How To Fall In Love with Sleep | Tara Youngblood
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Unlock the life-changing power of sleep in this eye-opening episode of The Inspired Yogi! Host sits down with sleep expert Tara Youngblood, who turned personal tragedy and sleepless nights into a deep scientific quest spanning ancient wisdom (Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine) and modern neuroscience.
Discover why sleep is the ultimate investment in your health, creativity, emotional resilience, and cognitive performance — far more powerful than most people realize. Tara reveals how sleep literally washes your brain, clears Alzheimer's-linked proteins, processes memories, and unlocks problem-solving superpowers (even Thomas Edison used a version of this!).
Learn practical, personalized strategies that actually work: the surprising truth about the “sleep switch,” why cooling your body is essential, the best (and worst) mattress/pillow materials, when melatonin helps versus hurts, the magic of Yoga Nidra, lucid dreaming for trauma and performance, magnesium’s role, morning routines for better nights, and how to fall in love with sleep instead of stressing about it.
Whether you’re a chronic short sleeper, struggle with racing thoughts, travel often, or simply want to wake up refreshed and unstoppable, this conversation delivers actionable insights you can start using tonight.
Fall in love with sleep again — your brain and body will thank you.
Listen now and transform your nights (and days).
