how to sleep

In case you missed it, better sleep is the answer to pretty much every adulting quandary we encounter. From our physical health to our mood and mindset, sleep is the elusive key. 

Research shows that the past few decades have seen a notable downward trend in the quality and quantity of sleep that people are getting, so we're throwing it back to this wildly helpful episode on all things sleep. 

We’re clearly not the experts on this (read: sleep-deprived), so we called in Alanna McGinn. Alanna is the founder and lead sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site, host of the ‘This Girl Loves Sleep’ podcast and author of ‘This Baby Loves Sleep’. Alanna and her team of sleep consultants are certified through The Family Sleep Institute and have helped thousands of families around the world overcome their sleep challenges and establish healthy nighttime habits. Alanna is the resident sleep expert for publications like Forbes, Maclean’s and Today’s Parent, and the media sleep expert on Cityline, Breakfast Television, CBC Radio, and more. 

Join us as we chat about:

• The mental and physical impact of sleep deprivation
• Creating a routine that supports healthy sleep
• Why your morning wakeup is actually the most important factor to good sleep
• How to figure out the amount of sleep we really need
• Tricks to optimize our sleep cycles and REM sleep
• The facts on magnesium and natural remedies
• How to catch up on Zzzs after an all-nighter and adjusting to new timezones
• Can we keep napping???
• The secret power of the napuccino

We hope this episode helps you create healthy sleep habits so you can get the quality rest you deserve!
