Rituals helps you to slow down, take the time to relax, and find a moment of peace in your busy day. In the podcast series ’The Art of Sleep’ you learn from a variety of experts how you can improve and induce restful sleep. Join Dagmar Brusse, Creative Director at Rituals, and host Christopher Chambers on their journey of discovery into the world of sleep. In this episode we learn from Dr. Sophie Bostock about the different kinds of sleep phases we’re going through each night and what the function is of each phase. Sophie is a sleep expert, TEDx speaker and founder of TheSleepScientist.com, a website that makes the science of sleep accessible to everyone.  Roger Ekirch is a professor of history at Virginia Tech, in the United States. He studied our attitude towards sleep over the past centuries and found surprising insights into how our sleep routines developed. Don’t speak English?
