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
