| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. |
| 0:15.8 | Today's cool fact of the day is that people evolved to sleep a lot less than chimps, |
| 0:21.3 | beboons, and all other primates we've ever found so far, which frankly is probably all |

| 0:27.2 | If we were like normal primates, we would need about 9.55 hours of sleep, and a lot of |
