How to Get the Best Sleep of Your Life &...

Mike Carruthers | OmniCast Media
About this episode

For years, mattresses and pillows carried a warning tag that said “Warning: Do Not Remove This Tag Under Penalty of Law”. Although they have softened the language a bit, there is still a warning. So why does anyone care if you remove the tag on your own pillow? This episode begins with an explanation. https://www.livescience.com/33039-why-do-mattresses-have-do-not-remove-tags.html

As important and natural as sleep is, it is a problem for almost everyone to either fall asleep or stay asleep at least some of the time. Fortunately, sleep is something that has been studied a lot. Joining me to share the latest research on how to improve your sleep is Aric Prather, a world renowned sleep scientist and author of the book The Sleep Prescription: Seven Days to Unlocking Your Best Rest (https://amzn.to/3OKZWC7). You may think you have heard all the sleep advice there is, but I assure you, you haven’t heard all of what Aric has to say. Listen and you could find yourself sleeping much better tonight. 

What makes someone assertive? Generally, those are the people who seem to know what they want and are able to communicate it clearly. Most of us have been in situations where we wish we were more assertive and said what was really on our mind, but we just weren’t able to do it. Here with some advice for everyone who would like to be more assertive is Randy Paterson author of The Assertiveness Handbook: How to Express Your Ideas and Stand Up for Yourself at Work and in Relationships (https://amzn.to/3GNDJ4C). 

Seldom does an employee complain that they get too much praise and recognition from their boss. The complaint is usually just the opposite. Yet if an employer is smart, he or she might want to be freer with praise and accolades for their workers when it deserved. Listen as I explain the benefits compliments and positive feedback for both employees and employers. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0048174
