Dr. Craig Heller - All About the Science of Sleep
Nutrition, exercise and sleep are the key components of optimal health. Yes, you may workout everyday and count every single calorie yet if you're not paying attention to your quality of sleep, you may not get the results you want from your exercise program. A lack of quality sleep not only affects your physical performance, but being sleep deprived is bad for your health and could cause you to overeat or drive like you're under the influence of alcohol. On this episode of All About Fitness, Dr. Craig Heller, a professor of biology at Stanford University and an advisor for EightSleep - a temperature controlled mattress that can help you optimize your sleep, discusses the biological reasons of why the body needs sleep and offers suggestions for how you can achieve a great night's sleep every night. This is a fascinating and enlightening discussion about the science of sleep.
