Description

Suffering from anxiety, weight gain, or brain fog? Poor sleep could be causing your biggest health issues — and your kids are just as vulnerable.

 In this episode, Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown, board-certified sleep physician and author of Beyond Tired: A Sleep Physician’s Guide to Solving Your Child’s Sleep Problems for Good, explains how sleep impacts our mood, hormones and long-term health. From unhealthy food cravings to hyperactivity in your kids, she shares surprising signs of poor sleep and how we can start to address them.

 Dr. Brown also tackles some of the most common questions and misconceptions about sleep: Can you really “catch up” on sleep during the weekend? Is it worth waking up early to exercise if it means less rest? Does that nightly glass of wine help (or hurt) your sleep?

 Whether it’s insomnia, sleep apnea, or bedwetting, tune in for practical, science-backed tips to get a better night’s rest!
