Episode notes

Women are typically lighter sleepers than men is there a science behind this? I think it's very important for parents from the get go even maybe even before the child is born to start thinking about scheduling. If you don't build in some sort of structure or a schedule to a little baby it doesn't develop a schedule so if you can predict your kid's sleep or quiet times you as a parent can get anything done. You got to be very careful because you're kind of straddling this line of sleep expert doctor and let me tell you how to raise your kids kind of thing.

Have you listened to Part 1 yet? No? Go on, git. Here's a link to it! Go do that.

Now if you have, this Part 2 is a bonanza of problem solving from neurologist and somnologist Dr. W. Chris Winter. He'll cover: if you should be taking sleep supplements or pills, sleep talking, apnea, why sleepiness makes us hungry, narcolepsy, the difference between insomnia and sleep deprivation, how to lucid dream, the dangers of shift work and some tactics to lull yourself to dreamland without any medications. ALSO: I share a family secret: my mom's insomnia buster -- newly dubbed the "Sleepy Fancy Nancy" -- that has literally never failed me.

And I am currently spending time with my family after my dad’s emergency brain surgery a few weeks back, but put a few extra notes and updates on how we’re doing. Thanks for all the thoughts, friends.
