S3 E18: Melatonin and Sleep: Your Body’s Natural Sleep Signal

Are you struggling to fall asleep? Or waking up groggy and wondering why? In this episode, executive function coach Mary Turns breaks down the science of melatonin, the hormone your brain produces to regulate your sleep-wake cycles.

Mary explains what melatonin actually is and how it’s produced. In addition, you'll learn:

- How light, especially screens and LEDs, impacts your melatonin levels

- What happens when your sleep cycle is disrupted

- Why supplements aren’t always the magic fix (and what to do instead)

As well as simple, practical steps to support your body’s natural sleep rhythm.

Whether you’re a night owl, shift worker, or just want better sleep hygiene, this episode will help you understand how to work with your biology, not against it.
