You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of The FEEL Podcast, Melissa sits down with Nathalie Walton, General Manager at BetterSleep, to explore why quality sleep is one of the most overlooked foundations of overall health and well-being. Nathalie shares her personal experience with postpartum sleep apnea and anemia, along with her young son's unexpected sleep apnea diagnosis, challenging the misconception that sleep disorders only affect certain people. Together, they discuss why chronic fatigue is often dismissed, how women and children are frequently overlooked in sleep disorder diagnoses, and why advocating for yourself can lead to life-changing answers. Whether you're dealing with brain fog, low energy, poor sleep quality, or simply want to improve your overall health, this conversation offers practical insights to help you understand what your body may be trying to tell you. ✨ In This Episode: Why you can feel exhausted even after 8 hours of sleep Common signs and symptoms of sleep apnea Why women and children are often underdiagnosed The connection between sleep, mental health, and physical wellness How postpartum health and anemia can affect sleep The importance of self-advocacy in healthcare How sleep tracking can uncover important health patterns Practical sleep hygiene, meditation, and relaxation strategies for better rest 💡 Key Takeaway: Sleep is not a luxury—it's essential to your physical, mental, and emotional health. Persistent fatigue, snoring, and poor-quality sleep shouldn't be ignored. Prioritizing restorative sleep and seeking answers when something feels off can have a profound impact on your overall well-being. 💬 Ways to Engage: Take a closer look at your own sleep habits this week. Try tracking your sleep, noting how you feel each morning, and writing down any questions or concerns to discuss with your healthcare provider.
