Bonus: The power of sleep

Episode Summary

The podcast concludes a month-long series focused on women creators and dreamers throughout history. Sleep and rest are critical to fueling creativity and generating "aha" moments. The theme "Dreamers" was chosen intentionally, as the women featured were dreamers both figuratively and literally. Quality sleep helps reorder the brain and view things from new perspectives. Casper mattresses sponsored this podcast series because their products aim to provide the rest people need for optimal creativity. Casper believes sleep-fueled creativity can change the world. The podcast host thanks Casper for sponsoring the series and provides a promo code for $100 off select Casper mattresses. The creative process does not have to involve sleep deprivation. Good sleep habits lead to more of those sparkling moments of inspiration, as studies show. Rest is vital to the success of innovators like the groundbreaking women featured throughout the month.

SPEAKER_00: ["Womannica Theme Song"] From Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan. Welcome back to Encyclopedia Womannica. This month, we've examined just a small portion of the astonishingly impressive women creators throughout history. ["Summertime"] SPEAKER_05: I've been trying to paint all scenes. SPEAKER_04: I suppose because I'm bald. The stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I'm a woman. Phenomenally. SPEAKER_00: There's a myth that the creative process has to involve sleepless nights and exhaustion. For some people, that may feel true. But as we've talked about throughout the month, sleep is vitally important to success. Studies show that getting a good night's sleep leads to more of those moments when something just clicks. Those sorts of aha moments have led incredible women like the ones we've featured to do amazing work since the beginning of history. Sleep reorders your brain and lets you look at things from a new perspective. We called the theme for this month Dreamers on purpose. The women we featured were dreamers in all senses of the word. This month of Encyclopedia Womannica was sponsored by Casper. That makes sense because Casper mattresses have helped more than a million people get the rest they need.
