I can’t think of a better person to talk to about new parents and sleep strategies and habits!

Here's some of the topics we're getting into:

• Importance of self-care as a parent
• How sleep or sleeplessness affects our hormone balance and overall health
• The myth of everyone needing 7-8 hours of sleep a night (spoiler: it’s not all about the quantity, but also the quality of sleep)
• What are sleep cycles and the 4 stages of sleep
• Why having a drink before hitting the hay may be counter-productive
• Risks of chronic sleep deprivation
• “Paying back” the sleep debt vs lifestyle strategies to avoid the sleep debt in the first place
• Using melatonin supplements
• Napping
