The Importance of Getting Enough Sleep

"Stress is a significant barrier to good sleep. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline keep you alert, ready to fight that threat even if your body may be really in need of rest. On today’s episode, Smiling Mind’s CEO Dr Addie Wootten speaks to nutritionist, yoga teacher and media personality Lola Berry on her personal experience with anxiety, coronavirus and sleep. Plus, sleep expert Dr Moira Junge joins the podcast to explain how to exercise good sleep hygiene during these stressful times, and the layered relationship between poor sleep and mental illness. You can still sign up for Mindful Month with Smiling Mind, a month-long movement to help you establish positive mental health practices for now and into the future.
