Welcome to the Shalene show. Shalene is a New York Times best-selling author celebrity fitness trainer and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

People who are regular listeners to the Shalene show know that sleep has become my

Issue even though I'm considered a health expert and I've talked about sleep. It's a kryptonite. Yeah, but I was a sleep liar

I was a white liar. So I would tell people I went to bed at 10

or 930 and that I woke up every day around 430 but the truth was I was going into my bedroom

at 930 or 10 wiggle room

Awesome. Wiggle and not fun asleep until sometimes midnight 1230 then waking up at 430 and that was in what I considered a healthy

Stage of my life when I was in what I like to call stressed success and

Operating as an entrepreneur who believed I could save money if I did everything myself

I told myself I don't need sleep because I wake up fine

So I'm fun. I feel great on two or three hours because I'm a pretty high energy person things are start breaking down

They did yeah, yeah, I don't even know the story, but I know the story. Yeah, and that's exactly what happened

and

So I was in that stress success mode where I was getting like two three four five maybe four hours of sleep and

Then I fixed it and was getting like maybe five hours asleep. Maybe how long was that how long did I do that for about 20 years?

You are a mutant

My thinking was I must be different

I'm one of those people who doesn't need much sleep and I will make up for it later or I'll just give Botox or whatever and

Then I started having a lot of issues. I started being very irritable

Which I know you talk about we could talk about that too

We need to have all of us. Yeah, but here's why it became an issue for me because one of the reasons why I wanted to bring you on the show

Because everybody knows they need sleep. Yeah everybody. That's like everyone knows any exercise
