Luckily for us, Dr Jill McGarry is "a geek!"... her words, not mine!
The good news about that is she has a real love for actionable solutions to improve sleep. 💤
And who doesn't need a bit of that in their lives? 😴
In this episode of the podcast we hear, very clearly, why we need to banish beliefs such as...
"YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE!"
And we get to grips with practical advice for individuals and employers, including:
✔️ coffee as a recommendation (yes... from a sleep expert!)
✔️ what to do when you can't sleep
✔️ equality
✔️ flexible working
✔️ 4 key factors for sleep hygiene - do YOU know what they are? Are you putting them into practice?
Check out the excellent resources that Jill shares, including those for managers, in the show notes. STOPBANG should become part of your toolkit.
