So there's a lot to unpack there that I want to dig into too. So you mentioned your sleep schedule.

And like now you're dialed in sleep schedule is 10.30 to 11 wake up at six. Is that representative of what you like that's a good day for you in terms of like you're happy with a like seven hour to seven and a half hour like total time in bed and that equates to do you use any like tracking

devices like an aura ring or a whoop or anything you just go by general biofeedback how you feel

sort of thing yes so um well obviously sleep is so vitally important and so much of my online time

uh is spent telling people how to get better at sleeping. So sleep is wonderful in that,

in the recovery sense, in the early part of the sleep, your first half of sleep is going to be

mainly focused on physical recovery, but mentally you just can't perform if you're not

getting enough of that REM sleep, which comes later in the night for everybody and more toward morning or whenever what later in your sleep cycle because i know uh

your sleep cycle is a little bit shifted yeah derrick the last name not to be named is is mostly

nocturnal folks so at least for now you know but it obviously for you. That's one of my main goals is to fix that.

Yeah.

Oh, we can fix that.

Yeah.

It's a more a matter of, I don't know, just like something about the daytime and when it's

bright outside, I feel like, I know, life is going on and being on when you're so

sedentary on a computer, for example, for your work, it's very difficult for me to focus

when life is going on around me. So usually I excel the best when it's dark and I know people

are asleep and my phone's not ringing off the hook and, you know, there's no emails coming in.

I can really just like get my head down, get stuff done.

But it's obviously problematic in maintaining an ideal circadian rhythm where I am pretty

much the opposite of what is ideal, frankly.

Like it's like literally the opposite side of like what I should be doing.
