Podcasts about sleep matters

In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Mini-Podcast, I answer questions from the listeners with my trusty podcast producer, Tony.  We discuss why sleep matters for fat loss, when it makes sense to focus on cardio for fat loss, the sweet spot for charging for personal training as it relates to client consistency, why sprinting and deadlifting have more in common than most people think, and more.  I also tell the story about almost getting fired on day 3 of a new job, what it means to "let someone cook" in brazilian jiu jitsu, and how your expectations change how you feel about pain.  Check out my podcast with Mike Vacanti - How To Become A Personal Trainer .

You'll also hear how milkweed is connected to the Monarch butterfly and how Ogallala is using it to make an impact in underprivileged communities and save the Monarch butterfly.  We talk about the importance of not just designing a beautiful bed and bedroom space, but how a great design also means a great night's sleep and how the bedding you choose can elevate your clients sleep experience tremendously. You'll also learn what sets Ogallala's bedding apart and what things to look for when you are sourcing bedding for your clients.  Debbie and the team at Ogallala love to work with designers to customize bedding solutions for their clients unique needs and to make sure their bedding looks and feels luxurious, and they are known for their fairly quick turnaround times in order to accommodate designers and their project deadlines and customizations.  Thank you for tuning into this episode!

Find out why I have put off publishing this podcast and why... "Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together." — Thomas DekkerI believe that our bodies are constantly trying to tell us how to take care of it.  Because it doesn't have a voice, we have symptoms AND because we aren't really good at consistently listening to what our symptoms are trying to tell us they tend to get "louder and louder" the longer we ignore them.  In addition, not getting enough sleep can be down right dangerous.Here are 6 reasons why you should get 7-9 hours of sleep a night:1. Mental- Getting enough sleep improves cognition, concentration and productivity.2. Emotional - Lack of sleep = lack of ability to regulate your emotions and interact socially. 3. Weight - sufficient sleep helps with maintaining a healthy weight and even weight loss. 4. Decreases inflammation -sleep combats chronic disease5. Boosts immune system - fight off infection and viruses better6. Muscles - sleep helps muscles heal and grow.Here are 8 things you can do to get better sleep:1. Choose to make it a priority.2. Make your bedroom a sleep sanctuary.3. Exercise regularly. 4. Do things that relieve tension and stress.Yogaa few stretches right before trying to fall asleeplisten to calming music, sleep tracks or a calming audiobookjournal/thought dumphave a piece of paper by your bed to jot down thoughts that pop up5. Avoid sugar, caffeine and alcohol before bed6. Consult a professional about safe things you can take to aid you in sleep7.

Why is sleep so important? What effect can a lack of sleep have on your mental and physical health? Can caffeine really affect your sleep that much? What can you do when sleep is hard to come by? These are the type of areas around sleep that we delve into with Matt Philips this week. For over ten years, Matt was part of a multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, sports therapists, osteopaths, podiatrists and massage therapists. In witnessing the coming & going of many misconceptions within the Running Industry, Matt decided through his website www.runchatlive.com to try and help both runners and therapists evolve from outdated ideas and embrace a more evidence-based approach to running injury prevention & management. Matt has written for numerous websites & running magazines including Runners Connect & Outdoor Fitness. Matt currently offers specialist online consultation for runners & non runners struggling to achieve results. The ‘Sports Therapy Association Podcast‘ is recorded live every Tuesday at 8pm (UK time) via YouTube then upoaded to all podcast podcast apps. Matt is not a sleep specialist but has suffered from insomnia and sleep deprivation for years. Keen to understand more this year he underwent a sleep study. Modern sleep research is now far more equipped at measuring the effect of poor sleep quantity & quality, and the results are pretty shocking as Matt Philips, has found. Join us as we discuss many of the answers to the questions posed above and explore just why sleep matters. Find out more about the studies and researchers discussed via MAtt's month-long podcast series around sleep here: https://www.runchatlive.com/sleep-awareness-month-sports-therapy-association-podcast/

This episode is the second episode of a two parter. Part one is episode 18 of the podcast. One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of sleep when it comes to sleep training is a baby's schedule. But timing of sleep is SO important. If your child is not sleeping at the right time of day for their body and needs, sleep training could potentially be a disaster regardless of the level of engagement you choose for your responses. This episode will help you to understand WHY this is the case.

