We've all heard the phrase, "Sleep is for the weak," and in today's fast-paced world, it might seem like a badge of honor to function on minimal sleep. You may also have heard people say, "If I can get by on 6 hours or less of sleep, I must be tough." Or you've said, "I can catch up on sleep over the weekend." These are just a few of the sleep myths that continue to circulate in our fast-paced society, myths that can drown out the truth and prevent us from getting the rest we truly need.  But what if these widely-held beliefs are dangerous myths that are costing us our health?

What are the biggest misconceptions about sleep health?  In this episode, I'll break down the most common sleep misconceptions, and reveal the truth behind them. Let's dig into the science and set the record straight.
