In this episode, the critical role of sleep in overall health and fitness is explored, emphasizing its impact on everything from energy levels to long-term recovery.

Improving sleep quality—focusing on deep and REM sleep—is essential for brain function and physical recovery, far beyond just sleep duration.

Listeners are encouraged to pay attention to their sleep habits, including reducing technology use before bed and adopting relaxation techniques to wind down.
