CHAPTER

The Importance of Sleep

"It's not about getting eight, nine, 10 hours. It's about getting great, great sleep," he says. "When I read a book in bed, I fall asleep." He does an at-home sleep test and finds out that he has sleep apnea. 'I can imagine tackling anything that has to do with sleep would be definitely worthwhile'

So I can imagine tackling anything that has to do with sleep would be definitely worthwhile. And I think there's lots of
Speaker 1
different things. Well, we have a great series with Dr. Judith Joseph, a psychiatrist out in New York. And we did a whole series on sleep, sleep and the intersection of sleep and anxiety. And yeah, I mean, if you've never heard the phrase sleep hygiene, number, you got to go learn that. I thought that was just taking a shower before you go to bed. But it's the whole method about getting your body on a routine, getting it triggered for sleep, getting it to go into better sleep. It's not about getting eight, nine, 10 hours. It's about getting great, great sleep. And anyway, I could go off and off on sleep. But
Speaker 2
no, that's fascinating. There was a book called Why We Sleep. Oh, yeah, it's on my next stand right now. OK. Yeah. And yeah, but here's the thing. When I read a book in bed, I fall asleep. You
Speaker 1
fall asleep, yeah. Well, OK, so I just got, I just did an at-home sleep test, and I have sleep apnea. And so I go into the doctor. Look at those tennis. Oh my gosh, it's so easy. You wear a cap for three nights in a row. And then all the information virtually gets sent to the doctor. And then they tell you if you have sleep apnea or not. Oh, wow. And I stopped breathing on average 10 times a night, which is the 10 times an hour, which is the lowest, like it's like minor sleep apnea. But anyway, as a joke, you reminded me of this, I go into the doctor's office. They're like, how are you today, sir? And I'm like, honey, I'm tired. Like, you
Speaker 2
got my results. You know, yeah.
Speaker 1
What about the sleep clinic? How do you think I'm doing? I'm tired here, you
Speaker 2
know?
