Why You Still Feel Exhausted (Even After 8 Hours of Sleep)
“Why am I tired after sleeping?” You’re doing all the “right” things: going to bed on time, sleeping eight hours, drinking your greens… yet you still wake up tired. In this episode, Functional Medicine Practitioner Nicole Goode explains why exhaustion isn’t just about hours of sleep, it’s about the quality of your rest and the biology behind it.
You’ll learn how your circadian rhythm, hormones, and mitochondria interact while you sleep, and how modern habits like late-night screens, stress, and poor timing quietly disrupt your body’s repair cycles. Sleep better naturally and finally wake up energized, focused, and calm. Because feeling rested isn’t about doing more, it’s about letting your body do what it was designed to do.
