In this episode, I explore briefly how better sleep can lead to fat loss and 8 ways to sleep smarter. Notice, I didn't mention sleeping longer throughout the show. Quantity may not be as important as quality. 8 ways to improve sleep quality: 1. No caffeine after 2 p.m. 2. Minimal screen time at least 1 hour before bed (more is better). 3. Complete darkness in your bedroom, if it emits light, cover it. 4. Ensure magnesium intake is adequate (400mg for me, 320mg for women, daily). 5. Get more natural sunlight throughout the day. 6. Track your sleep and notice the trends. 7. Create a sleep ritual. 8. Can't sleep? Just go with it. Insomnia may be better for you than sleeping pills.
