In this episode of Better For You, host Melanie Griffin welcomes board-certified psychiatrist and sleep medicine physician Dr. Nishi Bhopal for an eye-opening conversation on the life-changing power of quality sleep. Dr. Bhopal shares how her own experience with burnout during medical residency led her to explore integrative approaches like yoga, meditation, and nutrition—and how she now blends these with Western medicine to treat stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders.  From debunking the “8-hour rule” to explaining how poor sleep affects hormones, memory, blood pressure, and long-term brain health, Dr. Bhopal delivers practical tips that anyone can implement today. Learn why sleep is truly the CEO of your health, how stress creates “hyperarousal” that sabotages your rest, and what to do if you find yourself wide awake at 2 a.m.  Whether you’re struggling with insomnia, curious about naps, or just want to feel more refreshed, this episode is packed with actionable insights and encouragement. Plus, find out when to seek professional help—and why you shouldn’t wait.
