Sleep series part 1: The hidden cost of disrupted sleep and why it's a litmus test for self worth
Mar 24, 2025
How often do you sacrifice sleep for something “more important”?
In Episode 7 of Master Stress with Dr. S, we uncover the real cost of disrupted sleep—and why it’s more than just feeling tired. Sleep is not just a biological need; it’s a litmus test for self-worth.
In this episode, we explore:
✔️ Why so many of us know sleep is vital but still don’t prioritise it.
✔️ The science of sleep—including sleep cycles and chronotypes.
✔️ How societal norms and self-worth beliefs shape our sleep habits.
✔️ The hidden consequences of sleep deprivation on health and performance.
✔️ Why improving your sleep is an act of self-respect, not self-indulgence.
Through real-life patient stories and personal insights, this episode challenges you to rethink your relationship with sleep—and sets the stage for evidence-based techniques in the next instalment of the Sleep Series.
