0:00.0	Hey, just your listeners. As many of you know, because I talk about it often is the importance of sleep.
0:06.1	And for all of us to get a good night's sleep and how we have a culture that often goes against
0:13.7	notions of having good sleep and how work is creeping in on our good sleep and how
0:19.6	stress can cause problems. And one of the issues that a lot of the parents will face is trying to
0:25.3	help their children to sleep throughout the night. And there's a lot of research
0:28.8	pointing to the importance of children getting a good night's sleep of varying ages. And while I'm
0:34.0	on this topic, like the whole having high school kids, like go to school at seven in the morning
0:39.2	and the research against all that nonsense. And how the pandemic actually pushed things forward
0:45.1	a little bit because they had that flexibility. And now that the pandemic is kind of ending,

1:33.9	because our body clocks work better when we're on a schedule. And when we're going to bed at the
1:41.2	same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning, that's optimal. That's how we're
1:45.6	designed to work. And with people's schedule kind of flying out the window, people are saying
1:52.4	up way later, kids are staying up way later. And that inconsistency of the schedule just kind of
1:59.8	wreaks havoc on our circadian rhythm. Yeah, that's one of the things that I've learned as I've
