Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed. 

How do you maximize your REM sleep, and what's the optimal bedtime to get to bed? Sleep is an ongoing struggle for me, so I'm throwing it back to some much-needed advice from our chat with sleep expert Alanna McGinn. She breaks down what you need to know about sleep hygiene, and how to hack resetting your sleep cycle when you travel to a new time zone.

 Alanna is the founder and lead sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site, host of the ‘This Girl Loves Sleep’ podcast and author of ‘This Baby Loves Sleep’. Alanna and her team of sleep consultants are certified through The Family Sleep Institute and have helped thousands of families around the world overcome their sleep challenges and establish healthy nighttime habits. Alanna is the resident sleep expert for publications like Forbes, Maclean’s and Today’s Parent, and the media sleep expert on Cityline, Breakfast Television, CBC Radio, and more.
