We’ll be discussing preventative sleep awareness and how a consistent sleep schedule can significantly improve your life. We'll break down the intricacies of sleep disorders, shedding light on chronic insomnia versus sleep deprivation, and explore personalized sleep therapies that can address specific issues like difficulty staying asleep or achieving REM sleep.

We’ll also unravel the mystery of sleep architecture, detailing the four fundamental stages of sleep – from light sleep all the way to REM, the dream-induced phase critical for emotional regulation and memory.
