Show Notes
Dr Carissa Gardiner discusses the importance of sleep and recovery acknowledging that it does not matter what technology or “hacks” you use if you aren’t doing the basics right then you aren’t setting yourself up for success. We dive into the sleep cycle and the importance of different stages on muscle vs brain recovery and further understand the difference between quality versus the quantity of sleep. Carissa also breaks down the impact of blue light on our sleep (phones/gaming/kindles). We discuss the importance of sleep routine, understanding how to bank sleep and think about sleep chronically instead of one night at a time. Happy listening!
