Right. That's going to give you the best results. That was what I was trying to communicate to her was that I don't care. I mean, I know you hear us talk about this is how many grams of protein you should have for optimal building muscle. But that's not the lens that we're looking through when we're trying to get better sleep. In fact, what it looks like is...

Try this meal that you eat, you know, and then tell me how you feel. And it's like, oh, that really helped. I got some of the best sleep. Okay, let's move in that direction. Regardless if it's 50 grams of protein, 20 grams of protein, I don't care about that. I care more about that meal or those combination of foods resulted in a better night's sleep.
