S2E18 Sleep: why it's important; how to measure & tips for improving quality

May 31, 2022 • Jason Smith & Greg Ryan • Season 2 • Episode 18

Like it or loathe it, we all need sleep. Pretty much every animal sleeps and given the risks associated with being unconscious for periods of time then it must be pretty important. In this episode we delve much deeper into sleep, with 2 experts: Dr Jonathan Charest is the Director of Athlete Sleep Services at the Centre for Sleep & Human Performance in Calgary and Jesse Cook, a Clinical Psych PhD Student & sleep researcher who has particular interest in advancing clinical care of hypersomnia & wearable sleep tech.

In the episode, Jonathan talks about blue blocking glasses which you can see more of here:
