When we’re sleep-deprived, it can be really hard to eat well,exercise, think straight, or even stay in a good mood. Understanding the way our brain and neurotransmitters work can enable us to hack our sleep to not just feel amazing but level up our focus, skills, and knowledge.

In today’s episode, I talk with Shawn Stevenson, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and Dr. Cindy Geyer about the value of sleep and the basics of sleep hygiene.

Shawn Stevenson is the author of the international bestselling book Sleep Smarter and creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the #1 health podcast in the U.S. with millions of downloads each year.
