Hi, Michael.

Welcome to Something You Should Know.

Thanks for having me.

I'm stoked to be here.

So why, I'm thinking people are wondering, why would I need advice on how to sleep, breathe, and hydrate myself?

So let's start with drinking, hydration.

That should be easy.

I mean, the advice that everyone's always heard is drink eight glasses of water a day and you're good to go.

Is that pretty good advice?

My guest is Michael Bruce.

He is a clinical psychologist, clinical sleep specialist and author of Sleep, Drink, Breathe, Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health.

So Michael, let's talk about breathing during the day, just regular breathing.

It could probably use some attention, but it just seems so automatic.

So let's talk about sleep.

And the common advice is you get roughly eight hours of sleep per night and you should be good to go, right?

So here's something that I find and have found throughout my life is that my type seems to change.
