#203: My Step-by-Step Sleep Protocol

Welcome to The Big Idea of the Week! Quality sleep is essential for human health, yet 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. report getting less than 7 hours of sleep per night necessary for optimal health and well-being. Sleep is regulated by our circadian rhythm, or “biological clock,” that synchronizes with our surrounding environment. Today’s fast-paced world has disrupted the circadian rhythm of millions resulting in poor immune health, increased risk for type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, cancer, obesity, depression, and so much more. On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru shares his personal step-by-step sleep protocol that has helped him transform his sleep.  In this episode we dive into: -Mindset and setting an intention for sleep before your day even begins (6:02) -Getting sunlight early in the morning (7:08) -The biggest disruptors when it comes to getting quality sleep (9:38) -Creating an evening routine and wind down ritual (26:19) -Supplements to support sleep (31:23) -Splurge items for sleep (42:10)  Also mentioned in this episode: -Dr. Mark Hyman’s Sleep Masterclass - https://courses.drhyman.com/sleep-course-own -Oura Ring - https://ouraring.com/ -Broken Brain Podcast Episode #194: Could This Simple Hack Reduce Anxiety and Panic Attacks?
