The sleep whisperer


Listen Later

Nearly half of Floridians report experiencing sleeplessness, many relying on over-the-counter drugs and supplements like melatonin to catch up on rest. We meet a sleep psychologist who recommends ditching medications and tech gimmicks to nurture our relationship with sleep. She offers a gentler approach to “sleep hygiene” for those who suffer from insomnia and sleep deprivation and joins us ahead of her TEDxJacksonville presentation Jan. 17.

Guest:

  • Dr. Jade Wu, sleep psychologist and author of Hello Sleep: The Science and Art of Overcoming Insomnia Without Medications.

Then, a storyteller with a deep respect for public dialogue, Jenn White has been the guiding voice behind 1A since stepping into the host’s chair in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. She creates a space fostering open dialogue around shifting politics and cultural fault lines — tackling questions that don’t have easy or comfortable answers. We talk to her about the art of civil discourse, the evolution of 1A and the current challenges facing public media.

Guest:

  • Jenn White, host of the NPR program 1A.

Guest:

  • Alessandra Pontbriand, sportscaster for WJCT News4JAX.
