Dr. Gina Poe has spent nearly four decades studying the science of sleep, and how we can all get a better night\u2019s rest by making some simple changes in our lives. In this episode Poe dives deep into what she\u2019s learned about sleep during her career, including the stages of sleep, why you\u2019re waking up in the middle of the night, why some people remember their dreams, the best bedtime routines, and the real-life consequences when you miss a night\u2019s sleep. \xa0 Dr. Poe is a professor of Integrative Biology and Physiology at UCLA, where she is also the Director of the school\u2019s Sleep and Memory Laboratory, which investigates the mechanisms by which sleep traits serve learning and memory consolidation.\xa0
