Episode #86 - Interview with Paul Taylor on why leaders need sleep and how to optimise it

In this episode Shelley speaks with, Exercise Physiologist, Nutritionist and Neuroscientist, Paul Taylor, about the effects of poor sleep both at a chronic level as well as an acute level.

Paul shares that it is good quality sleep that allows our brains to rest, get rid of toxins and help with the repair process throughout our body.

When we have poor sleep it increases our levels of cortisol, reduces our desire to be active, makes us crave crap food and reduces our cognitive performance - which is essential for leaders to operate effectively.

This is a conversation you need to listen to, then make changes around, particularly if you’re feeling tired, stressed, burnt out or fatigued. Just getting your body into a good sleep rhythm will have big flow on benefits into all areas of your life.
