Let's talk about sleep patterns. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you tired all the time?

And how can we get a better day sleep so we feel motivated and like energized to tackle the day.

Hey clutterbugs, welcome back to the Clutter Bug Podcast.

Today we're talking about sleep.

And I've never talked about this before,

and I know you're like, Cass,

you are supposed to be somebody I listened to

to talk about cleaning my house and get motivation to

declutter and to organize and learn about my organizing style. Why the heck are you talking about

sleep? But I think when we're trying to improve our life, no matter what area of our life we want to improve,

we kind of have to fix the things that might be causing the problem in the first place.

You know what I mean? And last week's podcast, we talked about the incredible power of getting your house under

control and how that affects every other aspect of your life because when a good day, when you have a start out with a good day gets better and making positive changes trickles to every other area.

We, this the same thing goes for a good night sleep and we cannot have the energy to make these changes in our life when we're exhausted, when our tank is depleted. If we don't get a good night's sleep or we consistently just get a little bit less sleep than our body actually needs,

we feel very unmotivated and have just no energy to do the things that we need to do. So this is critical that we learn about this. And for me, I'm getting older. I now need glasses, you know, things are starting to go koputski's and I noticed when I was younger I could have a couple of nights where maybe I only got five hours sleep or a six hour sleep and I'd be tired but I'd be okay. Now even when I'm getting maybe eight hour

sleep I don't feel like it's enough and my recovery time isn't doesn't turn around as much so I was doing some research like why am I so freaking tired why do I why am I not getting as good of a night sleep as I used to and there's actually science behind this.

So whether it doesn't matter what age you are, I do want to talk about how to get more sleep,

but also how aging affects our sleep and how

and how stress affects our sleep

and how medications we're taking affects our sleep

so that we can just have all the knowledge. So tonight, after you listen to this

podcast, tonight you're gonna have the best sleep of your life, which means
