What if sleep isn’t the problem—but how you sleep is? This episode breaks down the biology behind real rest.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually happens in your body and brain while you sleep. We’ll explore the biology behind the 5 phases of sleep, your circadian rhythm, and how factors like light, caffeine, and naps affect your energy and rest.

Whether you’re waking up groggy after a full night’s sleep, relying on caffeine to get through the day, or curious about how to feel more consistently energized — this episode gives you the science-backed clarity you need to finally feel rested.

Inside this episode, we cover:

• What happens during each phase of sleep (and why it matters)
• Why you're still tired after 8 hours
• The science of sleep cycles, brain waves, and “sleep pressure”
• How the circadian rhythm and sleep pressure affect your energy
• How caffeine tricks your brain and how to best time your caffeine intake
• The truth about naps and how to use them strategically
• What “chronotypes” mean and how to explore your ideal sleep-wake rhythm

If you’re ready to finally understand what your body needs to rest, recharge, and truly feel like yourself again—this one’s for you.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of the Sleep Series, where we’ll explore how sleep impacts hormones, metabolism, skin, weight, and more.
