Why Sleep Matters with Matt Philips

Why is sleep so important? What effect can a lack of sleep have on your mental and physical health? Can caffeine really affect your sleep that much? What can you do when sleep is hard to come by?

These are the type of areas around sleep that we delve into with Matt Philips this week.

For over ten years, Matt was part of a multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, sports therapists, osteopaths, podiatrists and massage therapists. In witnessing the coming & going of many misconceptions within the Running Industry, Matt decided through his website www.runchatlive.com to try and help both runners and therapists evolve from outdated ideas and embrace a more evidence-based approach to running injury prevention & management. Matt has written for numerous websites & running magazines including Runners Connect & Outdoor Fitness. Matt currently offers specialist online consultation for runners & non runners struggling to achieve results. The ‘Sports Therapy Association Podcast‘ is recorded live every Tuesday at 8pm (UK time) via YouTube then upoaded to all podcast podcast apps.

Matt is not a sleep specialist but has suffered from insomnia and sleep deprivation for years. Keen to understand more this year he underwent a sleep study. Modern sleep research is now far more equipped at measuring the effect of poor sleep quantity & quality, and the results are pretty shocking as Matt Philips, has found.

Join us as we discuss many of the answers to the questions posed above and explore just why sleep matters.