One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of sleep when it comes to sleep training is a baby's schedule. Often the first thought when trying to improve a child's sleep is which sleep training method to use. But, successful sleep training is much more than just figuring out how you will or will not respond to your child at a time for sleep. In this episode, you can expect the following: > brief review of what healthy sleep means or, as I like to call it, "CATRing to your child's age". > brief review of the acronym ESRA+, pronounced ez-ruh-plus. This is a term to help you remember the five main areas to consider when evaluating your child's sleep and creating an effective sleep plan. > description of five circadian rhythms that contribute to sleep development. > list of five major influencers on the circadian rhythms. Aka? Influencers of sleep and timing of sleepl. Note that this episode is only half of the story! This episode will be followed by a part two.

Episode 34. This week I sat down with Dr. Heather Gunn, PhD. Dr. Gunn is an Assistant Professor at University of Alabama and a licensed Clinical Psychologist. In her role, she is engaged in research, teaching, mentoring, and service. Her goal is for individuals to have meaningful and engaging (and autonomy granting!) relationships and to be able to have restful sleep. Away from the office, she enjoys walking phone dates, exercise, baking, reading, and spending time with her husband and son and dog and cat.  What to Expect In This Conversation: We continue the conversation from last week. Make sure you check out Part 1 here. Do you really HAVE to get your phone out of the bedroom? How to promote sleep in kiddos in a flexible wayWhat to do if you and your partner have very different sleep schedule preferencesAnd much more! New to the Podcast and Blog? Welcome! I'm so glad to have you. You might be wondering what this blog and podcast are all about. We relate everything in this podcast back to motivation, but not the hustle and grind kind. Truly sustainable motivation that keeps you feeling energetic and engaged in your life for the long haul. We talk about why “I'm just not motivated” is a myth, and why the TYPE of motivation you have is so important to fully understand. If you are ready to learn about motivation and respecting your body in an effective way so that you can live a life you truly love, you are in the right place.

Being pulled in a million directions, and not really spending your time the way you want to be? There are so many things to do, fires to put out, that self-care behaviors immediately go to the bottom of the list. Then you feel angry and frustrated with yourself and the world, resolve to "be better" and then the cycle starts all over again? I get this, and I still live this. Not in a diet mentality way now, but I still struggle with consistently prioritizing myself over all the other to dos. And yet, I know me doing so allows me to be the very best partner, partner, and do my best work. One of the very first steps in developing truly internal motivation is to clarify what actually matters to you. Not your mom, not your sister, not your best friend, YOU.  The more you reflect on this, the more you can move through your day knowing that even when it's hard to say not, and leave things undone, you are prioritizing your time in the way that's best for YOU. If you've never clarified your values, the time is now. I do it early and often to stay grounded and make sure I'm using the precious time I have in this life in the ways that I wont regret. It's a work in process, but values clarification is something we rarely do and we honestly all need to. And I don't say that about many things. Grab the free guide at DrHondorp.com/goals and get started today. I promise you, it's never too late to stop dieting and start truly living. You will not regret it. Do we really have to take our phones out of the bedroom? Well in short, the answer is no. It's true that focusing on or engaging in something on your phone late at night CAN mask sleepiness, and it's important to be aware of that and try to remain disciplined if it's affecting you negatively. However, you don't NEED to take it out of the bedroom, as phones can also be very useful for sleep. There are TONS of resources like podcasts, meditations, calming sleep sounds,

I know you probably already know that sleep matters for your health, but in this conversation we are going to cover a take on sleep you probably never considered. Heather's area of focus is on sleep and interpersonal relationships, so we are going to cover standard behavioral treatments for sleep, and also how your relationship to people in your life, yourself, and your feelings of psychological safety matter a TON. We had SO much important stuff to cover, that this is Part 1 of a 2 part series. Here's What You Can Expect: How much sleep do we need?
