Today’s episode is a throwback to episode 96, because the topic is so important that it deserves to be addressed again. We all know the feeling of not getting enough sleep—we wake up groggy, frustrated, and less patient with our kids and with life. But lack of sleep takes much more toll on our bodies and minds than we might realize.

Sleep diplomat and professor Matt Walker explains that sleep is non-negotiable, because the less sleep we get, the shorter our lives are likely to be. When we start practicing better sleep habits, our brains remember more, our bodies fight disease better, and our lives can be not only better but longer—and that’s something our kids will thank us for.
