In this episode of the Fitness Stuff (for normal people) podcast, we dive DEEP into the realm of sleep - its importance, the repercussions of neglecting it, and the science-backed solutions to ensure a rejuvenating night's rest. Ever wondered why decision-making feels impaired after a sleepless night? Or why your mood seems unpredictable on those groggy mornings? Discover the short and long-term impacts of inadequate sleep, from cognitive dips to hormonal imbalances. Plus, get insights from compelling research on what you might be missing out on from putting your sleep on the back burner.

The episode isn't just about the problems; it's about solutions. Aligning our lives with our natural circadian rhythms can be a game-changer. We'll discuss how to harness the power of this internal clock and make it work in our favor. From the ideal wake-up routines, daytime habits, to winding down strategies before bed, we guide you on how to optimize each segment of your day. Do you know your chronotype? It's a concept that can revolutionize how you plan your day and when you sleep.

And for those seeking tangible action items, we discuss affordable tools, habits, and even supplements that can elevate your sleep game. Remember, it's not always about the quantity of sleep but the quality.
