In today's show, we're going to optimize your sleep. We're going to draw upon eight recently published studies that will help you better understand why your sleep quality and sleep duration may not be optimal.

And I was inspired to create this podcast after a console with a client who had reported that she was getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

Now she thought it might be the result of taking a calming relaxing sleep promoting supplement and drinking too much water before bedtime

but it was just six ounces of water about 90 minutes before bed and that to me was not

sufficient to reflect why she was getting up every night to go to the bathroom.

So I probed a little bit further.

And it turned out this individual had sleep disorder breathing.

She would wake up with a dry mouth.

She was admittedly a mouth breather. So we started to talk about tips to enhance her ability to breathe through

her nose, which can help with her sleep duration as well as sleep quality because she was unaware of the fact that the symptom of

getting up to go and urinate in the middle of the night is actually a reflection

of sleep disorder breathing. So if you are trying to optimize your sleep and

you're getting up to go to the bathroom, it may not be because you're drinking

too many fluids before bed. It could be because you're breathing improperly

while you sleep. So this is going to be the first it could be because you're breathing improperly

while you sleep.

So this is gonna be the first part of this conversation.

Then we're gonna talk about circadian rhythm

and light optimization, and then dovetail that all in

with solutions to help optimize your sleep and focus on in training your body and re-learning how to breathe properly through your nose when you're sleeping.

And I have some tools and tips that I'm going to share with you shortly like

3 a micropour tape in addition to other things that I think will benefit you.
