We had a fantastic conversation last time, and my audience valued it tremendously.
I know that because we often survey our audience, and we get to see some of the back-end stats.
And this conversation about sleep is particularly personal to everybody listening, because when we surveyed our audience ahead of this conversation today...
About 75 or 80% of the Dior Vaseo audience struggle with sleep for a variety of different reasons.
So we actually asked them, a thousand of them, their questions to ask you today.
But also the other reason I really wanted to chat to you is the science of sleep, I mean, as is the way of science, is always evolving.
We're learning new things.
And even since we spoke last time, there is new sleep science, which we're going to talk about today.
And one of those particular things we're going to talk about is going to be demonstrated using...
Because I always want to know what the updated sleep science is so that I can be a better sleeper, because I agree with everything you've said about how foundational sleep is in my life.
And I didn't know this at the start of my career.
I didn't know this even a couple of years ago, five years ago.
I didn't know.
I thought sleep was one of those things you could just...
take it or leave.
So can you do me a favor?
And for the listener at home, can you tell me what the different groups of people that are listening to this conversation right now are seeking?
From the extreme end being sleep apnea, I get no sleep, I'm an insomniac, to the other end where maybe they're looking for marginal performance gains.
What are the cohorts of people you see and the reasons why they're so interested in your work?
They listen to your podcast, they read your books.
