Does Sleep Have to do with our Weight?

Viatris
About this episode

Ever notice that after a bad night’s sleep, your body seems to yearn for comfort food? In our inaugural episode we’ll pull back the covers on the science of sleep, exploring its effects on our health and how it plays a role in keeping our waistlines and our hearts healthy.

We talk with sleep experts Dr. Natalie Dautovich and Dr. Neil Stanley about the rise of sleep disturbances and disorders, the risks involved in getting too little sleep, and how you can recognize whether or not you may need some help. When we've exhausted our time together, you'll be ready to assess your own sleep habits and begin leading a more slumber sufficient life.

Just remember, no nodding off!

The opinions expressed are the opinions of the individuals recorded and not the opinions of Viatris.
