Sleep Science: Mouth Taping, Melatonin & How to Sleep Better with Dr. Michael Breus

We’ve all heard time and time again how important sleep is to our health. But no one really tells us how to become better sleepers, what to do if and when our sleep changes, and which supplements and hacks are worth trying. Chelsea gets all the answers to our sleeping questions from Dr. Michael Breus, who has been bringing science-backed sleep expertise to the public for nearly three decades. He’s a double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist with a podcast called “Better in Bed” releasing this fall. They discuss mouth taping, lettuce water, melatonin, sleep chronotypes, and why we all wake up around 2am. Plus, does warm milk really make you sleepy?
