We talk a lot about productivity. We talk much less about the thing that powers it. In the latest episode of Building Belonging, host Mary Ellen E. LaRosa-Hart speaks with Dr. Angela Holliday-Bell, a board-certified physician and certified clinical sleep specialist. She founded The Solution is Sleep after developing insomnia during intense medical training, and she now helps people see sleep as foundational fuel rather than a luxury. Sleep affects executive function, decision-making, memory, reaction time, immunity, weight regulation, and emotional reactivity. That is a long list of things most of us rely on at work every day. This episode invites you to ask yourself: have I rested enough to do my best work?
