Sleep is as vital for life as food or water or breathing. But knowing that, knowing the importance

of breathing, it doesn't necessarily give you any tools to improve it. What do you do if you toss and turn? What if you can't to use the bathroom. What if you have shift work and you work through the night

three or four days per week and you have jet leg-like symptoms that you're trying to

manage? On this week's podcast you'll meet a researcher whose work is focused on

understanding and improving sleep homeostasis, how we get back to baseline during

the inevitable disruptions that happen in life. You'll learn why some people don't necessarily operate on the same 24-hour clock.

You'll learn how individuals, some people, adapt really well to irregular work schedules,

while other people will have almost

immediate health problems. You'll learn why sleep patterns change with

aging and what that means for your health, whether you're 15 years old or whether

you're in your late 50s and in the midst of menopause.

The importance of seeing a sleep specialist, if you suspect any problems,

we'll also talk about how you might advocate for yourself.

Lastly, we will talk about Gizmo's Lab Tech versus Subjective Journaling.
