Summary
Sleep is one of the most important activities of daily living so on this episode I invite sleep medicine expert Dr Michael Farquhar to discuss the impact of eating (and what time we eat) on sleep quality.
We also delve into a discussion about fasting, the effect of poor sleep on health (particularly shift workers) and why defining when you choose to eat could have health benefits. We round up with actionable tips on how you can ‘Eat on Time’ every day.
We talk about:
- What happens when we sleep, what are the mechanisms, do we still not know why we sleep
- How eating can positively or negatively affect our sleep pattern
- Does it affect circadian rhythm? Cortisol, melatonin, Noradrenalin
- What kind of hormonal effects do we see when we sleep?
- How long does it take to reset the clock
Fasting:
- What is fasting?
- Different types of fasting that are most popular
- Are we meant to fast from an evolutionary point of view?
- What happens during a fast at a physiological level and will the effects be different depending on the person fasting?
- Health effects of fasting
- Why is fasting becoming popular?
- Why constant eating could be harmful and related to lifestyle diseases
- How to fast responsibly and what things to look out for if you do?

| 0:54.3 | like fatigue. So magnesium supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they |
| 0:59.1 | might have little effect on someone else. And as Professor Tim said in our conversation, |
| 1:03.9 | personalized nutrition takes away that trial and error and that very long process of trying to |
