Episode description as stored

Dr. Michael Breus sits down with sleep researcher Dr. Michael Grandner (University of Arizona) to explore the hidden links between sleep and athletic performance. They also unpack the latest science around dreams, and how the brain sorts and processes memories during sleep. Plus, Dr. Grandner offers a clear clinical definition of insomnia (and why CBT-I beats sleeping pills), and reveals surprising research showing that a simple sleepiness questionnaire can predict sports injuries — even concussions — better than traditional risk factors.
