Listen "THH048—You Miss 100% of the Naps You Do Not Take"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to "The Healthy Healer" podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Fred Moss. Through sustained conversations, we delve deep into the journeys of healers who've found their purpose after personal transformation. Many enter the healing profession with aspirations only to grapple with reality—endless training, unexpected responsibilities, and even disillusionment. But there are those who rise above, harnessing personal healing and rediscovering their passion. Our podcast features these inspiring souls who've returned to the healing profession, stronger and more aligned than ever. Join us for riveting conversations that shed light on the true essence of healing and the incredible individuals who've redefined their paths. Here are some key takeaways from this follow-up episode: - Sleep quality is more important than quantity. Just counting hours slept does not indicate how restorative the sleep was. - Good sleep requires honoring your natural sleep and wake cycles. Go to sleep when tired and be awake when awake. Don't force or resist either state. - Sleep hygiene is critical - the activities and environment before bedtime. Dim lights, avoid electronics, relaxing rituals. As important as morning routines. - Naps can be restorative if taken when naturally tired. Don't oversleep and disrupt sleep-wake cycle. Let yourself wake up naturally. - What and when you eat and drink affects sleep. Caffeine, alcohol, and late night meals can impair sleep onset and continuity. - Take time to consciously transition from waking to sleeping state. Mimic morning routines with baths, reading, meditation. Don't just jump into bed. Overall, be as intentional about sleep habits as daily morning rituals. Quality sleep requires both quantity and excellent sleep hygiene practices. Make sleep a priority.
