I think almost all people should be tracking except those who are obsessive about it and become it becomes a challenge. And sleep now has this term that's floating around called orthosomnia. So ortho. So you've heard of, yeah, ortho sort of straightening. So orthodontic, straightening teeth, orthopedic, straightening bones.

You know, orthosomnia is getting my sleep so straight and I get so anxious about it that it crucifies my sleep. And at that point, I say one of two things. If it's really causing you distress, take it off, put it in a drawer, we'll come back to it, we'll fix your sleep, and we'll get back on track later. Or keep it on and only look at your data once a week. Yeah, yeah.

Or have someone else look at your data once a week. And the discipline there is hard, I agree. But you may not need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I think the first thing we have to do, and sleep is so idiosyncratic that different people will have different problems. First thing that we would want to do with an individual who comes in with complaining of sleep problems, do sleep test assessments. Do you have insomnia? Do you have sleep apnea? Do you have restless leg syndrome? Let's discount the sleep disorders.

Let's say that you don't have any of those. Let's now take a step down. I would say in terms of recommendations, and it's going to be different, as I said, for different people, there are probably a collection of common things that you can do now. Don't worry so much about the sleep supplements. And we can come to those later.
