In this episode of Beyond Clinical Walls, Dr. Curry-Winchell, or Dr. BCW, dedicates her discussion to National Sleep Month, emphasizing the importance of adequate sleep and its relation to health, particularly heart health. She shares that one in three adults don’t get the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep, increasing the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, and weight gain. Dr. BCW offers personal insights on planning sleep schedules, creating calming environments with dim lights and chamomile tea, and unwinding with music or a magazine instead of screens. She advocates for sleep as a critical component of overall health and well-being.
