INSIGHT

Stage 3-4 Sleep Is Beauty Sleep

Beauty sleep primarily happens during stage three and four, which is when physical restoration occurs.
Growth hormone secretion and cellular repair make this the true "beauty sleep" phase.

ADVICE

Wake Up Consistently Daily

Keep a consistent wake-up time every day, even on weekends, to reduce your total sleep need.
Consistency helps regulate your body clock and improve sleep efficiency.

INSIGHT

Sleep Cycles Last 90 Minutes

A full sleep cycle is about 90 minutes and cycles through stages 1-4 plus REM.
Early night sleep has more deep stages, late night more REM sleep.

Is beauty sleep real? How long should you really be sleeping? Plus a warning about melatonin. We're answering all of your most-asked sleep questions today on the show with The Sleep Doctor himself. Dr. Michael Breus is a Clinical Psychologist, a Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, and a Fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. He specializes in sleep disorders and is one of the only psychologists in the world with his credentials and distinction. Dr. Breus has authored a number of books, tours the world lecturing on sleep, has appeared on CNN, Oprah, and The View, and is also on the clinical advisory board of The Dr. Oz Show. Dr. Breus has a private practice in LA where he helps his clients figure out how to sleep better, which is his main mission in life. We met Dr. Breus at an event for the launch of Mighty Night, a new supplement from HUM Nutrition that encourages more restful sleep and promotes healthier-looking skin. The event was the most engaged we'd ever seen an audience; he had a line out the door after his presentation. Clearly, getting good sleep is something people desperately want to know more about. We wanted him on the show to bring this information to you. Learn more about your Sleep Chronotype at ChronoQuiz.com. (For the record, Kirbie is a bear 🐻and Sara is a dolphin 🐬. Go figure.)
