Episode notes

There is no evidence that we're in the middle of a sleep lost epidemic. Two thirds of the population says that they get between seven and nine hours of sleep a night. Roughly forty pert people say that they're geting less than seven hours of sleep at night.

Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep" was one of the most popular and acclaimed wellness books of 2017. There's just one problem: Much of it isn't true.

Thanks to University of Ottawa Postdoctoral Fellow Dylan Smith for helping us with the research!
