Counting Sheep is Out, Light Science is In: Sleep Tips from Dr. Elie Gottlieb

Are you struggling with sleep and looking for practical, science-backed tips to get better rest?
You’re in luck!
In our latest podcast episode, we welcomed Dr. Elie Gottlieb, a leading neuroscientist and the Head of Applied Sleep Science at SleepScore Labs, to shed light on how you can truly optimize your sleep without the fluff.
Dr. Gottlieb breaks down the complexity of sleep into actionable advice, touching on everything from the importance of consistent sleep schedules to the science of light exposure. Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:
The Power of Light: Start your day with 10-15 minutes of sunlight exposure to set your internal clock. While blue light before bedtime gets a bad rap, it’s crucial during the day to boost alertness and mood.
Caffeine Curfew: If you’re a coffee lover, be sure to have your last cup at least 6 hours before bedtime. This simple rule can help you avoid disrupting your sleep cycle.
Consistency is Key: While everyone’s sleep needs are different, maintaining a consistent sleep and wake time, even on weekends, is essential to avoid the negative effects of “social jetlag.”
Dr. Gottlieb also dives into the exciting future of personalized sleep solutions, hinting at a time when buying a mattress might involve data-driven, customized recommendations rather than guesswork. Don’t miss this insightful episode!
