Ep 155: The Importance of Sleep in Your Clutter Free Life with Terry Cralle, RN

Do you get enough sleep? If you're like most busy parents, the answer is no.

It's perfectly understandable to see why our sleep suffers - families take a lot of time, energy, and effort to nurture and grow. Add in adult responsibilities like working, social commitments, and activities and it’s easy to see why most of us pull back on our sleep when our schedules get full.

But, my expert guest is here to tell us why we should be working backwards and start with making sure we’re getting enough sleep. When we’re well rested the other pieces in our lives just fit together better and we get to be the better versions of ourselves we’re striving to be.

As a Registered Nurse, Certified Clinical Sleep Educator, Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality and Certified in Clinical Sleep Health, Terry Cralle has devoted much of her career to sleep health and wellness.

An author, sleep health advocate, and co-founder of a four-bed sleep disorders center, Terry serves as a national consultant and speaker to a large number of organizations and clients. She also serves on the Board of Directors for Start School Later, Inc. and the Advisory Board for the American Sleep Association.

She holds Bachelors’ degrees in sociology and nursing and a Master’s in healthcare management. Terry is the co-author of the book, Sleeping Your Way to the Top as well as a children’s book Snoozby and the Great Big Bedtime Battle.

Terry clearly knows a thing or two about the importance of sleep!
