In today’s conversation, I’m talking sleep, with Dr Kate Sprecher.Dr. Sprecher’s research focuses on the contribution of sleep and circadian rhythms to healthy aging. She is currently investigating how sleep in midlife relates to later life cognition and physical function, capitalizing on the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort, an ongoing longitudinal study that has followed community-dwelling adults for 30+ years.Today, I ask Kate the following questions:· What is sleep?· Why do we need sleep?· What are the different stages of sleep?· How do scientists study sleep in a laboratory?· What are the benefits of a good night’s sleep?· How can I sleep well?· Does sleep change throughout the lifespan?We also discuss:· How culture affects sleep· The relationship between sleep and mental health· Common sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnoea· The harmful effects of alcohol and caffeine on sleep· The ideal nap time and why you can either wake feeling refreshed or groggy after a nap.· Common treatment for sleep problems such as insomnia and sleep apnoea· Sleep hygiene, and how to cultivate better sleep habits.· Emerging sleep researchLink to Websitehttps://tannerpsychology.com.au/podcast
