| 0:00.0 | And session number 18 with special guest, Dr. Michael Bruce, author of The Power of When. |
| 0:05.1 | Here's what's coming up. |
| 0:06.7 | They can't fall asleep and they look at the clock. |
| 0:09.7 | About the worst thing that you can possibly do is look at the clock because you instantly do the mental math. |
| 0:15.6 | That 75% of people report that the reason that they have sex in the evening is due to proximity. |
| 0:21.0 | It seems like a time when you should do it. |
| 0:22.7 | I can't actually think of a worse time because your testosterone is low, progesterone is low, |
| 0:26.7 | estrogen is low, and melatonin is high. |
| 0:29.3 | Brush your tea, hop back in bed. |
| 0:31.6 | Saturday morning sex is good for literally almost everyone. |
| 0:35.9 | Sleep is a lot like love. |
| 0:40.3 | The less you look for it, the more it ends up showing up. Yo, what's up, I your host, Sean Croxton. Thank you so much for tuning in. Today's content is so fascinating because the book was fascinating. It's called The Power of When by Dr. Michael Bruce. This show is all about sleep. As you know, as you may know, late last year, I made a commitment to host an online event |
| 1:14.4 | called the sleep sessions where we talk about insomnia and all kind of sleep-related health |
| 1:18.7 | challenges and natural solutions for those. |
| 1:21.7 | However, I then made a decision to move away from the health space and start getting into |
| 1:26.9 | more personal development. And so when it came time to actually start planning the sleep sessions, I reached out to Dr. Michael Bruce and said, hey, you want to be part of it and be, you know, a guest expert? He was like, oh, I was thinking about doing my own sleep summit this year. And I was like, oh, well, I guess we'll both do one and we'll support each other and all that stuff. |
| 1:44.5 | And then at some point, I came to my census and I said, hey, there doesn't need to be two sleep sessions, two sleep summits. |
| 1:52.8 | Let's just have Dr. Michael Bruce do his. |
| 1:54.9 | And I can spend that time working on my personal development stuff and studying and writing as I'm doing right now. And so |
| 2:02.1 | it all kind of worked out. And so his sleep success summit is coming up on August 8th. It runs for a |
| 2:08.5 | week. And there's a whole lineup of 35 speakers. And I know you're going to love it. You can learn more |
| 2:12.7 | about that over at free sleep success summit.com. And Dr. Bruce's book, The Power of Win, again, is super fascinating. |
