0:00.0	Hey everyone, I'm Dr. Kelly Starrett.
0:06.8	And I'm Juliette.
0:08.0	And you're listening to The Ready State Podcast.
0:11.6	This episode of the Ready State podcast is brought to you by Sleep Me.
0:20.6	We just saw where I sent you a meme, which said, in my 20s, I lived on a futon, which we both did.
0:26.6	Yeah, we both did. More like a thermarest. In our 30s, like we had to do something else to get a little bit better sleep.
0:32.9	And in our 40s, suddenly it was like, I had to have an eye mask and sleep in a perfect place to get three

1:22.1	Like, it really is gnarly. And you and I have our own winter wonderlands. Our own universes.
1:27.7	Ironically, we sleep in the same temperature these days. Well, only in the winter, though. In the summer, it's a different world.

1:45.9	So go to sleep.me slash TRS to take advantage of our exclusive discount and wake up refreshed
