Show Notes

Healthy sleep is just as important to health and healing as physical, mental and emotional health. It is also the foundation for other lifestyle changes. Being tired or sleepy makes it very difficult to eat well and exercise. According to the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, sleep delays or interruptions can cause sluggishness, low attention span, decreased sociability, depressed mood, decreased deep sleep, decreased caloric burn during the day, increased hunger, decreased performance and much more. It’s easy to see why healthy sleep is important!

In this week's episode, pulmonologist Dr. Will Edmonson talks about how screentime before bed can affect our sleep and what to do about it. 

Every two weeks we will introduce another Small Step for Better Health. Follow us on social media for more tips, and sign up for our email newsletter, True North.
