Sleep is something we all do every night… but how many of us actually understand what’s happening while we’re asleep?
In this episode, I sit down with brain health expert Dr. Wes Center to talk about what the brain is actually doing while we sleep, why dreams happen, why some people wake up exhausted after eight hours, and what “sleep debt” really means.
We also get into some topics that I think are going to surprise a lot of people, like why Dr. Wes isn’t a fan of taking melatonin by itself (especially for kids), what your phone is doing to your sleep, why exercise changes how much sleep you need, and why your brain is actually busier while you’re asleep than when you’re awake.
There were a bunch of moments in this conversation where I found myself stopping and thinking, “Wait… I had no idea.” If you’ve ever struggled with sleep, felt tired all the time, or just wanted to understand your brain a little better, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.
Sleep might be the most underrated tool we have for our health, and after this conversation, I don’t think I’ll look at it the same way again.
