Show by Avanish Srinivasan
What if your brain is still working almost as hard during sleep as when you are awake?And what actually happens when you do not get enough sleep?In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Dean Burnett, neuroscientist and bestselling author of The Idiot Brain and The Happy Brain, to break down the science of sleep, stress, and burnout.We explore what sleep is actually doing for the brain, why sleep deprivation leads to cognitive breakdown, and how stress builds up into burnout over time. Dr. Burnett explains why sleep is essential for memory, why “sleep debt” is not easily fixed, and how chronic stress physically affects the brain.This episode offers a clear understanding of how your brain handles sleep, stress, and performance, and what happens when those systems are pushed too far.Hosted by Avanish Srinivasan.
