Sometimes you'll have a late night.

Sometimes stress will keep you up.

That's normal.

And your body can handle occasional poor sleep.

What your body can't handle is chronic, consistent, poor sleep.

Those studies we talked about today weren't one bad night or even one bad week.

They were about patterns.

So if you miss sleep one night, don't panic.

Just get back to your normal schedule the next night.

Consistency beats perfection every single time.

The research is crystal clear.

Sleep is not optional.

It's not something you can hack your way around with supplements or willpower.

Your body needs it to clear waste from your brain, regulate your metabolism, and consolidate memories.

The choices you make about sleep today are determining your health next week and decades from now.

You don't need to be perfect, but you do need to be consistent.

Let's get to sleep, and that's just science.

If we were to evaluate the U.S.

healthcare system over the last 50 years in terms of the performance indicator of the health of the population, U.S.

healthcare has been a 50-year failure.
