Episode notes

We're not going to put the 24-7 society back in his bottle. It's a genie that's escaped, but what we can do is think about mitigation. You can make an awful lot of sense to chronotype your workforce. If you're dependent upon an alarm clock or another person to wake you up rather than waking naturally, that's a sign you're not getting enough sleep. Over oversleeping extensively on three days such as the weekend could be one way to unmask more natural sleeping patterns.

Sleep can enhance your creativity, lift your spirits, improve your sense of humor, and amplify your sociability. So why do so many of us struggle to get a good night's rest? Russell Foster, a professor of circadian neuroscience at the University of Oxford, says it's because we've let the frantic drumbeat of modern life drown out the steady tick-tock of our biological clocks. That's the bad news. The good news is that Russell's here to share science-backed tips that will have you catching more z's in no time.

Russell's new book is "Life Time: Your Body Clock and Its Essential Roles in Good Health and Sleep."
