LZ Granderson: You were raised by a single mother, you and your brother, who often wouldn't eat to put food on the table for you. LZ: She was very protective of us and didn't tell us that we were in any way disadvantaged. But one of the things that you know we didn't get is visits to the doctor. And so she had to figure out what to do to treat us herself. He says he benefited from both great public schools and great private education as I was educated with lots of financial aid.

Dr. Gina Poe has spent nearly four decades studying the science of sleep, and how we can all get a better night’s rest by making some simple changes in our lives. In this episode Poe dives deep into what she’s learned about sleep during her career, including the stages of sleep, why you’re waking up in the middle of the night, why some people remember their dreams, the best bedtime routines, and the real-life consequences when you miss a night’s sleep. Dr. Poe is a professor of Integrative Biology and Physiology at UCLA, where she is also the Director of the school’s Sleep and Memory Laboratory, which investigates the mechanisms by which sleep traits serve learning and memory consolidation.
