Description

Quality sleep is the top of the waterfall from which all
of our health flows. Better sleep equals better everything else, and whether you've got waking woes, or you're happy with how you're laying your head, there's simple things we can all do to make tonight's sleep
the best yet. 


My New Years resolution for 2024 was to improve my sleep performance. I use wearable a sleep tracker, a consistent early bed time, blue light blocking glasses, ear plugs, the works and I still have a hard time
getting a true eight hours. 


Fortunately for me and you, today's guest on the Young Blood Experts Series is internationally renowned sleep expert, Professor Michael Gradisar. 


Michael worked for twenty years as a clinical psychologist, directing Adelaide's Child and Adolescent Sleep. These days he helps people treat insomnia and adjust their circadian rhythms online and is the Head of Sleep Science at 'Sleep Cycle'; a one-stop
solution sleep tracker with 50 million users worldwide.

enough, is mouth tape all hype? and are you a good judge of your own sleep quality? Listen all the way through this one to find out all that and more with our sleep guru, Professor Michael Gradisar.
