The Welcome back to the Stronger by Science Podcast. I'm Greg. I'm Pac and I'm Milo. And we have another great episode for all of you today. Today we're doing part two of our little two-part series on sleep and I do feel

confident calling this a two-part series because looking at how much is left

on the outline if there is a third part here, we're going to have a problem.

So thanks for tuning back in. Hope you enjoyed our first sleep episode. And in this one, we're going to pick up where we left off.

In the last episode we talked about the impact of sleep duration and sleep consistency on things like health outcomes, mortality, weight

regulation, etc. And in this one we are picking up talking about the impact of sleep and sleep interventions on exercise performance and lifting and some sleep interventions that may improve exercise performance even if you already sleep fairly well.

We're going to talk about napping a little bit and we're going to talk a bit about all of all of the stuff we

discussed in the last episode you know if you don't sleep well there are some

negative ramifications that come along with that.

So we ask, hey, what can you do to mitigate some of the downsides of not sleeping well or not sleeping much

if that's something you struggle with. So that is what we have on the

agenda for this episode. But yeah, before we dive in, how's it going guys?

Anything on your mind or any feedback to the first episode you want to discuss or

or anything like that?

I want to apologize to those that may be more on the

OCD side of things with how we introduce ourselves every time we start

an episode. Last time we included our surnames. This time we didn't and I think there's been

some inconsistency with that so I apologize. But as far as the previous episode goes and there were quite a few people that were like oh this was

great from taking away the nozebo effect that sometimes comes with you know articles on sleep

and sleep duration specifically because they were like oh it turns out that if I do

have the odd night here and there where I'm sleeping five or six hours it's not the end of the world and I am not going to die.

So that was great.
