Episode 187- How Sleep and Light Affect Weight and Blood Sugar with Mollie Eastman


Listen Later

Mollie Eastman is a sleep expert specializing in creating quality sleep and its direct correlation with one's quality of life. After struggling with insomnia herself, Mollie dedicated her professional career to educating others about the value of sleep. I loved our conversation about creating an optimal sleep environment, the importance of melatonin and its correlation with our lighting environment, creating a regular sleep-wake schedule, and more!

WHAT WE DISCUSSED:

[8:33]- How Mollie became passionate about sleep as a skill.

[17:32]- What are the four sleep stages? What are the pros and cons of using a sleep tracking device?

[28:40]- What is meant by "A good night's sleep starts at daybreak?"

[38:44]- How is melatonin dysregulation associated with sleep disorders, an increase in respiration and HRV, and other health consequences?

[48:33]- Can sleep be a supplement to hormone replacement therapy? How can someone create an ideal sleeping environment to have restorative sleep?

[1:04:11]- How do alcohol and caffeine affect sleep quality?
