If You Want To Be More Productive, You Need More Rest. Here's How To Get It. | Claudia Hammond

A roadmap for a more balanced life.

Claudia Hammond is an award-winning broadcaster, author, and psychology lecturer. In her work she shares the ways that psychological and medical research can help us in our everyday lives, whether through radio, TV, podcasts, public events or books.

This episode is part of our ongoing Get Fit Sanely series.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How to define rest
  • The health risks of fatigue
  • Why your rest is more effective if you don't feel guilty about it
  • Why watching TV is so restful (in moderation)
  • Why taking breaks shouldn't be considered a reward
  • How to create your own personal prescription for rest
  • Why a "resting state" for the brain is actually quite active
  • The restful act of daydreaming (when it doesn't lead to ruminating)
  • Heat therapies for reduced cortisol levels
  • Why some forms of movement and exercise can be restful
  • The #1 most restful activity based on her research
  • And practical advice for incorporating more rest into your busy life

Paid subscribers of DanHarris.com will have exclusive access to a set of all-new guided meditations, led by friend of the show Cara Lai, customized to accompany each episode of the Get Fit Sanely series. We're super excited to offer a way to help you put the ideas from the episodes into practice. Learn all about it here.
