Hello! Welcome to the Healthy Moms Podcast. I'm Katie from WalnusWelma.com and I'm so

excited that you're joining me here today. I'm also really excited that today we're

going to be joined by a really fun guest and someone I met recently and was just very,

very impressed with. His name is Dr. Michael Bruce and he's a clinical psychologist. He's

a diplomat of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and a fellow of the American Academy of

Sleep Medicine, which both of those in their own right are incredibly admirable. But he was

one of the youngest people to have ever passed that board at age 31 with a specialty in sleep

of Wind and I have researched sleep a whole lot over the years and I feel like I'm pretty

knowledgeable about the importance of sleep and how to optimize sleep and even the role

his book. So, he has things called chronotypes which we're going to talk a lot about in this

podcast. Basically, a chronotype is the way that you sleep, the way that you naturally

would have a sleep for them. And he breaks it down much farther than just early bird or

night owl and provides some really useful and actionable steps for any sleep problems

you may have. If you're a mom, you'll also be happy to know he really talks about how

to get a child to sleep in their own bed, the best way to do that, the healthiest of the

child and when that should happen. So, take a listen, it's fascinating the info he has
