Hello and welcome back to the not-so-fit couple podcast with your hosts, Lucy Davis.

I'm Benjamin Halden.

Today's episode is all about the effects of sleep on your health.

Indeed. Indeed. I wanted to kick off with a stat today. I sent this up to my email list a little bit earlier on the week.

And I think it's surprised quite a few people.

Obviously, it's not going to be too relevant to females.

But there was a, I think it was a TED Talk or a podcast, I can't remember now, that I was listening to last week.

And it was that men who sleep for five hours per night have significantly smaller testicles than those who sleep

for seven hours plus it's very not viable to a woman yeah but for a guy like if you if you

listen to this and you go out this afternoon or even as a female and you want to pass it on to your

um your um your other half.

And say, do you know what, have a little play of your plum tonight.

Feel around, feel the, feel small and usual.

Have you been getting less sleep?

Maybe that's a direct correlation.

And plus, if you have a little feel around with your nuts as well,

obviously it's a good opportunity to have a little look for any lumps and bumps and bumps on a more serious note as well.

Yeah, 100%. opportunity to have a little look for any lumps and bumps on a more serious note as well yeah 100% like we'd always recommend people to do that women with your breasts and guys with your balls

okay thank you very much it's really important i don't care talking about it's really important

i think um i know that it's kind of a bit of a jockey thing but that status has been proven in regard to testicular size

and yeah just as a reminder check your nuts love that so i think sleep in general is so undervalued

in health and fitness into just how important it actually truly is a good's sleep is literally as important as regular exercise,
