#sleep

I discuss, living and dealing with alcoholics. That always having to care for an addict gets exhausting. Even when you love them very much, it's still tiresome. I discuss how, taking care of yourself is important. You can't take care of others if you don't care for yourself. This is not something wise or new. Everybody knows this. But it's true! We need to actually do it. I discuss trying to put myself first.  Yet, I end up feeling so guilty. I discussed moving to a red state to get out of the crazy left-wing state of Oregon. I discuss the political ramifications of living in a liberal state.

In today's episode of the Dr. Sex Fairy Podcast we shine a spotlight on a topic that affects us all but is rarely talked about in the same breath as sexual health: sleep. Prepare to have your mind opened to the profound impact sleep has on your libido and sexual function, and general health, and how, in turn, a healthy sex life can lead to more restful sleep.  This episode is part of our Six Minutes On Sex series. Consider it a podcast quickie.

Addiction is no joke. Homelessness is no joke. That's someone's child, parent, spouse, friend, etc.  To call an addict and/or homeless person a, "loser," is wrong, in my opinion. Addicts come from all backgrounds, are all shapes and colors. Addiction has no preference. No type. I don't think people WANT to be addicts. Wasn't a choice. They aren't losers. They are human beings that have a disease and need help. My heart breaks for those with no support. People that look down on those that are homeless or addicts, bother me. 
I also discuss parenting. How sick I am of people blaming parents for their grown, adult sons/daughters that get in to trouble. Nature versus nature. Or is it both? You can do all the "right" things as a parent, yet still have a kid that gets in to trouble. And be worst parent but have a son that turns out great. 
What's keeping me up? The self righteous, sitting on their high horses. Peering down at you, judging your parenting skills. The homeless, addicts and our veterans. Phew...that was long winded! 

In this insightful episode we'll explores the intricacies of achieving a restful night's sleep through a comprehensive breakdown of essential elements for optimal rest. Join Marci as she guides you through each segment, offering practical tips and valuable insights to transform your nightly routine.

1 - Nighttime Routines to Wind Down
Discover the importance of creating a soothing bedtime routine to signal to your body that it's time to wind down. Uncover practical strategies such as dimming lights an hour before bed, engaging in relaxing activities like reading or gentle stretching, and avoiding stimulating inputs that can disrupt your transition into sleep.

2 - Understanding Sleep Cycles 
Delve into the fascinating world of sleep cycles, the recurring patterns vital for overall well-being. Learn about the four stages, including REM sleep, and understand why missing a complete cycle can impact your restorative sleep. The key takeaway: consistency is paramount, so establish a regular sleep schedule for optimal sleep benefits.

3 - Consequences of Missing Sleep Cycles
Explore the potential repercussions of missing out on essential sleep cycles. From decreased cognitive function to mood swings and increased susceptibility to illness, discover why each sleep cycle plays a crucial role in the body's repair and regeneration process.

4 - Mindset Methods for Better Sleep 
Unlock the power of mindset in the quest for better sleep. Learn practical mindfulness techniques to cultivate a positive mental space. A relaxed mind paves the way for a more restful night's sleep.

5 - Body Relaxation Methods

Let's use our words. Is it possible for people to form coherent sentences any more? Biden and his administration babble. They speak jibberish. And the far left scream. They literally scream at top of their lungs. Yet none seem to be capable of talking. Of having a respectful, calm, educated, coherent conversation? When citizens aren't yelling, they're setting things on fire, stealing and breaking windows. How does this help your cause? How does this change the world? What's been keeping me up? Hypocrisy, poor communication and ignorance. 

What's preventing me from counting sheep? Pride parades! Pride parades, gender parades, African American and Latino parades. Everywhere I look, some group of people are causing back ups on our streets so they can draw attention to themselves. So they can claim they, "just want to be LEFT ALONE, darn it!" All while making a mockery of themselves. While doing anything BUT staying out of spotlight. Hypocrisy at its finest. Sick of the parades and months of the year dedicated to groups of people. It promotes segregation, prejudice and racism. Narcissistic behavior is running rampant. 

This episode is jam-packed with healthy habits for healthy skin.  We chat about the absolute bare minimum in skincare. Build on this foundation according to your skin demands. The secret to skincare is consistency! Yvette shares products and other valuable tips!  

1.  Hydration.
2.  Sun Protection.
3.  P.H. Balanced Cleanser.
4.  Moisturizer.
5.  Dietary Lifestyle.
6. Sleep.
7. Movement. 
* Peri-menopause
* Bearded Men. 
*Products mentioned are part of my aging well journey. I'm not supported nor affiliated with any manufacturer of product shared on this or any other episode.  

Be well & Happy!

A holiday is when someone is free to do what they want, such as travel or relax. That's according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

The problem with teenagers, is that what they want to do for several weeks over summer - such as sleep or use their electronic devices all day - may not fit with what we think they should be doing.

Also, having them around, doing what they want, may not be very relaxing for others who're also on holiday, or trying to work.

So how do we survive the school holidays in a way that leaves us, and our relationships, unscathed?

Top tip: lower your expectations of yourself and them for at least the first two weeks, and avoid comparisons with other families.

Do you know how crucial sleep is for your teenager's health, mental well-being, and overall success?
Discover the vital role of sleep in adolescents as I sit down with seasoned journalist, book author, and public speaker Lisa Lewis, who shares her personal journey and passion for advocating for teen mental health and the importance of sleep.

My guest was instrumental in CA's legislation on regulating school start times and is the author of the New York Times reviewed book "The Sleep-Deprived Teen".

Lisa and I discuss the biological shift in circadian rhythms during puberty and explore the challenges posed by early school start times for our teens to get the recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night.

We dive deep into the impact of sleep deprivation on various aspects of our teens' lives, including
1. mental health,
2.learning, and
3.technology management.

We traverse through the lack of sleep and its link to increased anger, emotional regulation difficulties, and even suicidal tendencies.
Lisa provides valuable expertise and insight on this crucial topic, making this episode essential listening for parents, educators, and everyone concerned about teen well-being.

Puberty, hormonal changes, sleep and menstrual cycle are all focus areas in this enlightening discussion.

As takeaways,  we discuss strategies for success and creating a healthy balance between technology and our lives, as well as the importance of prioritizing sleep for our teenagers and society as a whole.

Don't miss this engaging and informative episode, where we examine the critical role of sleep in the development and well-being of our teenagers, as well as the steps we can take to ensure they get the rest they need for a thriving future.

Every listener can appreciate the takeaways for not just teens, but for adults and our very young and growing minds alike! Remember, my goal is to offer solutions to real world issues and essentially sleep, mental health are great pillars to a sustainable living!

Everything seems better when we've had enough sleep; our mood is more stable, our response times are faster, we can control our impulses more easily, and perform tasks more effectively.  For teenagers, who are growing rapidly and whose brains are going through a massive rewiring, that need for sleep is arguably even greater. But how many of us are certain that our teens are getting enough sleep?
 
Can we be sure that their moodiness, lack of attention, impulsiveness or poor grades are really a result of teenage hormones? Could they be caused by a chronic sleep deficit? In this episode we look at how much sleep our teens should be getting, how we can support them in reaching that goal, and the one tip for helping them to shift their sleep window.
