And by the way, it doesn't have to be anything particularly interesting or a magazine or something.

But in a calm, relaxed environment, then once you feel your eyelids getting heavy, go back to sleep.

Right?

Or...

stay in bed.

Now, you might be saying, well, why would I stay in bed?

There's actually data on something called non-sleep deep rest.

We used to call it yoga nidra, which is lying with your arms across your chest like this and just relaxing.

It turns out that that is rejuvenative.

It's not as good as sleep.

If you do that for an hour, it's worth about 20 minutes of sleep, but it's still worth something.

I want every human that's listening to understand that even if you're lying there,

awake, but calm, relaxed, and in a dark, cool environment, your body is still benefiting, even if you're not sleeping.

And the final thing I like to tell people is you got to stay positive.

And now you might be saying, okay, I know California doctor all woo woo and Mr. Positivity here.

But I'm here to tell you that there's actually a reason behind this, right?

So have you ever woken up at three o'clock in the morning for a good reason?

I haven't.

No, never.

There's always something wrong going on, right?
