This body is a couple of hundred thousand years old, right?

It evolves to be on this planet, to be awake during the day and sleep during the night.

In fact, it evolves to be awake for 16 hours and sleep for eight hours.

You're born into that contract, just like you're born into the contract that you're going to die one day. You don't get to negotiate that. You need eight hours of sleep for 16 hours being

And the great thing about improving your sleep is it doesn't need to be that complicated, and you don't necessarily have to sleep more hours if you feel right now that's just not going to happen.

So in this episode, I'm bringing you powerful insights from three incredible experts,

Dr. Kirk Parsley, he's a former Navy SEAL and former sports medicine doctor to Navy SEALs.

I've got Sean Stevenson, someone who wrote a book on sleep, and Dr. Greg Potter, someone who I just love talking to because

of his deep understanding of sleep. And to help you understand why sleep matters and how to improve
