Description

In this episode, Emily and Han discuss the key sleep disrupters in recovery.




These include:


Hunger - which does not discriminate between night and daytime




Exercise addiction / productivity drive  - letting yourself sleep enough is often as tightly bound up with self-punishing defaults as letting yourself eating enough




Heightened anxiety and stress - from the recovery process




Physical effects of being out of energy balance


Digestive problems


Ineffective temperature regulation  


Frequent urination 


Hormonal imbalance 




Meta-stress (stress about the health effects of poor sleep)
