Most people think of sleep as a basic biological function—but for Mollie Eastman, it's a skill that can change your entire life. As the creator of Sleep Is A Skill and host of the hit podcast by the same name, Mollie turned her battle with insomnia into a mission to help others reclaim their nights—and their health.
In this episode, we dive deep into the world of sleep optimization. Mollie shares the journey that led her from sleepless nights while traveling abroad to studying chronobiology and behavioral change. With science-backed insights and practical tools, she breaks down how modern habits disrupt our rhythms—and what we can do to restore them.
This conversation goes far beyond sleep hygiene. It’s about taking back control of your time, energy, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re struggling to fall asleep or just want to sharpen your edge, Mollie’s approach will help you rethink the way you rest—and live.
