Good morning and welcome to Episode 048 of the Train Your Brain Podcast with Dr. Michael Trayford. Every Monday we produce a 30-minute episode. Tuesday through Sunday we produce episodes with five-minute tips. Every episode of the Train Your Brain Podcast features a tip, so you can receive pointers 365 days a year that will help enhance the performance of your brain!

In Episode 048, Dr. Trayford’s brain training tip focuses on promoting good sleep. Our brains need a few solid REM sleep cycles every night in order to process memories and function efficiently. If we have a pet in our bedroom, our sleep will be disrupted, whether or not we are deep sleepers. Train your pets to sleep through the night and give them their own space. This might be a difficult lifestyle change for those of us who love to let our pets cuddle up at night, but it is important.

If you have any concerns regarding the information and applications discussed in this podcast, please consult your physician and a doctor who is experienced in functional neurology. Michael Trayford DC, DACNB is available for consultation by calling (828) 708-5274. Thanks for listening. Continue reading →
