Why do you wake up at 3:30 AM and can't fall back asleep? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Michael Breus, the Sleep Doctor, says it’s not your fault. 

We unpack the science of why everyone wakes up between 1-3 AM, the shocking Alzheimer's connection to Benadryl, and why CBN (not CBD) is the cannabis compound that actually helps sleep. Plus: the truth about melatonin, why magnesium beats most sleep aids, and the supplement deficiencies sabotaging your rest.

Dr. Michael Breus is a clinical psychologist and one of only 168 psychologists in the world board-certified in sleep medicine. Known as "The Sleep Doctor," he's the author of five books including Sleep, Drink, Breathe and has treated celebrities from Carson Daly to Paris Hilton to DJ Steve Aoki.

What we discuss:

  • Why every human wakes up between 1-3 AM

  • The 4-7-8 breathing technique Navy SEALs use to lower heart rate below 60

  • Yoga nidra gives you 20 minutes of sleep benefit for every hour of rest

  • Regular Benadryl/ZzzQuil use directly linked to Alzheimer's disease

  • CBD does nothing for sleep. What actually reduces nighttime awakenings

  • The three deficiencies destroying your sleep

  • Why melatonin affects birth control, SSRIs, and is NOT for children

  • Natural alternatives to melatonin

The Truth About Natalie

The Truth About Natalie

By shows

Twenty-seven-year-old Natalie Jones vanished after a July 4th lake party in Alabama in 2020. Ninety-three days later, her car and her remains were found in a rural Georgia field. No arrest. No clear answer. No closure for the family left behind.The official theory was an accidental overdose. But a negative toxicology report, a drug baggie with no fingerprints, and a phone that never left Natalie's hand — one that’s still missing — tell a different story. Shortly before her death, Natalie had begun speaking out about the men in her life: a bitter ex-husband, an alleged childhood abuser, a lover tied to drug trafficking. Host Sean Kipe investigates what happened to Natalie Jones. Was it an overdose? An accident? Or something the people closest to her have been protecting for years?
