0:31.0

Welcome back to the quarter of the day show I'm your host Sean Crox and a

0:34.7

Sean Crox and calm. We've got my main man, Dr. Michael Bruce, also known as the

0:40.4

sleep doctor on the show today. This guy is super cool. He reached out to me. He

0:45.8

was like, Hey, man, I got a book coming out. Can you help me out with that? I was

0:49.2

like, absolutely, because he's such a good dude in this talk is amazing. I think

0:54.2

it's going to change your mind about sleep in general. His new book is out
