Getting eight hours of sleep but still waking up exhausted? Maybe you’ve tried magnesium, going to bed earlier, even banishing your snoring partner to the spare room (yep, that’s officially called a “sleep divorce”). And you’re still tired. Turns out, some of your best efforts to sleep better might actually be making things worse. In this episode, sleep physician Dr. Akudo Anokwute explains why going to bed earlier can backfire, the sleep position that could be sabotaging your rest, and the sneaky signs of sleep apnea, especially in women.

Plus, Dr. Anokwute gives her verdict on popular sleep trends including mouth taping, magnesium, sleep scores, and more. References EP. 168. Tired, Hungry, and Stuck?
