The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep is Broken and How to Fix It. With Dr. Chris Winter

Chris Winter is a neurologist, sleep specialist, and author of the book, "The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep is Broken and How to Fix It." He explains why we’re a culture of poor sleepers and how we got that way, and includes five things we can do to improve our sleep right now. Spoiler alert: an attitude change might be the best tactic of all.

• Understand how sleep works and the ways in which food, light, and other activities act to help or hurt the process

• Learn why sleeping pills are so often misunderstood and used incorrectly—and how you can achieve your best sleep without them

• Incorporate sleep and napping into your life—whether you are a shift worker, student, or overcommitted parent

• Think outside the box to better understand ways to treat a multitude of

conditions—from insomnia to sleep apnea to restless leg syndrome and circadian sleep disorders

• Wade through the ever-changing sea of sleep technology and understand its value as it relates to your own sleep struggles

 Encore.
