And I think what some people misunderstand about sleep is that it's not just the end of your day.

It's like a full day start.

Like your focus the next day, your emotional equilibrium the next day actually depends on how you end your

your day before and the day prior to that.

So it's really about being very intentional about that because a rested brain, it's going to work so much better for you in every facet of your life.

And you're just going to live much more deeply.

Yeah.

And so I do have a whole chapter on nutrition and you did ask me about caffeine and I forgot to reply about that, but I do think caffeine is fine as long as it's, and actually some elements of coffee can be really supportive with attention and focus, but definitely not past early afternoon, if at all.

And I would say just a couple cups and just cap it would be ideal.

In terms of like actual supplements, I think first of all, we really need to focus on foundational foods and just like everybody says, like supporting your health, which means colors, which means antioxidants, which means all of the things that we always hear about, right?

I think that if you're having for energy boosts, I actually think

I've been digging into collagen and creatine a little bit.

I think some amino acids and neurotransmitter precursors can be really interesting for sustained energy and for sleep as well.

And I hesitate to recommend certain supplements just because every body is so different.

I think magnesium is phenomenal for sleep.

I think most of us have very little of it.

But I think overall, we need to focus on food sources and go from there and really nail that first.

Yeah, it's great.

It's great overall.

We're lacking in it.
