Okay, let's talk about sleep. We've all had those mornings when you wake up feeling like you need a gallon of coffee just to survive the first like 30 minutes of the day.

Today, I put together a special compilation of some of my favorite conversations over the past year or two to help you stop the struggle and actually wake up feeling ready to crush your day.

First of all, we're going to be looking at why just like logging hours in bed isn't the whole story. It's more about quality over quantity. So I'm going to break down the difference between sleep that repairs your muscles and the stuff that fixes your brain and your mood. I'm also going to share my 8 and 6 framework, which is my system for getting the restorative power of 8 hours in only 6 hours every night. I'm also bringing in Alex Nice to talk about a strategy that sounds a little bit weird, but is a total game changer, something that I've been using for the past couple years that I love mouth taping. It looks crazy, but it can definitely help you stop snoring and wake up feeling like a teenager again. I've been doing this for a long time. I stopped for a while, and then I noticed a massive difference when I went back to it. Then after that, we're bringing in Jill McCrae and Lori Oliver. They're going to talk about tackling those annoying 2 a.m. wake-up calls where your brain starts spinning a million miles an hour. You start thinking about what kind of suspenders you're going to be wearing tomorrow. We're going to go over some simple resets to help get you back to sleep and discuss

how hitting your sleep numbers might be the magic trick that makes fat loss start feeling

effortless again. So if you're ready to stop tossing and turning and finally become unstoppable

in bed, let's do this. Deep sleep, that is going to encompass a lot of physical recovery.

It's going to do a lot of muscle repair.

It's going to really improve your immune function.

It is going to increase your gut health.

It is a very integral part of your body's natural restorative mechanisms.

So it's like, how do you recover from a hard workout?

You need more deep sleep. So when I talk to a do you recover from a hard workout? You need more

deep sleep. So when I talk to a lot of guys, especially guys who are doing jihitsu, guys who are in their 30s and 40s, are not recovering quite as well. They're just not getting as much deep sleep. And there's a couple of reasons for that, which we'll get into here. But REM sleep. What does REM do? REM stands for rapid eye movement,

occurs in the later parts of the night,

but it is very essential for cognitive recovery,

memory consolidation, which is taking REM is stents for rapid eye movement. It occurs in the later parts of the night, but it is very essential for cognitive recovery,

memory consolidation, which is taking stuff from short-term memory into long-term memory storage,

and mood regulation.

You're going to feel better with more REM sleep.

Both of these stages are crucial for your overall health, for any sort of athletic performance

and recovery, and for just being

productive.
