If you're not sleeping your mental health will suffer. This week on the podcast my friend and registered social worker Meghan Pistchik joins me to discuss how sleep impacts mental health. In this episode, we take a deep dive into: - how sleep directly impacts mental health - what causes insomnia - how to build a better bedtime routine  - how to optimize melatonin levels  - how alcohol affects sleep and mental health - the role of stress and sex hormones on sleep & mental health - dealing with partners that snore & sleep accessories - creating an optimal sleep environment
