The Venn Dialogues
Join Christine & Jacoby, weekly, as they discuss a wide-range of topics they find interesting. The pair will give their perspective on the topic of the week and then look at the research, facts and literature associated with the topic to see if it expands the conversation. These topics will create a dialogue that encourages our listeners to learn more about the world and ourselves. Listen weekly to find out how you can add to the conversation. Follow us at Venn.Dialogues on Instagram and at VennDialoguePod on X (formerly known as twitter).
The Venn Dialogues
Catching Z's
Welcome back to the Venn Dialogues, this week we talk about sleep. We explore the stages of sleep, the ways one can get sleep and what type of chronotype someone may be. We talk about how much sleep is enough and when you may want to be concerned you are not getting enough. We even take a stroll through history to understand how we have come to sleep the way we do. Come to learn and laugh along the way.

Challenge: Evaluate your sleep habits. If you have any sleep concerns, go to your GCP or your dentist to see if maybe a sleep study should be considered.
