Why You Can’t Sleep (Even When You’re Doing Everything Right)

Sleep is one of the most common problems in the clinic, and good eating and exercise don’t always fix it. This episode covers what poor sleep does to your immune system, hunger hormones, and blood sugar, how caffeine timing and its half-life work, why genetics and hormonal birth control change how long caffeine sticks around, and how perimenopause can disrupt sleep. Also: Kaylee and Sam’s own worst sleep seasons (med school and a mold problem), a morning and evening routine that holds up, and a real-or-hype round on sleepy girl mocktails, mouth taping, melatonin gummies, magnesium, sleep divorce, and sleep maxing.
