But if you move your body, works your muscles, then your brain will need to repair those muscles and build up your body again.

And that recovery will lead to deep sleep.

It's not just about the light from the screens. It's about the content.

Let's not wait until we're sick, sick, you know, to address it.

Let's prevent it. Let's establish that solid relationship with sleep as young as we can before it turns into a problem.

Yeah, about 0% of adults in the US have diagnosable insomnia disorder.

And then another 0% are unhappy with their sleep one way or another, but don't necessarily have a sleep disorder.

Rescript your dreams.

When you go to sleep, you're less likely to have the original nightmare, more likely to

have the dream you rehearsed.

Today's guest was raised in the world of sleep science.

Before becoming a top sleep psychologist earning her PhD in appearing on national media,

Dr. Jade Wu was a child living on the campus of the Chinese Space Agency, where

her father worked with the country's first space crew studying how sleep changes in orbit.

While astronauts are exploring the final frontier, Dr. Wu became fascinated with the human

brain. She's been recognized as a champion advocate by Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine,

and her insights have been featured

everywhere from the New York Times National Geographic to NPR, TEDx, and major news networks.

Through her book, Hello Sleep, and through her clinical work as the founder of Thrive, Dr. Wu

has a refreshing, realistic approach to sleep that people describe as liberating and life-changing.

So get ready to unlearn what you thought you knew about sleep, including nightmares.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Thick Thigh Save Lives podcast.
