Episode notes

The average person reads about 202 hundred 50 words per minute. People think all the time that if they read faster, their comprehension would go down. But in actuality, when people actually read faster, they have better comprehension because they had better focus. If you don't give your brain the ti ineeds, it'll seek entertainment in the form of distraction.

When you’re reading something, do you ever lose focus? Do you ever get tired and fatigued? Do you ever get frustrated?

When people are reading, one of the biggest complaints I hear is that they get tired while reading.

To help you with that, I brought my sleep doctor and one of my dear friends, Dr. Michael Breus, on today’s episode to talk about sleep, reading, and chronotypes (the science of best times WHEN to do things for YOUR specific body type).

He's written a number of books, including “The Power of When” and “The Sleep Doctor’s Diet Plan.”

In less than 15 minutes, you will discover:
