This is the three-peat, right?
It is a three-peat. And you think, like, how much more information can you even know about sleep?
Fair question.
Right? Sure. But you cease to amaze every time you give better and better, more concise, new information every time.
Well, it's interesting because sleep is such a new field in medicine that there's like new things that we learn about all the time. I think that's one of the reasons why I like the field so much is because I'm like this avid sleep nerd. I like read all the literature, but it's something new happens, like something miraculously new happens really quite often.
