In this episode, we dive deep into the world of sleep with our special guest, Morgan Adams—a transformative, holistic sleep coach and two-time breast cancer survivor. Morgan empowers women to conquer sleepless nights without medication, sharing her personal journey and professional expertise.

In this episode, we cover:

• The most common reasons women struggle with sleep, especially in their late 30s to mid-60s.

• Why good sleep starts the moment you wake up, not just at bedtime.

• The critical role of circadian rhythms and how light exposure impacts your sleep quality.

• Actionable tips for optimizing your light environment—morning sunlight, minimizing artificial light at night, and the truth about blue blockers.

• How to handle waking up at 3:00 AM and what to do when you can't fall back asleep.

• The importance of blood sugar balance and meal timing for restful nights.

• The pros and cons of sleep tracking devices and why tuning into your own body matters.

Top Takeaways:

1. Prioritize early morning light exposure and get outside throughout the day.

2. Reduce bright, artificial light in the evening—think warm bulbs, candles, and dimmers.

3. If you wake up in the middle of the night, try techniques like the "mental walk" or "cognitive shuffle," and consider getting out of bed if you're feeling anxious.

4. Keep your blood sugar stable with balanced meals and avoid eating too close to bedtime.

5. Trust your body's signals—don't let wearable data override your own intuition about rest and recovery.
