Brilliant, like the smartest people in the world are kind of like, okay.

Patients love that stuff.

Academics, they don't always find it cute, but this is the truth.

Wash your brain.

You know, sleep hygiene, we call it sleep hygiene for a reason because your brain needs its bath, but there's things we can do to improve the quality of our sleep.

And really what's so important is that when you wake up, you get that first morning sunlight.

Getting that first morning sunlight resets that circadian rhythm.

And then, man, we need to be careful with the screen exposures because all that blue light that's emitted, especially if you don't wear the blue blockers on your glasses, it just drops and drops and drops your natural melatonin.

So when you go to bed at night, you either can't fall asleep, or if you do, you can't stay asleep.

And it's because of all of that blue light, especially after sundown.

So aim for those seven to nine hours of sleep.

And we know that's when your body's regenerating.

there may be a lot of things contributing to that.

You know, is part of it that if you're not sleeping, are you just not as energized to do as much exercise?

This is where it's hard to control for confounding variables.

So what is it that's driving that?

But we know that one of the main mechanisms is you're getting that restorative period in your body that is very, very critical in terms of optimal health from all health conditions.
