Waking up Rejuvenated, our Biological Sleep Tendencies, and Sleep Supplementation
My guest today is Dr. Allison Brager. Dr. Brager is an expert and researcher in the fields of behavioral genetics, sleep, and biological rhythms and is a researcher in those fields for the US Army. She serves on the NCAA task force for mental health and sleep, and is the author of Meathead: Unraveling the Athletic Brain, a book that aims to debunk the myth of the “dumb jock.” Dr. Brager is also a two-time CrossFit Games athlete in the Team division and a former Division I athlete in track and field.
In this episode we talked about Dr. Brager’s research in sleep, how some professional positions may pre-select themselves based on our individual sleep tendencies, how intermittent fasting is being studied to prolong life, what we can learn about Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin’s sleep habits, and what you need to know about sleep supplements.
