She emphasizes that sleep is a fundamental biological need and if we fall short of it, we need to make it up.<\/p><p><strong>Sleep Deprivation<\/strong>: If we are not able to meet our nightly sleep need, it doesn&#8217;t just dissipate. It can come at undesirable times such as when driving or in safety-critical environments.<\/p><p><strong>Sleep and Nutrition<\/strong>: The discussion also covers the impact of nutrition on sleep. Certain nutrients support sleep while others like caffeine and alcohol can impair it.<\/p><p><strong>Sleep Stages<\/strong>: There are four stages of sleep, each playing a crucial role in our health. The first half of the night is dominated by deep sleep and the second half by rapid eye movement sleep.<\/p><p><strong>Sleep Trackers<\/strong>: Sleep trackers can provide useful data, but they should be used in conjunction with self-awareness about how one feels upon waking up.<\/p><p><strong>Shift Work and Melatonin<\/strong>: For people doing shift work, melatonin might be helpful as it can help adjust the circadian rhythm. However, it&#8217;s not a sleep aid and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider.<\/p><p><strong>Improving Sleep Quality<\/strong>: Dr. Robbins suggests that the mindset around sleep is important. If experiencing difficulties, one should engage in self-talk, get out of bed if unable to sleep, and try exercises like the 4-7-8 breath technique.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this enlightening episode, we dive deep into the world of sleep with Dr. Rebecca Robbins.
