I i'm ella mills, the founder of deliciously ella. And this is our pol cast, delicious ways to feel better. This year we've launched a new form out with these short, ten to 15 minute bit sized episodes, which will hopefully give you everything you need to know in a really digestible, practical form out. And each month we're going to be having a resident expert join us to delve deeper into one topic. And the topic for february is sleep. So during february, we're going to be joined by doctor guy meadows, a physiologist who is a leading expert in the space of sleep. Guy founded the sleep school, which is a team of global sleep experts with over ten years of experience. They use evidence based and clinically proven education and tools to help every one with chronic sleep issues to sleep better every day. Guy is also a published author, and in his book, the sleep book, how to sleep well every night, he shares his method blending mindfulness and cognitive behavior therapy techniques to help readers sleep better naturally. So it's absolute pleasure to be joined by guy. And to day we're going to delve in by looking at why sleep is just so important for our health. So welcome guy. And could you sum that up in a nutshell for us?

I alwas like to say that sleep is the single most powerful performance enhancing, health providing behavior known to human kind, whereby it affects our mental, emotional and physical health. So it's not what sleep does for us, it's what it doesn't do for us is in it inner nutshell, it it's affecting every biological process.
