In this episode, we go through a practical way to think about sleep for people who care about focus, clarity, and consistent performance at work.

We talk about why sleep often gets deprioritized, how inconsistent sleep quietly affects attention and decision-making, and why chasing ideal sleep routines usually fails. The episode focuses on what actually works in real life, especially for busy knowledge workers.

The episode ends with a simple framework you can use to make sleep more stable without trying to be perfect.
