Sleep is often seen as this boring thing that doesn’t get us anywhere. In this podcast, we speak with sleep expert, Dr. Michael Grandner about re-shaping cultural perceptions of sleep, seeing sleep as an investment in our future. We also discuss the importance of winding down at night and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.

 

Dr. Michael Grandner is a licensed clinical psychologist, Director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona, and Director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Clinic at the Banner-University Medical Center in Tucson, AZ.
