Description

Can being awake less get you more out of life? Shawn Stevenson
— bestselling author and creator of The Model Health Show — joins us on the
podcast to talk about the practice of sleep. Our modern society seems to
celebrate those who sleep less — viewing them as "more productive" or
"healthier" — when in actuality most of these people are chronically
sleep-deprived and hurting their productivity and health in the long run.
Shawn explains why getting optimal sleep is vital to operating at high
performance and shows us how to set up our personal sleep practice so we
can start getting better sleep....tonight!
