About Emily
Emily Freilino is a Senior Certified Sleep Consultant and proud member of Sleep Wise Consulting. Originally from the beautiful state of Colorado, she lived in the New York City area before settling in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her husband and two boys. After 10+ years working in advertising in NYC and dealing
with sleepless nights and exhaustion, she learned just how precious sleep is. Now she has been working in behavioral sleep for the last six years and partners with adults and children to develop healthy sleep habits. Sleep is precious, and Emily knows from personal experience how many theories on sleep exist that create confusion and not much help. She works to create customized plans for each individual and sticks by their side to help guide them through the process. Emily’s passion lies in helping others get the sleep they need. She believes that a well rested individual is someone that has more time to embrace what they love in life!
Key Takeaways
Restful sleep is possible – and it’s a skill. Learning to sleep well requires effort, consistency, and prioritizing your own health and well-being.
Stop wearing tiredness or exhaustion as a badge of honor. Our society prioritizes how much we are achieving, even at the detriment of our sleep and health.
Lack of sleep causes serious medical issues. Lack of sleeping causes 1.2M car accidents per year; there’s a 200% increase in heart attacks in individuals with constant disrupted sleep, and it can lead to diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
It’s a myth that older adults need less sleep. After adolescence, we need at least seven to nine hours of sleep throughout our entire lives.
The biggest indicator of how well you’re sleeping is how you feel. While we need 7-9 hours of sleep, don’t get too caught up in the hours. Really focus on how your body is feeling throughout the day and ask yourself if you feel rested, nourished, and able to thrive?
Our mindset about sleep is key. Just like with aging, negative perceptions of our ability to sleep impact our actual ability to sleep well. Shifting your mindset about your sleep can help reset your patterns.
