0:00.0	What's up Spartans? It's Dr. L. Your Chief Mindock here at Spartan Mind. All right, I asked you what you wanted to hear about,
0:12.5	and we got a lot of responses about stress.
0:15.9	So we're going to walk through some simple stress
0:19.3	management tools.
0:21.0	Some of these may be familiar to you and that's okay because if they are but
0:25.1	you're still feeling stressed then maybe you need to review. Okay? All right I'm
0:29.6	going to start with my number one favorite stress management tool. Sleep, are you getting enough sleep?
