In episode 374 of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things, we are back with our Wednesday segment where I chat with psychologists, therapists, neuroscientists and other experts on the science of personal growth. The month of February will focus on cognitive decline featuring neuroscientist, mathematician, former Australian triathlete and the director of Nuero Athletics in NYC, a company helping individuals perform better, think faster, and live longer, Louisa Nicola.

This episode is about sleep deprivation and why it affects our cognitive abilities, how we get into a deep sleep, what happens to our brain when we don't get enough sleep and how we can prime our body for good sleep.
