Around 80% of the world is now struggling with sleep, but what if we’ve been trying to fix the wrong problem? For years, we’ve been told that poor sleep comes down to our habits, routines and discipline... But Stasha Gominak believes there is a much deeper conversation we need to have about what is happening inside our bodies. Stasha is a Harvard-trained neurologist who spent more than a decade researching sleep after noticing patterns in thousands of patients. She left traditional medicine because she wanted more time to understand the experiences people were having and the questions that weren’t being answered. During our conversation, she shared why she believes listening to patients changed the way she understood sleep, health and the human body. We discussed things like: - Millions of people sleeping enough hours but still feeling exhausted. - The hidden role REM sleep plays in how we think, feel and function. - A surprising link between vitamin D, gut health and sleep. - The relationship between sleep, memory and emotional health. The relationship between sleep, memory and emotional health. - Mistakes people make when trying to fix their sleep. Stasha's whole point is that sleep isn't about hours in bed - it's about what's actually happening in your brain and body while you're asleep. If you’ve been doing "everything right" and you’re still waking up exhausted you will take a lot from this conversation. Out now on all platforms. Let me know what you think of this one in the comments ❤️👊🏾
