The Ultimate Guide for a Good Night’s Sleep - Q&A with Dr. Nerina Ramlakhan
New Q+A episode for our paid members who sent us pressing questions about sleep!
Hi everyone,
Today, back on the show is sleep physiologist Dr. Nerina Ramlakhan to address your most pressing questions about sleep. We tried answering as many questions from you as possible in 90 minutes and I think we did it justice.
Discover Dr Nerina's five non-negotiables for good sleep, the role of dreams in memory and creativity, tips for managing intrusive thoughts and the need for self-care practices. We discuss why melatonin might not be the best sleep aid and explore natural alternatives like magnesium, valerian root, and ashwagandha. We also discuss sleep issues related to bipolar disorder, the impact of nutritional status on sleep, and the pros and cons of sleep gadgets and trackers.
Tune in as we explore personalized approaches to improving sleep and holistic therapies that can make a difference.
I will be sending out a separate email in a few days shouting out all the paid members who asked questions that we answered in the episode!
