What's up folks? Welcome back to the WOOP podcast, where we sit down with top athletes,

researchers, scientists, and more to learn what the best in the world are doing to perform at

to unlock human performance. All right, on this week's episode, our VP of performance, Kristen Holmes,

is joined by Dr. Greg Potter. Dr. Potter is an expert in circadian rhythms and sleep,
