Throwing it way way back to episode 12--one of our most popular episodes! Millennials are known to be the "always tired" generation. Everyone under the age of 40 seems to be exhausted. And for good reason— we're working longer hours, taking on second jobs and side hustles, dealing with more competitive environments, glued to screens and phones that zap our mental energy, caring for small children and the list of stressful triggers goes on and on.In fact, we millennials wear our lack of sleep as a badge of honor.

To do this, we've invited Dr. Daniel Gartenberg on the show, a leading sleep scientist who has dedicated the past 10 years helping people get a better night’s rest through his sleep coaching consultancy and innovative apps.Tune in to learn the function of sleep, how much and how often we should sleep, tips to get Follow YAP on IG @youngandprofitingReach out to Hala directly at Hala@YoungandProfiting.comFollow Hala on Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/htaha/Follow Hala on Instagram: www.instagram.com/yapwithhalaCheck out our website to meet the team, view show notes and transcripts: www.youngandprofiting.com
