychologist and insomnia expert, to unpack the powerful connection between sleep and mental health. We cover the difference between sleep deprivation and insomnia, how to manage nighttime worries, and what to actually do when you wake up at 2 a.m. We also dive into navigating new mom sleep, whether quality or quantity matters more, the importance of morning light exposure, and her take on sleep aids, mouth taping, and night terrors.

😴 If you know someone who could use better sleep, be sure to text them this episode.
