Everyday Better with Leah Smart

Your 2025 Physical Reset: Setting the Record Straight on Sleep With Dr. Rebecca Robbins


Listen Later

Everyday Better is kicking off 2025 with a month’s worth of conversations designed to help you reset for the year ahead. Each week, you’ll learn about research-backed techniques to improve your mental, physical, work and relational well-being. No matter what your goals are this year, our 2025 Reset Series will equip you with the tools you need to make measurable, lasting changes in your life.

In our productivity-obsessed world, getting a good night’s rest is probably low on your to-do list. But what would change if you made sleep a priority this year?

Today’s guest Dr. Rebecca Robbins has a clear answer: prioritizing sleep will help you achieve your goals because sleep and performance are linked. Dr. Robbins is a sleep scientist and Assistant Professor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. 

In this conversation, Dr. Robbins debunks some of the most pervasive myths about sleep, including the belief that eight hours is the magic number, that we can catch up on sleep over the weekend and that falling asleep should only take you a few minutes. She also explains the science behind sleep and shares actionable tips for getting a better night’s rest that you can try out yourself tonight.
