    TLAM S3 EP #1: Dr Dean Miller - Optimising Sleep for Performance and Health

    This episode sees Neil and Gary sit down with Dr Dean Miller (PHD) with the conversation focused on the importance of sleep for high performance and overall health, with an emphasis on aiming for 7-9 hours per night. We discuss different sleep patterns, the impact of wearable technology on tracking sleep, and the potential drawbacks of becoming obsessed with sleep data; an especially poignant note as Dr Dean is helping the Australian Olympic team in their preparation for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Dr Dean provides tips for optimising sleep routines, creating a sleep-friendly environment, and avoiding stimulating activities before bed. We also touch on the correlation between lack of sleep and mental health issues, emphasising the importance of seeking help from healthcare professionals if experiencing sleep difficulties. 00:00 - Introduction to episode and guest introduction 05:09 - Dr. Dean Miller's background and interest in sleep 09:19 - The importance of sleep quantity and quality 16:20 - Different sleep patterns and their impact 21:43 - The accuracy and usefulness of sleep-tracking technology 27:46 - The relationship between sleep and mental health 31:53 - Tips for improving sleep hygiene and routines 36:39 - The impact of caffeine and food on sleep 40:19 - Sleep strategies for athletes and post-training recovery 45:14 - The role of sleep in overall health and performance 51:10 - Seeking help for sleep issues and insomnia 55:34 - Sleep studies, sex, and closing remarks #SleepScience #HealthandPerformance #SleepMatters #MentalHealth #SleepTips #GoodNightSleep #SleepForPerformance #AthleteLife Hosted on Acast.
