It’s no secret that most small business owners struggle to get enough sleep, as do those of us with ADHD, and the majority of women over 40 have trouble sleeping due to hormonal changes and the complexity of their lives.

But getting enough sleep is not just the key to fewer dark circles and less coffee consumption. Adequate amounts of quality sleep are actually necessary for mental and physical health and wellbeing and even longevity.

I invited Morgan Adams, MSW to join me to set the record straight on how much sleep we actually need according to the research, the most effective strategies for improving sleep quality and straight talk about sleep medications like Ambien.

Here are some of the highlights:

🌙 Consistency is more important than the number of hours, and exposure to morning sunlight (without sunglasses) can improve sleep quality and regulate circadian rhythms.

🌟 Shifting negative self-talk and reframing our beliefs about sleep can lead to significant changes in our rest patterns.

🔄 By drawing firm boundaries on work time and allowing for decompression before bedtime, we can set ourselves up for restful nights and productive days

Mic Drop Moment:

“They actually, did a study recently of thousands and thousands of people. There was a higher life expectancy when people had 6 hours of consistent sleep versus 8 hours of inconsistent and interrupted sleep."
