Hello everybody and welcome back to another Tuesday, another 6 a.m. If it's 6 a.m. when you're listening, probably not. Who knows. But welcome back to fingers crossed. We are your hosts. I'm Sierra. I'm Christy. And you're watching Disney

0:22.1

channel. And we're both sick. I'm not sick any longer. Thank you very much. Well, maybe. We were sick

0:30.3

for like a whole week. Why are you lumping me into this? Actually, it was probably... Well, you were the one

0:35.1

literally just telling me that your voice still sounded scratchy no no i was saying my voice sounded scratchy because i just woke up from a nap you guys and i never

0:42.1

nap and seerr's trying to tell me that i have to like train myself into napping which i do believe

0:46.7

that it takes practice but i don't want to do that so i'm like well i'm a big believer in napping

0:51.9

is a science and you have to get it down to the specific

0:54.4

intervals of how much time to fall asleep. Because if you sleep either too little or too much

0:59.0

based on your personal REM cycle, it can actually like mess up your day. But if you get the

1:03.8

perfect amount, which usually for me is either a seven minute nap or a 22 minute nap, I know I sound

1:08.7

easy. That is actually. I can actually like completely reset my

1:13.5

brain and not feel groggy. But that is completely a tanger. Well, there is a whole science behind it though.

1:18.2

My dad like used to be into this too where it's like shorter naps that are 20 minutes are way more

1:22.9

1:32.5

sleep for five minutes, wake up. And it really just felt like doing a kind of reboot on the computer,

1:37.6

but of your brain, that way you don't lose what you already had. Your tabs are still there you just have to reopen them again when you wake up i think i had too many tabs to do that but yeah i i tried i don't do that often just because i'm a big caffeine person

1:49.7

and usually i get more than four hours of sleep but last night i got four hours of sleep and then i

1:54.2

woke up at six a m because um when i'm drunk i forget to close my blinds. And then the sunrise wakes me up at 6 a.m.

2:02.3

And I was like, okay, I'll go back to sleep. And then it didn't happen. So I was like,

2:05.1

okay, I'll just go work out. And then I just stayed up. And now I took a nap to try and

2:09.6

revive myself this afternoon. But we're alive. We're awake. We're alert somewhat.
