We should make the world adjust more to the body and not the other way around.

For example, young parents, when they go to work, but they've really had a horrible night, if it's possible to have a room where they could just lay down for 15 minutes and not be judged for it, then the rest of the day they would be able to do much better work, be much more, you know, bringing things forward, being effective, and then just pretending they're a machine and trying to hide their imperfectness.

You know, work with that you're human and that actually when you understand yourself, you can get a lot out of that.

As long as it's not ruining my ability to sleep at night, napping can be good.

Yeah.

And we see that there's also this built-in biological clock, as you can say, where it has proteins that fall apart twice a day.

So one is, of course, when we go to sleep, but then the other one is especially at that nap or siesta time in Southern Europe.

So two times a day, there's this offered platform to us where we could actually fall asleep.

And if there's enough reasons to do so, then we will.

Julia, what do you do to make sure you get enough good quality sleep?

I realize that I really have to tone it down in the evenings.

I don't do late, exciting gatherings if it's not my birthday or anything.

That really makes me sleep not so good.

I don't eat too late.

And then during the day, I try to come down once or twice.

Like really, as I said, I usually try to do the 12 and 4 o'clock where I just have a minute.

Or sometimes I'll just like even sit and just breathe and take a breather and just calm down because I think it's so unrealistic to have your conscious mind being

You're constantly super activated and taking all the responsibility the whole day being at 150.

And then at 10 o'clock in the evening, you're expected to go to like chill out level.

How is that supposed to work?
