Today, I am blessed to have here with me Mollie McGlocklin. Mollie is on a mission to change the conversation around sleep. This podcast originally aired on June 18th 2021. She is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, a company that optimizes how people sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. Her obsession with sleep came after “scratching her own itch” when her lifelong poor sleep habits progressed to a challenging bout of insomnia. With a background in psychology & human behavior, she went deep down the rabbit hole to solve her sleep disturbances. She became fascinated with chronobiology, and by extension, its practical applications to restore a state of homeostasis to sleep. For the past three years, she’s traveled the world testing sleep quality in different environments across the globe. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without; she’s dedicated to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. In this episode, Mollie opens the show by explaining why she is at the forefront of the sleep renaissance. After suffering from insomnia and getting prescribed sleep medication, Mollie needed to figure out what else she could do to fix the root issue. Mollie explains what you can do if you are currently taking a sleep medication. Luckily, there are many ways to train your circadian rhythm and get consistent sleep daily. Tune in as Mollie explains why sleep will help on your weight loss journey and improve cognitive performance, and she reveals practical sleep tips that you can utilize today. 90 Day Detox Program with Ben Azadi, Dr Mindy Pelz, Dr Daniel Pompa & other detox specialists.

It wasn’t until Mollie went through a period of insomnia that she knew something needed to change. After learning about chronobiology, circadian rhythm optimization, structuring the day, and how it could make a difference with her sleep, it absolutely changed the course that Mollie was on. After learning all this cool stuff about sleep, it’s all that Mollie could talk about. So, she organically started helping people that were struggling with their sleep. [06:30] What To Do If You Are Currently Taking A Sleep Medication There are so many elements that can certainly impact our sleep results. Environmental is one of the most significant changes that we can make. We need to learn about the management of our environment from the moment we wake up until we go to bed. You can train your circadian rhythm and strengthen it. When you train your circadian rhythm, you will be able to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. Consistency is critical for overall sleep hygiene. [12:00] How Sleep Plays A Role In Your Weight Loss Journey If you’re not sleeping well, glucose levels are oscillating at a higher level.
