Podcasts about sleep health

I’m so excited to bring you this wonderful interview with Mr. Chu Zhu. He is the founder of a company called Somnus Lab, and they make an amazing mattress cooling sleep system to help you regulate your body temperature during sleep. Chu is a scientifically sophisticated guest who explains some fascinating aspects of circadian rhythm and the hormonal processes governing sleep, including the role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus—the “light control tower” in the brain—and the buildup of adenosine that creates sleep pressure. We talk about why outdoor light is such a powerful signal for your body clock, why indoor lighting doesn't come close to matching it, and how caffeine masks the buildup of adenosine rather than eliminating your need for sleep. We then get into the surprising role of body temperature. You need to cool down to fall asleep, stay cool to stay asleep, and warm up to wake up. Chu explains the surprising reason a warm shower before bed can actually help lower your core temperature, why getting too cold can backfire, and why temperature regulation becomes increasingly challenging as we age. I’ve also been beta testing the Somnus system myself, so we talk about how it can automatically regulate the temperature of your mattress throughout the night, customize each side of the bed, and track sleep without requiring you to wear a device. And if you’re someone who loves your sleep-tracking data, we have an important conversation about why more data isn't necessarily better. This episode will make you think differently about what you're doing to get better sleep: we get into the technology, but also the general behaviors that can help us get things right—including the effects of caffeine and alcohol, how sensitive the body is, and how sometimes we can simply get out of the way. It’s a great reminder that getting better sleep and better health may be less complicated than we think. TIMESTAMPS: Chu discovered some surprising things when he got in to the sleep system technology research. [04:40] Circadian rhythm is very important in regulating how we use sleeping time. [05:49] The hypothalamus is the control center of the brain that receives the light and dark cycles governing our sleep cycles. [07:33] Caffeine is able to take the spot of the brain's receptor that is supposed to take in adensoine to tell you if you are tired. [08:30] If we look at the evolutionary timelline, we see how the sunset and sunrise used to determine our sleep patterns, whereas now we have the lights and screens that don't allow these mechanisms to work naturally. [11:23] Also the access to processed foods and sugars, the empty calories are causing problems nowadays. The difference between direct sunlight and the indoor blue light we are exposed to also makes a big difference. [12:16] Every system in human body has a mechanism to pull it one way and the other way to push it so that you basically have a two-directional regulation system almost in every aspect. [16:35] So the important thing to do in the morning is awaken naturally near sunrise and get some direct esxposure to light, and then know that in the evening is where most of the problems happen. [17:35] Wearing blue screening glasses during the day is completely wrong. [19:16] Body temperature and environmental temperature are very important parts of the ability to fall asleep. [21:23] You need to cool down to fall asleep and you need to stay cool to stay asleep. You need to warm up to wake up. [23:31] Take a warm shower which allows the body temperature to drop and then bed covers or pajamas keep your skin at a comfortable temperature, but it is really important to have the room or the mattress temperature promoting a drop in body temp. [28:13] There are four sleep stages: preparation to sleep, deep sleep, then REM sleep and waking up stage. [32:37] How do you determine whether you're getting these factors dialed in? Is it as simple as waking up and feeling alert and energized? [34:48] The Somnus sleep system is simply a mattress cover like the protective cover you have on your mattress, that is filled with water that creates a cool sleeping environment. [37:27] How does this Somnus monitor your sleep so that you have sleep data? [50:07] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

In this episode, Dr. Angela Andrews sits down with Dr. John of Thrive Family Health to discuss why men's mental health is frequently overlooked, how to recognize the warning signs, and why addressing the root cause—not just the symptoms—is essential.Together, they explore the many factors that can contribute to depression, including chronic stress, poor sleep, trauma, substance use, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and social isolation. They also discuss why self-diagnosing through the internet often delays proper treatment and how a trusted relationship with a primary care physician can help uncover what's really going on.The conversation closes with practical advice for men at every stage of adulthood—from building healthy habits in your 20s to preserving muscle, staying active, keeping up with preventive screenings, and protecting heart health later in life.What You'll LearnWhy depression often looks different in men than in womenCommon warning signs that are easy to overlookMedical and lifestyle conditions that can mimic or contribute to depressionThe connection between sleep, stress, hormones, and mental healthWhen ADHD, anxiety, or bipolar disorder should be consideredWhy professional evaluation is better than self-diagnosisThe importance of purpose, relationships, and spiritual healthPractical preventive health advice for men in their 20s, 40s, and beyondKey TakeawaysDepression in men often presents as irritability, withdrawal, fatigue, or decreased performance rather than sadness.Mental health symptoms deserve a thorough evaluation to identify underlying causes.Sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management, and social connection are powerful tools for improving mental wellbeing.Therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination may all play important roles in treatment.Preventive care becomes increasingly important with age, especially for maintaining muscle mass, cardiovascular health, and recommended cancer screenings.Having an ongoing relationship with a trusted primary care physician leads to earlier detection and better long-term health.Episode Chapters00:00 Men's Health Focus00:51 Hidden Depression Signs01:35 Looking Beyond the Symptoms02:41 Sleep, Stress & Self-Medication03:37 Irritability, Withdrawal & Burnout04:41 ADHD, Anxiety & Mental Health Overlap06:15 Getting Help: Therapy, Medication & Lifestyle09:46 Faith, Purpose & Connection11:01 Men's Health Advice by Age13:10 Connect with Dr. John14:08 Podcast Outro & Medical DisclaimerGuest ResourcesDr. John Italiano, DOFounder, Thrive Family Health Direct Primary Care

