And just like alcohol, which does the same, but by way of a different mechanism, caffeine is going to reduce the quality of your sleep non-consciously because those awakenings are so brief, you never commit them to memory. So you wake up the next day, you feel lousy, but you don't remember waking up, so you don't put two and two together. That said, though, I've actually changed my tune on coffee.

I would absolutely say for anyone for whom they like coffee, absolutely drink coffee. And the reason is because if you look at coffee, the health benefits associated with coffee are astronomically numerous and remarkably robust statistically.

Furthermore, perplexingly for someone like me, if you list all of the benefits that is de-risking in terms of diseases and you stack up what sleep will do in terms of de-risking all of your disease states, it's almost a one-to-one match. So people are coming along to me and saying, well, can you square that circle for me? I don't understand how that can be true.

I looked at the Whoop urine review last year. It's actually just come out recently and I haven't been through it. And they talk about your behaviors and what's been related between your behaviors and your sleep and your recovery and your strain and so on and so forth. But they also have aggregated, anonymized and aggregated the data from all of the other Whoop users.
