33 分钟We all know a good night’s sleep is essential, but for many people, sleeping well (or falling asleep at all) can be difficult and even stressful– and there’s no shortage of tales about what prevents people from catching their ZZZs. In this episode, Dr. Jen digs into ``how to sleep'' culture– from blue light blockers to sleep hygiene enthusiasts, to the 8 hours a night rule to… witches?! Don’t sleep on this episode–because it might just have you skipping the melatonin supplements and rethinking sleep rituals –before jumping into bed for a well-deserved snooze. This is an episode of Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective.

Hi, everyone.
Chris Duffy here.
As you know, how to be a better human is coming back at the end of June, and I'm so excited for our new season to premiere.
I cannot wait for you to hear these amazing conversations we've been having with people like tech writer Kevin Roose and comedian Maeve Higgins and so many other brilliant, incredible people about how to be a better human and be a little less terrible in our everyday lives.
For now, though, today we have an episode from another Ted audio collective podcast for you.
This one is body stuff with Doctor Jen Gunter.
I think that Jen is able to, in a really scientifically accurate way, break down so much of what is going on in health and medicine and what's going on in the research around our bodies and what we should be worried about and what we shouldn't be worried about and what we need to pay more attention to.
I just think she does it in an incredible way, and this episode is a perfect encapsulation of that.
This is an episode for anyone who is stressed that they might not be getting enough sleep, which is literally every single person I've ever met.
So enjoy it.
And to find more episodes like it, you can follow body stuff wherever you're.
Listening to this, I'm looking at my bedside table, and I have one, two of three eye masks.
I have some melatonin.
I have some zolpidem in case of emergencies.
I have a bag full of earplugs.
A fear to not be a great sleeper.
This is our editor, Sarah.
Lately, I wake up in the middle of the night and I lie in my bed and I think, am I sleeping?
Am I sleeping now?
