These turn off the melatonin faucet in your brain which allows you to kind of clear the brain fog and wake up. The more consistent you are with it, the more your body can expect when to turn off the melatonin faucet. When it turns off the faucet in your head, it sets a timer for roughly 15 hours later to start melatonin.” “You would actually be considered drunk behind the wheel if you get less than 5 1/2 hours just from a reaction time standpoint.”“Sleep is a lot like love: the less you look for it, the more it shows up.” Connect With Dr. Michael BreusWebsite: https://thesleepdoctor.comInstagram (@thesleepdoctor): https://www.instagram.com/thesleepdoctor/Dr. Breus' book: Energize!: Go from Dragging Ass to Kicking It in 30 Days Connect With AGEISTNewsletterInstagramWebsiteLinkedInSay hi to the AGEIST team!

Unlock the Sleep Expert's Secret to Gain 2 Extra Hours Every Day!

We are kicking off season 13 with a book from 2021 that changed my life for the better that I had to revisit and bring to you listeners: Energize: Go from Dragging Ass to Kicking It In 30 Days by Dr. Michael Breus and Stacey Griffith. Dr. Michael Breus is known as “the Sleep Doctor,” and to that end, he writes in the book “to stop feeling so tired and burst with infinite energy all day long, all you have to do is follow the right schedule personalized for your chronotype and body type.” What is a chronotype, and what do you mean by body types? He gets into that in today's episode, and, of course, in the book. Once you have your chronotype and your body type, you get your Power Profile, and from there your Power Protocol, which teaches us the best time to eat, the best time to have sex, the best time to do basically everything to have more energy. This book and this conversation introduces us to five kinds of movement, why getting eight hours of sleep a night might not be accurate, why we shouldn't drink coffee straightaway when we wake up and should instead get 20 minutes of direct sunlight, water, a cold shower, and a stretch, and how long before bed we should cut out alcohol and blue light to get the best sleep possible. I am all about optimization and living my best life, and this book really was a key component of helping me get there. (I'm still a work in progress, by the way.) Dr. Breus is a clinical psychologist and has been in private practice as a sleep doctor for nearly 25 years, and has been on every major media outlet you can think of, from Oprah to Today to Dr. Oz. In addition to Energize—which, of course, is out right now—he's also written other great books, including The Power of When, The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan, and Good Night. By the way, the co-author of Energize is Stacey Griffith, who is a founding instructor at SoulCycle. I can't wait for you to hear this conversation.   Energize: Go from Dragging Ass to Kicking It In 30 Days by Dr. Michael Breus and Stacey Griffith   Sleep, Drink, Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health by Dr. Michael Breus (out in December)   Take the Power Profile quiz!

Our guest, Dr. Michael J. Breus, is a clinical psychologist with more than two decades of experience in the sleep field. As a sleep expert, Dr. Breus advises women going through perimenopause and menopause to establish a regular, consistent sleep schedule to manage the hormonal shifts associated with these transitions. He also recommends deep breathing, hydration, and getting sunlight. "While there is no guidebook for managing menopausal sleep issues, these strategies can help to mitigate some of the symptoms associated with this transition," he says.Dr. Breus stresses the importance of maintaining consistent sleep routines and creating a comfortable sleep environment. He also recommends moderate exercise, avoiding alcohol consumption, and using technology such as temperature-regulating pads. While discipline in sleep routine is crucial, he stresses the importance of acceptance and relaxation, rather than trying to think oneself to sleep or worrying about lack of sleep.Links for this episode:https://thesleepdoctor.com/https://www.facebook.com/thesleepdoctor/https://twitter.com/thesleepdoctor/https://www.instagram.com/thesleepdoctor/https://www.tiktok.com/@thesleepdoctorEpisode Overview (timestamps are approximate):4:05 - How menopause/perimenopause affects your sleep8:21 - Can you “catch up” on sleep?12:00 - How sleep changes around your cycle16:31 - Instituting the daily nap24:09 - When to nap during your cycling27:12 - When to exercise for the best sleep31:28 - Alcohol, dehydration and sleep34:51 - How to use acceptance as a sleep aid39:29 - Why you got to the bathroom during the night46:02 - Should you breathe through your nose or mouth?52:42 - Are you a side, back, or belly sleeper?55:01 - Should you get a “sleep divorce?”1:01:01 - Where to find Dr. BreusWe'd like to thank our sponsors:Athletic Greens - redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy - Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa - Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS - receive 10% off your order with Promo Code "ESTIMA"The DNA  Company - $50 discount using code "DRSTEPHANIE" at checkout.HVMN Ketones - get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations - Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes - A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE - get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty Body
