Summary
Good quality sleep can be a magical thing when we get it but it’s SO elusive! That’s why we invited a sleep expert, Dr. Peter Martone on the show to help us figure out how to properly do the thing we spend a third of our lives trying to accomplish!
Dr. Martone, aka, Dr. Sleep Right, uses neurology to see through the magic and uncover its mysteries. But he doesn’t stop there. He points out that these days, our bodies endure prolonged states of stress. The way we run, walk, and sit has been altered because we’ve lost the curve in our necks, resulting in forward head posture. Not only does this wreak havoc in our beds at night, it can be tied to a number of health issues including back pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and suppressed immune systems, just to name a few.So what can we do about this? Dr Martone implores you to stop just “going to bed.”
Tune in to learn about corrective sleep posture and how to go to bed with purpose and wake up rested, refreshed and aligned. He also answers many burning questions in the episode! Want to know more about: Napping: Should you? How long? When? Your thermostat. Sleep supplements. Eating and drinking before bed. Weighted blankets. Tracking sleep…the list goes on.
Dr. Martone is the real deal. He shows up for us in his pajamas. Don’t miss this opportunity to see how a sleep expert personally falls asleep every night!
