Professor Russell Foster Rethinks the Rules of Sleep","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":3515,"description":"We spend around a third of our lives asleep, yet for so many of us, getting a good night’s sleep can feel like a real struggle. Could our homes hold some of the answers to sleeping better?\nIn this conversation, leading sleep expert and Oxford Professor of Circadian Neuroscience Russell Foster rethinks the rules of sleep and explores how we can create a home environment that supports our natural rhythms. \nWe discuss why getting outside in the morning is one of the best things we can do for sleep, how to navigate a partner's different sleeping habits and why sleep trackers often do more harm than good.\nBut perhaps the most reassuring idea of all is that we need to stop trying so hard. As Russell points out, the more we worry about sleep, the more elusive it can become. Sometimes the best thing we can do is create the right conditions and let it take care of itself.\n\nPlease note: the views expressed in this episode are those of the guest and are not intended as medical advice.\nTo hear more from us:\n\nPatreon: Watch exclusive home tours, HomingWithMatt\nYouTube: Subscribe to our channel, Homing with Matt\nInstagram: Follow for updates and announcements, @homingwithmatt\nContact: Email us at hello@mattgibberd.com\n\nMatt Gibberd’s book, A Modern Way to Live, is available here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/320176/a-modern-way-to-live-by-gibberd-matt/9780241480496\n\nMusic by @simeonwalkermusic\nIdentity & design by @lena.winkler.creative.office\nProduced by @podshoponline","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jfhTOve5zkBU-4TRtFPERWb8yNLRKVKLKahjrWvoDdk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNWNk/YTE1NTI1ZWQ0NjI1/MTBhNDlkOWY1ZTU1/OGM1YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
