Getting enough sleep is critical for the body’s healing and
recovery process. All the benefits we hope to gain from good
nutrition, diet, and exercise won’t make that much difference on
our health if we are sleep-deprived. When we talk about sleep, we
mean the “good” or “deep” kind of sleep that offers optimum
health benefits. In this episode, Dr. Jockers shares a clear
picture of how a low-quality sleep looks compared to a good
quality, deep sleep. He explains what REM sleep is, how it is
achieved, and the factors that need to be addressed that are
impacting the quality of our sleep.


 


“Deep sleep is really important for physical repair. REM
sleep is when really deep detoxification of the brain
occurs.”


- Dr. David Jockers
