Human Sleep Expert: Don't Pee In The Middle Of The Night & Why Night Time Sex Isn't A Good Idea!

What are the most popular questions people come to you with as a sleep doctor? There's three biggies. Number one is what do I do if I fall asleep okay and I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't fall back asleep. And you can help people with that. Absolutely. The second question is what pillow should I buy? And I'm gonna walk you through which pillows make sense for which people. And then another one that people ask me all the time. Time is What's the best time to have sex? That's a strange thing for somebody of your profession to be honest, but well, let me explain why. So I've been an actively practicing sleep specialist for twenty six years. I take care of people's sleep problems like apnea, insomnia, and I'm really interested in the things that you might be doing right now that are messing up your sleep that are easy to fix. So for example, most people don't know but they have a genetic sleep code inside them called their chronotype, which decides when your brain releases things like melatonin, cortisol, adrenaline, and dopamine. And so I can show you based on your chronotype when it's bedtime, but also the perfect time of day to do almost any activity, including the perfect time to have coffee and alcohol.

Crazy. There's even data to show that your ability to understand complicated concepts improves when you're more in line with your chronotype. Now there are three known chronotypes, but what I'm famous for is discovering a fourth one, which I think might be you. So we're gonna talk a lot about that. We're also gonna talk about dreams, because dreams can tell you things about yourself that you may not want to know. And then there's how to fix jet lag, whether you should sleep with a TV on the truth about melatonin supplementation, and my favorite way to get magnesium. But before we get into all of that, shall we go and look at the best possible sleep position. Yeah, let's check it out. Guys, I've got a favor to ask before this episode begins.
