BodyClock Podcast

I’m interested in your research. I find your ideas interesting, and I am experimenting with your app to see if it will work for me. Respectfully, with regard to the discussion about limiting time on cell phones, it seems none of you actually have a child whose time you attempted to limit. During a pandemic. With virtual school. I heard a great academic argument. As a parent/stepparent of 5, I find your ideas on limiting screen time very shallow, particularly as it pertains to teens. Another thing to bear in mind regarding the use of technology & adults is the pressure for entrepreneurs & anyone with clients to be accessible 24 hours per day. Add to that the pressure within the business community to create online content across 4 or 5 platforms to advertise or create a value-add for customers & clients. It’s impossible to create high-quality content unless you’re familiar with the platforms. Pile on to that the fact that these platforms are how we connect to our family and friends, in a society where families are fractured and and highly mobile. It would be easier to have this conversation if you would stop saying things like “parents are GUILTY of” this/that/etc. These are amoral actions. Stop making this a judgment on parenting, especially on working parents and entrepreneur parents, especially if you have no personal experience trying to balance these responsibilities. Parents get enough uninvited shame poured out on them. It’s also odd to hear how much you think people should NOT use their phones and leave social media, when your product is a phone app that you want users to be looking any and fine-tuning frequently throughout the day. To top it off, your app has a Beta version of yet another type of social media. I almost didn’t download this app because of the chat aspect of it. I don’t need more distraction and I don’t need yet another inbox or more people demanding my time and attention. So I have found this podcast episode lovely from an aspirational viewpoint, and quite hypocritical from a practical viewpoint.

Time management is something we all take for granted. How we spend our day is the most important factor to our health in my opinion and it’s refreshing to hear experts in the field take action to talk about the facts and reasons why we should care about our body clocks.

A great podcast with a lot of useful lifestyle advice backed up by current scientific research in circadian rhythms.

Owaves podcast is very informative, especially in regards to how circadian rhythms can affect health and overall wellbeing. Highly recommend to those looking for more information on how help balance a busy lifestyle with your healt endeavors!
