You already know you should be sleeping more. This episode is about actually making it happen.

Morgan, Ryann, and Nic get into both the fundamentals you need to have in place and the newer research most people have not heard yet. They cover why poor sleep does more damage to your nutrition progress than a bad diet day, what your circadian rhythm actually is and why wrecking it on weekends is basically giving yourself jet lag on purpose, and the surprising research on hot showers before bed. Plus mouth taping, temperature regulation, why the little standby light on your TV might be ruining your sleep, and what social jet lag is doing to your body even when you think you are catching up on rest.

This one is dense with good science, and still very funny.

For some people, six hours of sleep is a huge win despite the 7-9 hour guideline. In this post we dig into why sleep duration guidelines exist, what chronic low sleep is linked to (from mood and performance to long-term cognitive health), and why "I've always slept bad" isn't the same as "this isn't affecting me." Then we get practical: how to work with six hours instead of obsessing over eight, why quality often matters more than quantity, and how nutrition, training, and stress quietly impact sleep. We also cover when it's time to go beyond habit tweaks and involve a sleep study or medical support. No shame, no sleep virtue signaling. Just a nuanced conversation about protecting your health when perfect sleep isn't on the table.
