Breathing and Sleeping: Insights from The Wellbeing Lab

If you look at what's happened to our species, a lot of people believe that evolution means progress, that we get very confused about what Darwin meant by natural selection.
Struggling to get a good night's sleep? Or maybe you're curious about how the way you breathe can impact your overall health? This episode of The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young might just have the answers you're looking for. Will sits down with Dr. Hugh Selsick, a consultant in psychiatry and sleep medicine, and James Nestor, an author and science journalist, to unravel the mysteries of insomnia and the art of breathing. Dr.
Hugh Selsick kicks things off by debunking some common myths about insomnia. He dives into why cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is often the best treatment for those restless nights and shares practical tips on how to improve your sleep habits. Ever wondered if counting sheep really helps? Dr. Selsick has some thoughts on that too. Next up, James Nestor takes us on a journey through the science of breathing.
He explains why breathing through your nose can make a world of difference compared to mouth breathing. James also shares his personal experience with a breathing experiment that led to some surprising benefits. But that's not all. This episode also touches on equine therapy as a unique approach to mental health. Whether you're dealing with insomnia, interested in breathing techniques, or just looking for new ways to improve your mental well-being, this episode offers a wealth of information.
Join Will Young and his guests for an engaging and informative discussion that could help you breathe easier and sleep better. Tune in and find out how small changes in your daily routine can lead to big improvements in your overall well-being.
