Nothing beats a good cup of coffee, but nothing also beats a good night's sleep. With the switch back to standard time right around the corner, our bodies will once again feel the disorientation of the 1 hour shift. The sun will rise and set earlier, and maybe it's time we move with the light instead of trying to ignore nature's clock. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Elizabeth Klerman, a professor of neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. They break down the dos and don'ts of sleep, how to take advantage of the time change to catch some extra zzz's, and how it's important to actually listen to your body when it's telling you something. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

So today, I'm going to share a few of the most common baby sleep habits that I reassure parents about every day - hopefully you'll hear one you've been worrying about, and have something to finally release!Loved this episode?

Send us a textHello and welcome to our show. In this juicy, eyebrow-raising episode, we dive into how Gen Z is trying to make “on-again, off-again” sex a normalized thing—and not everyone's on board. We also tackle a hot question: what's the ideal number of sexual partners before it gets “socially weird”? Then things shift to the softer side—like, which side of the bed do you sleep on, and how did that become a silent, unspoken rule in your relationship?From sexy topics to sandal-shaming—yep, some women are not okay with guys in flip-flops—and we finish strong with the surprising foods that give your skin a natural glow (no sunburn required). It's weird. It's funny. It might make you rethink your side of the bed and your snack choices. Don't forget you can text us or leav e us a message on Speakpipe.

In this episode, Gina and sleep expert Alanna McGinn get real about why managing stress is non-negotiable if you want to improve your sleep. They start by calling out the myth that a perfect bedtime routine is all you need—because if you're running on high stress, your body won't let you rest, no matter how peaceful your bedroom is. Alanna explains how hidden stressors can show up as poor sleep, low motivation, or feeling “off” even when things seem fine. From daily noise and social media overload to intense workouts and strained relationships, she paints a clear picture of how stress adds up. Alanna also shares her “stress bucket” analogy, highlights her top three stress-busting tools, and walks through a practical bedtime routine that actually helps. The message? You don't have to overhaul your life—just start with one thing.
