The was Shawn Stevenson’s second time on the show and what a treat it was.
For those that don’t know Shawn Stevenson is the creator of The Fat Loss Code which we recommend to people all the time who are interested in learning how to lose weight the right way.
I really like the work that he’s doing and the heart with which he does it. This episode we talked about sleep and how to improve sleep naturally and cure insomnia.
Here’s some of the topics we discussed:
- What’s the best sleep attire
- Time going to bed, does it matter?
- Polyphasic sleep patterns
- Temperature of the room
- The best time for melatonin production
- Low Blue Light glasses and if they work
- Angle of the head and bed
- Shift work & why it’s so damaging
- EMF Radiation and why it’s harmful for sleep
- Grounding technologies
- What foods to avoid before bed
- How much sleep do we need?
Sleep disorders and sleeping problems are a huge problem in today’s world. Millions of people today deal with issues like sleep apnea, snoring, waking u in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and can’t go back to sleep.
He wrote a book called Sleep Smarter: 21 Proven Tips to Sleep Your Way To a Better Body, Better Health and Bigger Success that you might want to take a look at. It has received some pretty amazing reviews from people like Daniel Vitalis, Pat Flynn and others.
I have not read it yet but having spent some time with Shawn in person down in San Diego and speaking with him over email and during our two conversations on this show, I’m pretty darn confident he’s going to deliver some amazing information.
I have the book on my Kindle and am going to read it as soon as I get a chance.
We talked a lot about many different issues like what to do about your sleep patterns if you’re a shift worker. We talked about how EMF damages your ability to have a deep restful sleep with lots of REM. We talked about why it’s more important to focus on when you sleep vs how much sleep you get.
We discussed the low blue light glasses I wear to help reduce the amount of blue light that gets emitted from computer screens, cell phones and iPad type devices. You can also get them from Amazon as well. After we spoke with Dr. Richard Hansler
As an anecdotal story I wear them every night for several hours and I seem to sleep really well as a result. I’m a big fan of them. We don’t produce as much melatonin when the spectrum of blue light enters our eyes for some reason.
We also discussed the type of clothing we should wear when we go to bed. Did you know that women who wear bras (not the ones from Ohganix) when they’re sleeping significantly increase their risk of breast cancer?
It’s pretty amazing that bras are so harmful to our health and we don’t even know it. We also talked about polyphasic sleep cycles and why it’s probably not that healthy for you.
