Summary
This episode is brought to you in collaboration with This Works.
In this episode, I’m joined by This Works CEO Anna Persaud to talk about the science of sleep and how we can maximise our sleep, both quantity and quality, to help us live our best lives.
Anna and I discuss everything from the types of sleep, including REM and why that’s a vital component of our sleep, the circadian rhythm and how modern life throws it out of sync and the ways to settle back into your rhythm and the ways in which we can ease ourselves into a good sleep before we even get into bed.
Anna also shares the results of extensive research with independent scientific advisor Professor Gaby Badre on sleep and how those findings have helped This Works create products and experiences, with the Sleep Plus collections, that can support and foster not just more sleep but a better quality of sleep.

| 0:11.4 | Hello, hi and welcome to a beauty special episode of the Emma Gun Show, where we're going |
| 0:17.5 | to be taking a deep dive into sleep with this work CEO and a person. If you struggle to |
| 0:23.6 | get to sleep, always find that you wake up in the middle of the night, struggle to stay |
| 0:28.3 | asleep or feel as though you always wake up tired, then you'll want to hear what Anna has |
| 0:33.0 | to say in this show. Good quality sleep is essential to our overall well-being and |
| 0:38.5 | when we don't sleep well. Our circadian rhythm is pushed out of sync and the chain reaction |
| 0:43.2 | can leave us feeling tired, moody, less focused and irritable. And that's just the tip of the |
| 0:48.7 | iceberg. I've talked about my issues with sleep on the podcast, the things that I've used |
| 0:53.2 | to help and what I know works against me getting good sleep. And one of the things I've relied |
| 0:57.9 | on for years is that this work's sleep plus pillow spray. The sleep plus collection |
| 1:02.8 | supports those who struggle to stay asleep. This work has spent a lot of time analysing sleep, |
| 1:08.3 | how we sleep, the stages of sleep and the impact we can have on our sleep. And that's |
| 1:12.6 | what Anna shares with us in this episode. We discuss everything from the types of sleep, |
| 1:17.5 | including REM and why that's a vital component of our sleep. The circadian rhythm and how |
| 1:22.6 | modern life throws it out of sync and the ways to settle back into your rhythm and the |
| 1:26.9 | ways in which we can ease ourselves into a good sleep before we even get into bed. Anna |
| 1:31.6 | also shares the results of extensive research with neuroscientist, world-leading expert |
| 1:36.7 | in sleep medicine and independent scientific advisor, Professor Gabby Bader, on sleep and |
| 1:42.2 | how those findings have helped this work create products and experiences that can support |
| 1:46.7 | and foster not just more sleep, but a better quality of sleep. The links to everything |
| 1:51.6 | we discuss will be in the show notes, but please do join me in welcoming Anna Persaud, |
