You can’t brute-force sleep at 11 p.m. if your day kept your nervous system on high alert. In this episode, Dr. Anita Haque is joined by Dr. Christine Dao, acupuncturist and functional medicine expert, to map the real levers that turn scattered nights into steady deep sleep—and the surprising ways one restless evening can disrupt glucose regulation, raise pain sensitivity, and cloud memory the very next day.

Walk away with a simple plan: change one habit, track the effect, and let the data guide your next move. If this helped you think differently about sleep, subscribe, share with a friend who needs better rest, and leave a quick review so we can reach more listeners looking for real recovery.
