Overview
Ā
If youāre like most people, the relentless daily grind of go-go-go, do-do-do, can run down your energy and deplete your resources. While most of us find our lives full of āUpstateā moments that rev up our stress engines, it doesnāt have to be this way. World-renowned sleep researcher Sara C. Mednick, PhD, shows us how we can access the most replenishing and repairing aspects of sleep through activities and moments that happen during our day by diving into our āDownstate.ā Dr. Mednick shows that bringing ourselves back to the Downstate is critical for our health, well-being, and cognitive longevity.
Ā
Drawing on her original findingsāand those of others across many fields of medicineāDr. Mednick creates a comprehensive picture of the Upstate/Downstate rhythms that orchestrate all of our bodiesā vital systems, along with a novel theory that aging is caused by spending less and less time in Downstate activities. The Power of the DownstateĀ offers practical, evidence-based insight into how we can all enable those systems to work together in better harmony. Youāll learn:
- How our bodies and minds are guided by a natural Upstate/Downstate rhythmāand how our modern lifestyles disrupt these rhythms to our detriment;
- How our vital organs and systems benefit from spending more time in the Downstate ā Ā which decreases the risk for Alzheimerās disease, chronic illness, and early death;
- How we can activate the Downstate through rethinking how to breathe, eat, sleep and exercise; and
- The practical four-week Downstate RecoveryPlus Plan.
