Sleep is literally a game changer when it comes to health outcomes. You might think of sleep as just a time when you're out like a light, but it's so much more than that. It is the backbone of your health, your performance, and your overall well-being. The quality of your sleep matters just as much as the quantity. During sleep, your body kicks into high gear, repairing tissues, consolidating memories, and regulating hormones.

In this podcast episode Dr. Barb covers:

  • Importance of sleep and why sleep matters
  • The important role of sleep for the body
  • Circadian Rhythms and how this affects you
