  • The Ultimate Guide to Deep Sleep
    2025/04/02
    Ep. 68 You think you’re getting enough sleep, but if you are waking up groggy, unfocused, or constantly reaching for caffeine, it might not be the quantity of your sleep that’s off — it’s the quality. In this powerful episode of The Doze Podcast, certified sleep coach Soda Kuczkowski breaks down why deep sleep, the most restorative stage of the sleep cycle — is essential for feeling truly rested. Discover how deep sleep impacts your body—repairing tissues, boosting immunity, and balancing hormones. Plus, you will learn what is quietly sabotaging your deep sleep, how to build a sensory-rich sleep routine, and the truth behind common myths like the "nightcap." If you’re ready to wake up refreshed— this episode is your roadmap. What You’ll Learn: Why Deep Sleep Is Everything: From muscle repair to memory storage and emotional resilience What’s Disrupting You: Screens, schedules, sugar — and how to outsmart them Sensory Sleep Tools: How sound, scent, and weighted blankets can deepen your rest Eat, Move, Sleep: The deep connection between nutrition, movement, and quality sleep Debunking Sleep Myths: Why alcohol and “catching up” don’t actually help 💤 Ready to take your sleep to the next level?

"Adults typically spend 20- 25% of the night in deep sleep — usually in the first half of the night. But as we age, the amount of deep sleep we get naturally declines". "Caffeine can reduce deep sleep by up to 20%, and some of us are naturally slower at clearing it from our system". "Sleep isn’t just mental — it’s sensory. And there are some things you can do to induce deeper sleep".

  • Why Light Sleep Does More Than You Think—Here’s Why You Need It
    2025/03/26
    Ep. 67 In this myth-busting episode, sleep coach Soda Kuczkowski sets the record straight on one of the most misunderstood topics in sleep health— the deep sleep obsession. While deep sleep is essential, it’s not the only stage that matters. Soda dives into the powerful, unsung benefits of light and REM sleep, including how light sleep supports brain detox, emotional balance, and metabolic health. She also explains why waking during the night is completely normal, and how to manage those wake-ups without spiraling into frustration or anxiety. You will walk away with a fresh perspective on what quality sleep really looks like—and how to support all stages of your sleep cycle, not just one. What's Inside? Why light sleep is critical: It supports brain cleansing, stress regulation, and energy balance. How REM sleep boosts you: It enhances creativity, emotional resilience, and memory consolidation. The truth about nighttime awakenings: They’re a normal, natural part of the sleep cycle—not something to fear. How to create a sleep-friendly environment: Support smoother transitions between stages with simple changes. Practical tools that help: Use proven strategies to reduce stress and fall back asleep with greater ease. Notable Quotes: "Sleep isn't just one continuous state. It's a dynamic, ever-changing process where your body cycles through four key stages multiple times per night." "Waking up briefly during the night is completely normal.” "Without enough light sleep, your entire sleep cycle becomes unstable, making it harder to reach and sustain the deep and REM sleep your body and brain rely on."
