In their follow-up from last week's conversation on the effects of sleep on mental health, host Rick Hoaglund and Dr. Rajesh Balagani dig into sleeping disorders - why they happen, how they affect us, and what we can do to curb the trend - before diving into REM cycles, therapeutic remedies, and how you can optimize your resting hours to get the maximum benefit from a good night's rest.