Have you ever cursed your luck at having a partner who snores, or spends the whole night tossing and turning in bed? It can be tempting to consider abandoning them to go and sleep on the sofa instead. Evidence suggests that sleeping next to someone does indeed have a pretty significant impact on adults' sleep, whether that's a partner, family member or even a pet. Researchers from the University of Arizona looked into the matter, and published the results of their study in Sleep journal in June 2022, under the title Bed Sharing Versus Sleeping Alone Associated with Sleep Health and Mental Health.  Was it a positive impact? And what if my partner snores loudly or wakes up suddenly during the night? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

If you like to take a short nap during the day you might be doing your brain a favor. According to a study published in the journal Sleep Health in June of 2023, people who have a genetic predisposition to napping regularly have larger brain volumes than those who don't. This suggests that napping may protect against brain shrinkage, which occurs faster in people with cognitive problems and neurodegenerative diseases. But before you rush to your bed or couch, there are some caveats to consider. What did the study find? How does napping protect against brain shrinkage? What are the optimal conditions for a nap?

If you've been feeling constantly exhausted, burned out, or mentally drained, even after you've caught up on sleep…this episode is for you. Because sometimes we're tired in ways sleep alone can't fix. Today's truth-bomb: sleep and rest are not the same thing. And most chronically drained people are missing the kind of rest that would actually restore them. In today's quickie, we're breaking down the 4 types of fatigue that could be draining your energy — and why most people are trying to fix the wrong problem. This will help you identify why you're so tired all the time, and what actually works to feel better. Backed by research, fatigue is a multidimensional experience, and until you address the specific type of exhaustion you're experiencing, no amount of sleep, coffee, or productivity hacks will fix it. Tune in to hear about: The 4 main types of fatigue: physical, cognitive (mental overload), emotional, and existential Why doomscrolling, screen time, and constant stimulation are worsening your exhaustion Active vs passive mental fatigue (and why both leave you drained) How people-pleasing and unreciprocated emotional labor lead to deep exhaustion Why you need to close those “open mental tabs” with monotasking How to reduce digital overload and give your brain real rest Why monotasking and closing mental loops can instantly improve focus and energy The power of awe, purpose, and gratitude in reversing existential burnout For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

We begin with a story that revolves around a young boy getting the biggest basement bedroom in his family's new house. He's excited about it until he's not. Then comes the story of a child seeing something under her bed that terrifies her. Was it just in her imagination? If so, then why decades later, did something else happens that makes her question what she saw as a kid? Next up, some a young man receives a call and a voicemail from his deceased aunt. Then, we hear a tale about the 666 Bridge in Pennsylvania. Lastly, to soften it all up, a quick confirmation tale.  Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Have you heard?!

