YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

My guest this episode is Gina Poe, PhD, a professor in the Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). We discuss her research exploring how sleep impacts learning, memory, hormones and emotions. She shares tools to enhance your quality of sleep, increase deep sleep, rapid eye movement sleep and growth hormone release—key for health, immune function and vitality. Dr. Poe explains how a specific brain area, the locus coeruleus, facilitates the processing of emotions, helps relieve traumas and how to maximize locus coeruleus function. She also details sleep’s vital role in opiate addiction recovery and how anyone can determine their optimal sleep timing and duration. This episode is rich with basic science information and zero-cost tools to enhance the quality and effectiveness of sleep for the sake of mental health, physical health and performance.
