Oh my goodness. Right now, you are the envy of so many people right now.
It was very funny. And you will always struggle with those problems. So I would absolutely say I think that type of thermal intervention is fairly well replicated.

We have not seen much data right now to suggest that electromagnetic pollution in the environment is going to be a sleep disruptor. Yeah. I think there's probably some, you know, anecdata.

But I think that that's got much more to do with absent light, absent technology. I know that when, so I live in Northern California, just outside of San Francisco and up in the Berkeley Hills, which is where I live behind my campus, trees will go down in the winter. They will take down the power lines and you lose electricity for maybe two or three days.

At that point, I've just got, you know, maybe my phone left. I'm trying to save the battery, so I'm not on it much. I'm reading journals with candlelight. And I know for a fact that I think my natural bedtime, I'm a desperately vanilla person, I'm deeply boring, I'm vastly uninteresting, but I'm kind of like an 11, 11.30 to kind of 7.30 kind of guy in terms of my rhythm.

I'm just slap bang in the middle, neutral. But I know that when those nights happen, all of a sudden I'm thinking, it's 10.25 and I'm actually sleeping. And what happens is that modernity comes in and it hits the mute button on my sleepiness. And I think I'm an 11 to 7.30 kind of guy. When actually I'm probably closer to a 10.15 kind of guy. And so you've got to be a bit mindful of that too.

Magnesium is an interesting one. I mean, if you look on Amazon or alike, magnesium sleep formulations is rife across the board. and they're getting very good ratings. So you don't need a scientific study to suggest that something's going on there. But if you dig into the history of magnesium and sleep, you get an interesting kind of paper trail that goes all the way back.

The story emerged from people who were magnesium deficient, and they had really quite profound sleep problems. And when you made them magnesium normative with supplementation, their sleep got better. That's very different than saying, okay, Matt, we've looked at your blood work. You are magnesium normative. And then taking vast doses of magnesium, I expect to get even better sleep.
