In today's episode, we discuss the effects of sleep deprivation on the body and how it can impact our overall health and fitness program/approach. If you feel you are not getting optimal sleep, it is important to identify why your body lacks the ability to use sleep as a physiological reset and recover time. Sometimes it is helpful to go over some tricks and techniques leading up to your routine wind-down before bed to start improving your sleep quality.

I share some of my opinions and information on sleep deprivation, but I also have been totally consumed in the works of Dr. Matthew Walker, so I was excited to share some of his work and insight in today's content. Dr. Walker is an English scientist and professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. His professional work primarily focuses on the subject of sleep and its impact on longevity and human health. I wanted to use this episode to share some of his knowledge and elaborate on some of the informative interviews he has had with Peter Attia, MD (Canadian-American physician known for his practice that focuses on the science of longevity and whom I have mentioned in previous episodes).

It is easy to talk about how important sleep is, but sometimes it is just as easy to push it to the back burner and not put any steps forward to improving it. I hope that today's episode gives you some actionable items and encouragement to improve your own sleep so that you can all continue putting your fitness into motion.
