Starting with the basics, Dr Ross uncovers the science -  Why do we need sleep? What are the benefits, and also the negative impacts of sleep deprivation in an acute setting vs chronic? From reduced attention, dysregulation of hormones to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, all is explained!

Dr Gina and Dr Ross then discuss how consistently deviating from the optimal sleep duration of 6 to 9 hours per night can lead to chronic diseases, highlighting not only the importance of sleep quantity, but also quality.

A large discussion is then had on sleep quality, discussing sleep cycles and the phases within, the vital importance of REM sleep. Plus, Dr Ross shares simple ways you can measure your sleep quality to determine if it’s in fact effective and restorative. 

For those grappling with insomnia, Dr Ross and Dr Gina discuss the consideration of melatonin or sleeping pills, advocating for their judicious use and highlight the gravity of sleep apnea, urging listeners to seek professional assessment due to its association with cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
