Sleep Essentials: How to Create the Perfect Sleep Environment
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff explores how to transform your bedroom into a true sleep sanctuary — a space that signals safety, softness, and rest. Drawing on both ancient traditions and modern sleep science, he explains how light, temperature, scent, sound, and even clutter shape the nervous system and influence how deeply we sleep.

Jeff also shares simple ways to shield yourself from modern sleep disruptors like artificial light, noise, and screens, and offers practical guidance for creating a space that feels calm and nurturing. From cooling the room to darkening the space to creating evening rituals that gently separate day from night, this episode shows how small, intentional changes can have an outsized effect on sleep quality.
If you’ve struggled with falling asleep, waking in the night, or simply want to deepen your rest, this episode offers a clear, accessible roadmap for building a bedroom — and a nightly ritual — that truly supports your mind and body.

Sleep Essentials: Why Good Sleep Is Non-Negotiable
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff kicks off a new series on sleep — exploring why rest is one of the most powerful levers for improving our health. One in four adults isn’t getting seven hours a night, and the consequences are immediate: insulin resistance, weakened immunity, emotional volatility, and chronic fatigue.
Drawing from his new Sleep Essentials course, Jeff breaks down what’s actually happening in the body when we fall short on rest — from metabolic disruption to amygdala overactivation — and explains why modern life makes it so hard to wind down. He also explores the evolutionary purpose of sleep, the biology behind deep and REM cycles, and the hidden nightly processes that repair the brain and reset our emotional balance.
This episode sets the foundation for the rest of the series, offering a clear understanding of the sleep crisis we’re facing and why reclaiming healthy sleep is essential to our wellbeing.
