Episode 126: Let Sleep Happen: Understanding Natural Sleep and Shift Work Challenges
Description
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m so tired, but I just can’t sleep,” this episode is for you.
In this conversation, I’m joined by Rosemary Clancy, Clinical Psychologist and sleep specialist, to explore what’s really behind sleepless nights—and why waking during the night might not be a problem at all.
Rosemary is the author of Unlearning Insomnia & Sleep Medication Dependence, and the director of LetSleepHappen.com.au. She treats sleep issues including insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, COMISA, and sleep medication overuse using CBT, ACT, and mindfulness.
We chat about:
Why 8 hours of unbroken sleep isn’t always realistic
