#8: Why do so many of us struggle with sleep? In this episode of The Science of Sound, host Aaron Fournier sits down with Dr. Paul Harris, a naturopathic doctor with over 56 years of experience, to uncover the science behind sleep, stress, and recovery. Learn how chronic stress disrupts sleep cycles, the role of cortisol and the autonomic nervous system, and how sound frequencies can help restore balance. Key Takeaways: Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels can severely disrupt sleep cycles. The glymphatic system is responsible for detoxing the brain during deep sleep.
