The LinkedIn podcast network is sponsored by Slack. Get started today at slack.com slash D-H-Q. Russell Foster, welcome to the next big idea podcast. I'm happy to report that I did finally get back to sleep. Thank God I feel so much better. My synapses feel snappier,. I can feel the extraordinary restorative power of sleep that Russell describes. It's no wonder then that he wants us all to get more sleep because if we do that, he says, we can live happier and healthier lives.

Sleep can enhance your creativity, lift your spirits, improve your sense of humor, and amplify your sociability. So why do so many of us struggle to get a good night's rest? Russell Foster, a professor of circadian neuroscience at the University of Oxford, says it's because we've let the frantic drumbeat of modern life drown out the steady tick-tock of our biological clocks. That's the bad news. The good news is that Russell's here to share science-backed tips that will have you catching more z's in no time.

Russell's new book is "Life Time: Your Body Clock and Its Essential Roles in Good Health and Sleep."
