Sleep On It

Political Scientist Professor from the University of Wisconsin - Madison Yoshiko Herrera joins Maggie to discuss Donald Trump's Ukraine/Russia foreign policy. It's been quite a ride in! The lack of pressure on Russia doesn't stop Russia. It leads to more fighting. The prospect of war in the US is remote. The prospect of war in Europe, however, is not remote. Plus, Dr. Deepa Burman, Pediatric Sleep Medicine Specialist from the University of Pittsburgh, joins Maggie to help us adjust to the time change. Both kids and adults can have trouble adapting to moving our clocks forward. Dr. Burman says pushing up our bedtime just a few minutes leading up to the change can help us regulate our sleep schedule. She also says there is definitely a correlation between screen time and trouble sleeping. Dr. Burman also encourages us to try and be consistent with our sleep schedule. It's easier said than done! For better sleep, here is what Dr. Burman suggests: Consistency is key, shut off the screens 30-45 minutes before bed, get morning bright light, and dim the lights at night.
