Lack of quality sleep does more than leave you tired. It reshapes the brain, strains the heart, disrupts metabolism, and even weakens the immune system. In this episode, we hear from Professor Russell Foster and Eti Ben Simon, PhD, two experts on the subject of sleep.
Professor Foster explains circadian rhythms, how they are influenced, and how health is impacted by when we eat, exercise, and take medication. Dr. Ben Simon weighs in on how emotions and relationships are affected when we sleep well -- and when we don’t.
Tune in for this fascinating discussion, plus key takeaways for employers to help their workforce improve sleep, health outcomes and quality of life.
