186. The psychology of sleep

Sleep is one of our most vital functions but how many of us actually know that much about it, the links to our physical functioning, mental health, relationships and overall wellbeing. What about some of the strange experiments they've conducted to investigate dreams or how long we can go without sleep? In today's episode we take a deep dive into the psychology of sleep, including:

  • Why we need sleep?
  • What actually is REM sleep?
  • The Russian Sleep Experiment
  • Sleep debt
  • Sleep as a form of self sabotage
  • Revenge bedtime procrastination
  • The impact of blue light and screens in the bedroom
  • How to improve your sleep hygiene and more
