Today Tara Youngblood, fusion scientist and self-proclaimed “sleep geek” joins Dana on the podcast to talk about…you guessed it, sleep! Quality sleeping habits are becoming more and more of a struggle for many people around the world. Many of us constantly have blue light in our faces from our computers, our phones and binging Netflix before bed. In fact, the CDC (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention) has declared Sleep Disorders a public epidemic (eek!!). Studies have shown that poor sleeping habits can lead to autoimmune issues, heart disease, lowered sex drive, memory loss and more.

In today’s episode Tara breaks down how temperature and blue light can affect our ability to get deep sleep, the pro’s and con’s of using sleep trackers, how our hormones affect our sleep, and tips for creating a night time routine that will help you fall asleep faster and get more REM sleep.
