How’s your fitness journey traveling? Staying on track??? How’s your sleep going???? These are some questions you need to ask yourself and check in.
Well this topic is important and thats sleep. Check out this podcast below with two Dr’s discussing the importance of sleep.
Dr. Matthew Walker is a specialist in the study of slumber and the founder-director of the Centre for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley. The influential British neuroscientist is the author of the international bestseller Why We Sleep (2017), recommended by The New York Times for “night-table reading in the most pragmatic sense” and endorsed by Bill Gates. In addition to examining how sleep affects the brain and body, Matthew has analysed everything from its role in Alzheimer’s disease and depression to how it can facilitate learning and, potentially, extend our life expectancy. He received his Ph.D. from the Medical Research Council at Nottingham University in London in 1996, eventually becoming an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School in 2004. As a certified sleep scientist, Matthew has conducted extensive research and studies into the impact of sleep and how it affects our physical and mental health.
