Early birds and night owls. Catching some Z’s, winks and shut-eye. Jet lag and insomnia. Why do we need to sleep, anyway? In this podcast, Amy and Evelyn delve into the impact of sleep on our lives, and how it influences our children’s and teens’ development and our daily functioning as adults. They reveal how much sleep affects what we can do the following day, as well as how much our daily actions affect how we sleep the following night. Amy and Evelyn also touch on what happens in your body when you use a screen device (including Kindles!) close to bedtime, the pros and cons of using natural supplements like melatonin, and how our society’s attitude toward sleep may mess up our health. A must-hear!
