Prioritize Sleep | FSTT015

From Surviving To Thriving

Sleep is both one of the most essential physiological needs and one of the most ignored. Because it's easy to ignore, it severely impacts your life in many different ways. We'll dive deep into why you must make sleep a priority and how you can help set yourself up for better quality sleep.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why sleep is a lesser-known key in Maslow's hierarchy
• What is sleep debt, and why is a lack of sleep considered a carcinogen?
• My "three weeks of hell" and what I learned
• How to put your mind and body into the best position for quality sleep.

About the Host:

Ray Bourcier - Stay-at-home father, husband, author, podcaster

A college and university environmental science graduate, Ray grew up in a toxic family and a toxic situation in Northern Ontario, Canada. As a result, he experienced the first of many PTSD events at age five, which would begin his nearly three-decade struggle with anxiety and depression.

Spending most of his life in survival mode without support, he eventually discovered and developed ways to overcome his struggles when nothing else worked.

With a passion for helping others, he made it his mission to help transform the lives and impact the worlds of eleven million people so they too can give their best to themselves, their loved ones, and their career.

An ancient Chinese proverb that Ray loves states, "To know the road ahead, ask those coming back." Ray is on the road back to offer you the support you need every step on your journey so that you, too, will be on the same road back. Ray believes that only those who've walked that road can truly understand the struggles that you go through.

Together, we will become the rising tide that lifts all boats.

Together, we are unstoppable.

In his off time, you can find Ray spending time with his daughter, reading books, watching hockey, and contemplating whether pineapple belongs on pizza.