Click to Text Thoughts on Today's EpisodeIf you've ever stared at the ceiling at 3 AM wondering why your brain won't shut off, this episode is for you. Therapist and sleep specialist Kathleen Saucier joins the Graced Health Podcast to break down CBTI — the evidence-based method that outperforms sleep medication and is recommended as a frontline treatment even for sleep apnea. From why lying in bed too long is actually making things worse, to the simple cognitive shift that can rewire how your brain approaches sleep, Kathleen makes the science approachable and the solutions actionable. If you've accepted poor sleep as just part of life — especially through the hormonal changes of midlife — this conversation might change everything. Kathleen is a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience in community mental health, trauma, domestic violence, military and first responder support, and substance use treatment. She is also trained in equine-assisted therapy and CBTI, and completed her CBTI certification at the University of Pennsylvania under Dr. Perlis, one of the leading experts in the field. Kathleen currently practices via MD Live and Amwell and is licensed in Connecticut, Florida, Washington, and Oregon.Main Points Discussed:What is CBTI?The Three Types of Insomnia Stimulus ControlSleep Restriction & Sleep Compression The "Swiss Cheese Sleep" Problem The Cognitive Piece: What Are You Telling Yourself? Relaxation Strategies Sleep Hygiene Hot Flashes & Menopause Do You Need a Therapist? Connect with KathleenMD LiveAmwellLinks MentionedCBT-i Coach AppMindfulness Coach AppInsomnia Coach AppEpisodes MentionedMeditation Myths Busted: A Guide to Everyday Mindfulness with Ann SwansonMy latest recommended ways to nourish and move your body, mind and spirit: Nourished Notes Bi-Weekly Newsletter30+ Non-Gym Ways to Improve Your Health (free download)Connect with Amy: GracedHealth.com Instagram: @GracedHealthYouTube: @AmyConnell

Your future is not determined by one dramatic decision or change. Your future is built quietly, habit by habit, in the choices you make every single day. If that idea both excites and unsettles you, this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries is exactly what you need to hear.Host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Allison McCune Davis, author and natural health educator, for a rich conversation about what it truly takes to live long and live well. From healing her own body in her forties to completing a 75-day challenge at 60, Allison shares her three-pillar framework of body work, brain work, and world work and why longevity habits, purpose in life, and community/connection are just as essential as what you eat or how much you sleep.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How Allison's three-pillar framework of body work, brain work, and world work provides a practical roadmap for building longevity habits at any age.✅ Why muscle health, protein intake, hydration, and sleep health are among the most powerful tools for healthy aging and sustained energy.✅ How journaling, meditation, decluttering, and creative expression support mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness in ways that directly impact longevity.✅ Why purpose in life and community connection are scientifically linked to how long and how well we live, and how to find or reclaim both when life shifts.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

Send a textWellness is a word we hear all the time—but what does it actually mean when life is complicated, busy, and sometimes overwhelming? In this milestone 200th episode, I explore the idea that living well isn't about perfection or rigid routines, but about the small choices we make every day that quietly shape our health, our relationships, and the direction of our lives. I invite you to reflect on the emotions you're choosing from, the responsibilities you're carrying, and the possibility that wellness might be closer than you think. If you've ever wondered how to care for yourself while managing a full and demanding life, this conversation might open a new perspective on what it truly means to live well.Quotes of the Week“Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing.” — Zeno “The part can never be well unless the whole is well.” — Plato CitationsCohen, S., Janicki-Deverts, D., & Miller, G.

“We can't sleep for them, but we can support and set the stage for healthy sleep”. Guest Nicole Shallow, M.Ed., BCBA joins the show to talk about supporting sleep through a compassionate, neuroaffirming, science-based lens. Nicole works with families whose autistic children struggle with falling asleep, bedtime resistance, night waking, or inconsistent sleep schedules—helping parents understand where to begin when exhaustion and overwhelm have taken over.We discuss what makes someone a good candidate for sleep coaching and how behavior analysts can look beyond behavior alone by considering factors like diet, medical needs, and overall wellness. Nicole walks us through how she supports families with clear start dates, meaningful data collection, and recommendations tailored to each child's unique sleep profile.Nicole also shares five core sleep support tips that families and clinicians can start using right away:Consistent Wake TimeSleeping in can make nights harder. Work toward steady morning wake times to anchor the day.Diet & NutritionSupport families in creating a more balanced diet and identify barriers that may be impacting sleep quality.Bedtime Resistance & ConnectionPrioritize connection and co-regulation—offer fully present, attuned attention in the hour before bedtime.Outdoor Time & Daylight ExposureDaylight helps regulate circadian rhythm. Brainstorm safe ways to increase outdoor time.Medical ConsiderationsRule out medical issues that could be impacting sleep. A doctor's perspective can bring clarity and direction.For BCBAs interested in becoming more confident in sleep support, Nicole offers a Sleep Certification Program every February and September.

Super Bowl Champion and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen joins the conversation to discuss a critical health issue that impacts lives both on and off the field — sleep apnea. He recounts the pivotal moment that changed everything: a season marked by significant weight loss, declining mood, and reduced performance, culminating in a candid call from his father that prompted an at-home sleep study. The results were alarming, ten hours in bed yielding only eighty minutes of restorative sleep, with over fifty apnea events per hour. Initiating CPAP therapy not only revived his professional career but, more importantly, saved his life.SHOWNOTES:
