Chasing the Cure: The Hype, Hope, and Hard Truths of Sleep Optimization

Sleep has become the latest trend to optimize, leading to "Sleepy Girl Mocktails," expensive wearables, and pressure to achieve a "perfect" score. But for those suffering from chronic insomnia, like host Alicia C. Simpson, this hype can feel like another source of stress.


Drawing on her nearly two decades of personal struggle with insomnia, Alicia cuts through the noise to deliver the essential truths about sleep health.


What You Will Learn and Why You Should Listen:

  • The Non-Negotiable Science: We dive into the profound benefits of sleep—from memory consolidation (the glymphatic system) to hormonal balance (ghrelin/leptin) and immune function—and the severe health risks of chronic sleep deprivation.
  • Fact vs. Fiction: We break down popular trends like the Sleepy Girl Mocktail (Magnesium and Tart Cherry) and wearable sleep trackers, explaining their limited scientific basis and potential to cause orthosomnia (anxiety about sleep performance).
  • The Foundation of Sleep Hygiene: Learn the critical, free steps (strict schedule, light and temperature management) that form the only true basis for consistent rest.
  • The Hard Truth About Chronic Insomnia: Alicia shares her experience with everything from hypnosis to medication and explains why, if hygiene fails, the solution is not an over-the-counter fix.


The Essential Takeaway: When should you stop buying expensive gadgets and reach out to a specialist? We discuss the need for a professional team, including a Psychiatrist, Neuro-Psychiatrist, Sleep Clinic, and specialized CBT-I Therapist to diagnose and treat underlying sleep disorders.

Stop chasing the quick fix. Tune in to find the evidence-based path to lasting rest.
