Sleep Scientist and the co-author of Sleep for Success, Dr. Rebecca Robbins, has dedicated her life to researching sleep. She’s a frequent guest on TV shows such as The Today Show and CBS This Morning and has been featured in the New York Times, Financial Times, and Readers’ Digest. She worked as a “Sleep Consultant” for the Benjamin Hotel in New York, where she implemented a pillow menu and power nap kit for guests, and she also partners with the hotel brand Sonesta to offer guests a variety of ways to improve their sleep.
Together with Melissa, Dr. Robbins dives into the science behind sleep and reveals her fascinating research findings. She shares applicable techniques for improving sleep both at home and while traveling, and explains various methods to evade the dreaded jet lag. Melissa and Dr. Robbins also explore the exciting future of sleep tourism, as well as how we can learn better sleep practices from other cultures (including her experience with hygge in Scandinavia).
Melissa ends the episode with her personal tips for mastering jet lag after decades of international travel and long flights.
