In this episode, we’re joined by clinical psychologist and sleep specialist Dimitri Gavriloff to discuss why sleep is so vital to our health. We explore how sleep affects mood, focus, and overall wellbeing, and dive into the role of circadian rhythms, especially in children and adolescents.

Key takeaways:

- Everyone has different sleep patterns.
- Kids and teens often struggle with early starts.
- Flexible work can support better sleep routines.
- Sleep trackers can be useful, but not always helpful.
