Sleep Isn’t Optional: Expert Tips for Pr...

Rebecca Olson
About this episode

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m joined by sleep expert Terry Cralle to talk about why sleep isn’t a luxury - it’s a biological necessity. If you’ve ever pushed bedtime later just to get one more thing done, this conversation is going to challenge everything you thought you knew about productivity, ambition, and rest. Terry and I dive into the science of sleep, the myths we’ve believed about functioning on less, and practical ways to finally make sleep a true priority in your life. 

Topics in this episode:

  • Why 99% of adults need 7–9 hours of sleep—and what really happens when we cut corners 
  • How sleep deprivation impacts mood, decision-making, productivity, and long-term health 
  • Simple, practical sleep hygiene habits 
  • Why ambitious women in particular struggle with racing minds at night—and how to calm them 
  • Reframing sleep as the ultimate productivity tool (not a guilty pleasure)
