Summary

In theory, you'll spend about 1/3 of your life asleep. It's how humans recharge physically and psychologically. Yet in busy, modern life, sleep is often treated like a negotiable, something put last on the agenda, and as having less value than exercise when it comes to improving how you feel. Tricky indeed and full of nuance.

In this episode, I'm diving into sleep a bit more from the "here's what you can implement in your life right now to feel better soon" perspective. I've divided these 13 tips up into lower barrier-to-entry and higher barrier-to-entry categories based on time, cost, and behavior change buy-in. (Note: My categories are pretty subjective.) My hope is that you find something you can implement very soon!

In this episode I covered:

Why sleep and rest matter
Why trading sleep for workouts is a losing proposition
What is the hierarchy between sleep, nutrition, and exercise?
Considerations for lifestyle and non-negotiables
13 tips for better sleep based on lower and higher barriers to entry

0:00.0	Hi there. Welcome to episode 220 of Harder to Kill Radio. I'm your host
0:05.6	Steph Godro and you have landed on a solo Friday episode of the show that I have
0:11.7	lovingly dubbed fierce love Friday. On Tuesdays I hop on
0:16.7	the mic and do an expert guest interview with somebody amazing in the world and share
0:21.6	everything that they're up to but Fridays it's just me and
0:25.2	the mic and the cat and sometimes it's practical other times it's a rant so
0:31.7	today we're gonna be doing a more practical version of Fear
0:35.7	Love Friday and I'm going to be running down some of my best tips for how to sleep better.
0:46.1	This is one component of my third pillar of health which is recharge your energy and it really has to do with what we do daytime
0:52.1	and nighttime,
0:53.0	but sleep is obviously a huge component of that.
0:55.3	I mean, theoretically, we spend about one third of our lives

0:59.8	It is so incredibly important,
1:01.4	yet it is something that people really do struggle with.
1:04.4	So I'm going to be breaking down ways that you can get more restful sleep and
1:09.2	break them kind of down into two categories.

1:19.4	advanced but you can choose no matter where you're at to see what you can implement there.
