What I'm seeing in the sleep industry and the field right now is just a lot of scary noise, which is frightening people. Guess what anxiety does? Makes your sleep worse. People will say to me, okay, well, what do I do about uh that then? What aid do I do? What what evening routine should I do? What do I do when I wake up? A lot of people find that when they do that kind of therapy, the quality of their sleep shoots up and they suddenly realize that actually the duration they were after might not be needed after all. That is the voice of acclaimed sleep physiologist, Stephanie Romishsky. With over twenty years experience, she specializes in treating complex sleep disorders, including insomnia, which I've suffered from in the past, and sleep apnea, which you spoke to her about, didn't you, Damien? Yeah, I did. I was happy to open up to staff because I find there's so much misinformation and confusing information out there that

What I liked about Steph was her fact that she was willing to Talk about the subtlety and the nuance of understanding. how sleep affects us rather than looking to generate explosive headlines. I just found it really invaluable. Well look one thing we do know.
