The Women's Running Podcast Ep 6. Am I Nuts... to worry about sleep?
Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the sixth episode in a special series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor.
In this podcast, we wanted to explore some of the things that we’ve talked about on our big podcast – that’s the Women’s Running podcast – that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Hol and I are natural born worriers, but with many of our worries, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts.
So for this series, we’re going to be chatting about the worries that make us feel that way.

Should we worry about sleep?
In this episode we’re mostly worrying about sleep, or lack of it. Lack of sleep can affect all of us at one time or another, for myriad external and
internal reasons. Obviously there’s that time around early parenthood, but also perimenopause, general aging, anxiety and mental health that can affect all of us. But I’ve been getting worried about how insomnia can have a more long-term effect on our physical health. We talk about the risks of lack of sleep, but also oversleeping, occasional sleep deprivation, strategies for overcoming occasional insomnia. Are we nuts?
