    Improving Sleep Quality for Better Health with Dr. Elie Gottlieb | The Mysteries of Dreaming, REM Sleep, The Impact of Substances on Sleep Quality & Strategies for Night Owls to Optimize Sleep

    Do you have a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling exhausted?  Sabrina Schielein sits down with Dr. Elie Gottlieb, Lead Applied Sleep Neuroscientist, to discuss the importance of sleep and debunk common myths about sleep and dreams.
