How To Improve Your Sleep Hygiene For A Better Night’s Rest

Category: Health
Duration: 00:36:37
Publish Date: 2025-08-20 15:00:00
Description:

What is sleep hygiene and will it help you get some sleep? In Med School, can you imagine having two vaginas? And in our Quick Consult, what to do if dizziness has you in a spin.

In this episode, Dr Jen Walsh discusses how important a regular wake up time is when it comes to sleep and how exposure to bright light during the day can help.

We also talk about napping, exercise and why separate doonas might be the key to getting a good night’s rest.

Plus, are phones before bed really as bad as we think? And, does mouth taping work? Also, should you have a TV in the bedroom?
