73. Sleep Is A Skill And You Can Hone It, with Mollie Eastman

Fact: The average doctor has approximately TWO hours of training in sleep science. So it's up to us to seek outside expertise to find our own answers.

Enter, Mollie Eastman! A fellow sleep geek and source of inspiration for yours truly, she is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, and the host of The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast, an approach that optimizes people’s sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. With a background in behavioral change from The Nonverbal Group, she became fascinated with chronobiology and its practical application to sleep and our overall experience of life.

Mollie discusses:

• How CBT has become the first line of treatment for insomnia
• You can go from “good to great” and “great to exceptional”
• Brighter days and darker nights as a key principle to improving sleep (sound familiar, dear listener?)
• The range of tests that exist to determine various disorders
• Trackers aren’t for everyone- hear about what might work (or not!) for you
• The concept of thought timing: we are a different brain at noon than midnight
