Are you sleeping enough to hustle at your best?

In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Michael Breus, also known as "The Sleep Doctor." He’s a Clinical Psychologist and a Sleep Medicine Expert who knows exactly how vital sleep is for entrepreneurs like us. Spoiler alert: it’s a game-changer for your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being.

Dr. Breus and I dove into some of the biggest myths about sleep that are holding so many of us back. Think you can thrive on 4 hours of sleep? Or that catching up on weekends actually works? Nope. He broke it all down, explaining how these common beliefs can mess with your performance and long-term health.
Sleep isn’t just about getting enough hours; it’s about getting quality hours. And trust me, there’s a big difference!

This episode isn’t just about what’s wrong with our sleep habits—it’s packed with actionable advice you can start. Here are some of my favorite tips from Dr. Breus:
Master your wake-up time - Consistency is key. Your body loves a routine.
Try simple breathing techniques - Even just 5 minutes of deep breathing can help you wind down faster.
Avoid tech before bed- Blue light from screens is the enemy of good sleep. Dr. Breus has tips for minimizing its effects.

We also talked about the role of technology and supplements in sleep. From melatonin to magnesium to CBD, Dr. Breus explained how these can help—but only if you truly understand what your body needs. Pro tip: don’t just reach for supplements without knowing your deficiencies.

Oh, and alcohol? Bad news for your REM cycle. But interestingly, there’s a surprising link between sexual activity and better sleep that you might want to explore.

This conversation with Dr. Breus was an absolute game-changer, and I know it will be for you too. If you’ve been sacrificing sleep for your hustle, it’s time to flip the script. Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for crushing your goals and staying happy while you hustle.

If you've been on a restricted diet lately or maybe even taken some meds to shed those pounds for the summer, I gotta warn ya—be careful! You might have unknowingly created a nutrient deficiency that could not only mess with your health but also jeopardize those weight loss goals.

Did you know that over 75% of Americans are already deficient in magnesium? Yeah, it's wild! Magnesium is this powerhouse mineral that's involved in over 600 biological reactions in your body. It helps with everything from sleep to stress management to hormone balance—all key players in keeping your weight on track.

And if you’re still on those meds, you might be dealing with some side effects like sleepless nights, digestive issues, or irritability, which can totally throw off your commitment to your goals. Whether you’re taking meds or not, setting up healthy habits is crucial to maintaining your weight over time. One of the best things you can do? Make sure you're getting all the magnesium your body needs.

Don’t let a magnesium deficiency derail your progress! Give Magnesium Breakthrough by BIOptimizers a shot. Unlike other supplements, this one’s got all 7 forms of magnesium that your body can actually absorb, so you get the full spectrum of benefits.
