98 - Nurse Sarah Jeffries, on How to Sleep Better, Improve Brain Health, and Feel More Alive!

1 hour 7 minutes

Nurse Sarah Jeffries, RN, MSN, Nurse Educator and former ER Nurse, joins to talk about sleep health, brain health, and hacks for longevity and a better, more alive existence! She also has three young children and a husband, Tony Jeffries, who was an undefeated bronze medalist and professional boxer. So Sarah is exceptionally well-rounded in her study of sleep and brain health, and she shares her own journey to feeling more alive after pushing herself and breaking down, and how she worked to help herself. This week:

Her personal journey of health after panic attacks

The dangers of taking melatonin

How our brain processes light

Resetting our circadian rhythm

Best practices for improving recovery and sleep

The damage of stress and overwork

Morning routines to set you up for success

The advantage of cutting out alcohol

Pre-bed routines

What blue light does to our brains and how to counteract it

How she continues to make changes and find balance in her life with three kids

Of course, this conversation was right up my alley, as I often say that sleep is the key to life. I think Sarah would take it further and say "good sleep"! Listen today and let us know what you thought in the reviews!
