You know, interestingly, I saw there was a sleep physician, I forget his name. He's got the long blonde hair, but he was on Huberman. Oh, Matthew Walker? Yes. Dr. Matthew Walker? Yeah. One of the statistics that he put forward, and I don't want to misquote it, so I'm going to paraphrase it, which was astounding to me, was about daylight savings time.

And this happened over and over and over on the daylight savings times each year.

And I think it's becoming so much more mainstream and in vogue for people to really pay attention to their sleep. I know Brian Johnson talks about it being your superpower, the biggest superpower that he's discovered in his life. Journey with Blueprint. And I'm a big believer in that.

Nice. And what a dramatic difference it has made in... My psyche. Yeah. Just, I don't know how to sort of paraphrase it, but just like my level of happiness and contentness and the readiness I have for meetings and preparedness for podcasts. I mean, that's why I put the podcast here in my home.

And just what you're talking about is circadian alignment. So when you look at the consequences of circadian misalignment, it's increases in cancer risk, it's cardiovascular disease, it's diabetes, it's obesity, mood disorders, psychiatric disorders, right?
