Description

Angela is joined by Mollie Eastman to talk about the importance of aligning our circadian rhythms with our environment and the impact it has on our health. They discuss the seasonal and geographical factors that influence our sleep patterns, referencing health geography and conditions like MS, and explore the concept of "sleep capital" and "social capital" as a way to balance prioritising sleep while also maintaining social connections
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Our bodies are not designed to follow the same circadian alignment throughout the year.
Factors like geographical location and seasonal changes play a significant role in determining our optimal sleep patterns.
Where we choose to reside can have a direct impact on our health and well-being. For example, rates of certain diseases like MS are higher in northern latitude locations compared to closer to the equator locations, possibly due to reduced sunlight exposure and vitamin D connection.
Balancing social interactions and prioritising sleep is crucial. The concept of managing "sleep capital" most of the time but occasionally investing in "social capital" highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy social life while still prioritizing sleep.
Designing an environment conducive to good sleep is essential. This includes ensuring a dark bedroom, minimising exposure to blue light, and creating a relaxing pre-sleep routine to promote the production of melatonin.

BEST MOMENTS
"Our bodies are not designed like that. There are a seasonal nature, but also where we fall geographically on the globe really, really matters."
“An anthropologist anthropologist studied the Hudson tribe and would find, you know, kind of how sleep had been managed in hunter-gatherer tribes."
"So, that might be the time where it's the wedding of the close friend, and you're going to be staying up much later, or friends are going to be coming over and staying with you, so your sleep is going to be a little bit funky during that period."
