Meditation vs. Sleep: What Your Mind and Brain Really Need
Can meditation replace sleep? Not quite — but both are essential.
In this episode of Lead Well!, I unpack the real differences between meditation and sleep — how they affect your brain, your hormones, and your nervous system. You'll learn why both are vital, but in totally different ways.
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel clearer after meditating than after a full night’s rest — this one’s for you.
You'll learn:
Why meditation is relaxation for the mind
How sleep restores the brain physically
What happens in your EEG, hormone levels, and stress system
Practical ways to use both for more energy, clarity, and resilience
