Sleep Tips for Moms, Night Owls & Everyone In Between with Todd Anderson

We’re back with Todd Anderson, founder of Dream Recovery, for a deep dive into all things SLEEP. If you’ve ever laid awake at night staring at the ceiling, struggled with staying asleep, or felt like your energy is constantly drained no matter what, this one’s for you. We opened up the floor to your most pressing questions and cover everything from insomnia, hormones and nighttime routines to sleep myths, travel hacks, and how to navigate rest in seasons of life like motherhood or shift work. Here’s a glimpse of what we tackle in this episode: What to do if you wake up wide awake at 2:30am, how to reset bad habits like staying up too late (even if you’re an early riser), melatonin vs magnesium, foods that can help (or hurt) your sleep, how anxiety and your cycle affect your rest, tips for navigating pregnancy sleep and sleep in your 30s + 40s and beyond, thoughts on naps, sleep trackers, light exposure, and the verdict on sleeping naked. Whether you're a new mom, a night owl, a biohacker, or just someone who wants to feel rested again… hit play, take a deep breath, and get ready to build your best night of sleep yet. 00:00:00: Intro 00:01:04: Recommendations for insomnia 00:04:30: Issues falling back asleep at night 00:07:19: 4-7-8 breath work 00:09:27: Reducing blue light 00:12:55: Circadian rhythm versus sleep drive cycle 00:15:12: The role of caffeine 00:19:00: How to create a sleep schedule for people with inconsistent schedules 00:23:05: How to avoid jet lag 00:26:40: Sleep advice for new moms 00:28:48: Mattress topper recommendations 00:29:15: Keeping it cool while sleeping 00:33:31: Sleeping nude 00:35:58: Bedsheet recommendations 00:38:28: Castor oil 00:42:05: Period cycle and sleep quality 00:45:15: Bedroom set up for ideal sleep quality 00:49:26: Nasal strips 00:52:10: Benefits of wearing both nasal strips and mouth tape 00:56:24: Does mouth tape actually work? 01:00:10: If you're stranded on an island, what item for optimal sleep would you bring?
