Recharge Your Life: Dr. Kevin Gilliland on the Power of Sleep

Sleep is power! You can wear five masks and it won't do even remotely as much good for you as sleep will.
Imagine if you treated your body as well as you treat your cellphone. In this engaging episode of 'Struggle Well. Live Well. Worry Less.', Dr. Kevin Gilliland dives into the crucial role sleep plays in our mental and physical health. With over two decades of experience in mental health and addiction, Dr. Gilliland shares practical tips on how to prioritize sleep just like you would charge your phone every night.
He stresses the importance of establishing a consistent sleep routine, steering clear of electronics before bed, and how caffeine and tobacco can impact your rest. Dr. Gilliland doesn't stop there. He tackles the common struggles of working from home, offering valuable advice on setting boundaries to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Ever wondered about the effects of weed on your sleep? He gives his take on that too, shedding light on how it might be affecting your nightly rest.
One of the most eye-opening points he makes is about the connection between sleep and our immune system. Dr. Gilliland argues that getting a good night's sleep can sometimes be more beneficial for our immunity than even wearing masks. This episode is packed with insights and practical advice that can help you improve your sleep and, by extension, your overall well-being. So, why not give it a listen and start recharging your life?
