The Welcome back to the Stronger by Science Podcast. I'm Greg Knuckles. I'm Pack and

like Squarecakis. And I'm Milo Wolf. And we have another great episode for

you guys today and in this episode we're talking about sleep. We've discussed sleep several times on the

podcast previously. This is definitely not our first episode on the topic, but it still

remains one of our most requested topics whenever we ask the community, hey, what would you like to hear us talk about more on the podcast?

Sleep is consistently one of the top things that the people are clamoring for and we are

here to to meet your needs and desires. So we're diving back into the topic. We're talking about sleep again to provide up-to-date

information about how sleep affects health, athletic performance, body composition outcomes,

and more.

The first part of this episode will provide a bit of a lay of the land discussing

how sleep duration, quality, and consistency affect those various outcomes.

While the second part will discuss what you can actually do about it if sleep is something you struggle with.

I think a lot of sleep content comes across as delivering

information. Sure it's not much of a surprise to people if you don't sleep much or if you have poor quality sleep that is generally

predictive of negative outcomes but that's usually where it ends. You know people

might say try to keep a consistent bedtime and make your room dark

And if that doesn't work well You know what we just we just told you all of these bad things that will happen and I guess you just have to take that one on the chin.

So we do want to talk a little bit about, you know, some things that might be helpful if you have

poor quality sleep, even if you can't necessarily improve your sleep quality all that much

not all is lost so we're going to talk about that some at the end

but before we dive in, Pack, Milo, would you guys consider yourselves good sleepers?

So I'll start here. I would consider myself a solid sleeper but with a lot of terms and conditions.
