Welcome to a very practical episode of the Crackin Backs Podcast with Dr. Amy Athey, where we're pulling back the covers on a subject near and dear to everyone: SLEEP.

We spend roughly a third of our lives doing it, yet for many, a good night's sleep remains a mystery. Dr. Athey takes a "real-world approach," shedding light on everything from the significance of 8-hour sleep cycles to strategies for when this isn't feasible.

Remember when napping was a joyous part of the day? We're bringing it back with a discussion on the benefits and optimal timing for a healthy midday nap.

Explore the positives and negatives of sleep-tracking technology, and gain insights into common sleep concerns like insomnia, sleep apnea, social jet lag, and the role of sleep in pain management and injury rehab.

We'll also look into the future of sleep studies and the habits you can adopt today for a more rested tomorrow.
