3 Non-Negotiables for Restful Sleep | The Science Behind Your Best Rest with Jesse Allen
How can you dream any bigger when your brain won’t even let you rest?
In this episode of The Complete Woman, Tori Poulter sits down with wellness expert Jesse Allen to unpack the most overlooked pillar of health: quality sleep—not as a luxury, but as a necessary biological rhythm.
Together, they dive into the deep science of sleep cycles, the emotional weight of the sleepless woman, and the practical, often-forgotten rituals that can transform your nights from restless to restorative. From morning sunlight to magnesium, bedtime routines to late-night cravings, this conversation bridges modern neuroscience with simple steps towards self-care—and calls us to remember: you are not lazy, you are likely just tired.
You’ll learn why hot flashes, sugar cravings, and even your “snooze” button are part of a bigger story—the story of how you’re showing up for yourself every day.
Caffeine delays melatonin. Alcohol disrupts REM. But you—you—can disrupt the whole system by letting your dreams do the heavy lifting.
