Leveraging 'Shuteye' for Resilience- Dr. Jill McGarry
Sometimes sleep isn't prioritized as you may experience FOMO or underestimate the importance of this. However, going without sleep for a little while is okay but constantly doing it becomes problematic.
In today’s episode, our podcast host, Martina Witter, is joined by Dr. Jill McGarry (Clinical Psychologist & Sleep Expert) as they discuss sleep's role in resilience, the different types of sleep & the solutions for various sleep problems. Dr. Jill is a Clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience in the NHS and she now also works privately with Individuals experiencing sleep problems.
In the episode, Dr. Jill shares her perspective on resilience, the role of resilience in her professional and personal life, as well as the role of adenosine & melatonin in sleep. We also delve deep into sleep recommendations for autistic people, caffeine effects on sleep, and how mindset shifts could kick off insomnia.
Tune in to listen to the golden rules for optimal sleep and much more!
