PG’s Playhouse: Puzzles, games, trivia, & general nerdery

8: Why Do We Sleep? (ft. Theresa Piazza)


Listen Later

Theresa doesn’t sleep on the weekends, she says sleep is for the week. What is sleep, and why do we need it? Our podcast producer Theresa Piazza joins us to explore this bizarre activity that we spend almost half our lives doing. We talk about what happens when you don't get enough sleep, and share some tips and tricks for how to fall asleep when the dreaded insomnia hits. Theresa also shares some insights from producing our podcasts. The game today is called Catching Some ZZZ's, inspired in part by Theresa's last name. The first half of the game is finding words with a double Z, and the second half plays with idioms about "sleep."
