There is that simple truth the shorter your sleep the shorter your life

Sleep used to be one of the last great remaining scientific mysteries.

We were still asking the question, why do we sleep?

No one could give me an answer.

Every physiological system in the body and every single operation of the mind

is wonderfully enhanced by sleep when you get it

and demonstrably impaired when you don't get enough.

Insufficient sleep is linked to Alzheimer's disease, you know, to diabetes,

to depression, suic you know, to diabetes, to depression,

suicidality, anxiety, everything that's killing us in the developed world.

Everything about the science is telling us we need to increase it and

stop the great sleep neglect.

If your surgeon has only slept six hours,

you have a 170% increased risk of a major surgical error so there are lives being lost to

insufficient sleep. You know we often hear that old mantra you know you can sleep

when you're dead it's mortally unwise advice because if you adopt that mindset,

not only will you be both dead sooner, but the quality of that now shorter life will be significantly worse.

Sleep is the single most effective thing you can do to reset your brain and body health. Sleep is a life support system and it is mother nature's best effort yet at immortality. You're going to.
