rem sleep

A few weeks back I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, the Higher Side Chat. This particular episode centered around dreams, one of my lifelong favorite topics, and the guest is my honored guest today. His name is Daniel Rekshan and if you read his resume on INDEED, you might overlook half of his genius, at least. With a bachelors' from St. John's, a Master's in East-West Psych from California Institute of Integral Studies, he's a certified hypnotherapist, but then things get truly interesting. He is an artist. He has a certificate in quantum healing, is chief dream officer of DreamWell and finally, he is deeply involved with DSETI. (Dream Study/Search for ET Intelligence)

I'm grateful to have him on the show today.

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.

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

Sleep. It's one of the key factors that determines how we feel and perform. And let me tell you- and I learned the hard way- I do not skimp on my sleep any more!

In this short episode, I talk about how and why I track my sleep, the function of sleep, and how you can optimize your sleep and feel your best. I leave you with some tips that you can put into action today.

Join me for an exploration of sleep, which I hope inspires you to take on Sober October! If you are entering the days of perimenopause, like I am, you will definitely want to tune in. I definitely want to minimize the number of nights I find myself awake at 3 am, and I have learned what steps to take to so that my body functions how I want it to. You can, too! It may not always be the advice we want to hear (I love a glass of wine with dinner!) but you will thank yourself when you wake up refreshed at the proper time in the morning.

In this episode we talk about our wins and struggles over the past week, and we answer questions from you, the listeners. 

Questions:

Question #1: I’m wearing a sleep tracker that shows my quality of sleep and tells me how many minutes I’m in each stage. What is the optimal amount of REM and Deep Sleep I should be getting?

• How to use trackers, look at long term averages, look at what changes you make do to those averages, gold juice/Mello/brain.fm
• D: Deep 50m, 2h, in bed 8h42m, sleep 7h18m
• J: Deep 1h30m, 56m, in bed 8h20m, sleep 6h50m

Question #2: How important is stretching? What’s the minimal effective dose?

• Difference between flexibility and mobility, frequency is king, if you don’t use it you lose it, fascia, 
• Watch this video explaining fascia!

And this one

Question #3: A common question with summer coming up, people traveling, more kids sports tourneys and more on the go… we’ve been asking our clients to hit their protein goals and a common question has been for some easy on the go protein ideas. 

• Hard boiled eggs, beef/turkey jerky, almonds, Jamie’s list of favorite protein rich foods, 
• Protein bars: Last resort but our recommendations are Epic, Aloha, and Bulletproof collagen bars.

March is Sleep Awareness Month. Who knew? Our new favorite sleep expert knew! Morgan Adams is a holistic sleep coach for women, whose clients refer to her as their "sleep soulmate". Poor sleep is one of the major complaints we hear from women in midlife, and Morgan offers us potential solutions that are easy to implement and won't cost you a dime. If you're like us, you have tried everything to get the kind of sleep you got in your youth, so it's well worth listening to Morgan talk about the difference between natural sleep and the kind you get when you take a sleeping pill, how what you eat and when you eat it can affect your sleep, and how that glass of wine that makes you feel tired is actually detrimental to your sleep quality. We also discuss our most recurring anxiety dreams, confusing a bottle of vitamins for a glass of water, and our brand new Tik Tok account. (Do not take an Ambien before listening to this episode.)

We know that sleep is very important, but think huge changes are needed to enhance sleep.  However, with a few small manageable changes, we can dramatically improve our sleep, without compromising on our lifestyle.
In today's episode we look at the basic science of sleep and outline 6 ways to get a better sleep. Through these we can identify the 2-3 tips that work best in our current context.       
For the science of sleep, we've referred to the work done by Mathew Walker. We feel his book, podcasts, videos, TED Talk, and masterclass are the best resource to all things sleep related.
