Dream Big:The Power of a Good Night's Sleep (w/ Todd Anderson) | In The Booth w/ Shawn Booth Podcast

Rest easy, folks! We're venturing into the world of sleep optimization with former NFL athlete and co-founder of Dream Recovery, Todd Anderson. Here's a guy who understands the power of a good night's rest. From his days as a college football walk-on to his current role as a champion of sleep-focused wellness, Todd's journey is as inspiring as it is insightful.

We dive into the nitty-gritty of sleep and its impact on our lives, discussing how seemingly innocuous activities like screen time and alcohol consumption can throw our sleep patterns out of whack. Todd reveals the importance of a balanced REM and non-REM sleep cycle for sustained physical and mental regeneration. We delve into exactly how many hours of sleep our bodies need and talk about some fascinating sleep aids - think sleep masks, fitness & health wearables, blue light glasses, and even mouth taping!

Finally, we explore the pros and cons of other sleep aids like melatonin and THC. From tips on picking the perfect mattress to strategies for controlling technology's impact on our sleep, we leave no stone unturned. Don't snooze on this one - it's time to wake up to the importance of quality sleep.
