We all know we should strive to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night, but fewer than two-thirds of women actually get that much sleep. While the number of hours of slumber is very important, sleep quality is vital for top performance during the day. Research has shown that women experience lower quality of sleep than men.
Dr. Raj Dasgupta is a quadruple board certified MD, who specializes in sleep. His energy and passion for helping his patients is palpable!
In this episode Dr. Raj and I discuss:
- How much sleep do we really need
- The impact of perimenopause and menopause and the estrogen connection
- Dietary supplements
- The role of sunlight
- Obstructive sleep apnea and chronic insomnia
- Cognitive behavioral therapy and sleep hygiene tips
