Today, TNS delve into the issue of sleep. Sleep is such an important pillar of our health - both the physical and mental sides. In the first half, we discuss how hard it can be to be well-rested whilst at uni, due to either the social aspect or work. We also discuss the personal experiences we've had with sleep and set our listeners a challenge for the week ahead (which we hope you join us in doing). After a magical Pointless Facts segment, we examine sleep in more detail, especially the science behind it. Matthew Walker is at the forefront of this scientific research. His book: "Why We Sleep", as well as his 3-part podcast on The Peter Attia Drive, heavily informs this episode. Sleep is the "swiss-army knife of health" and it's time we all started to prioritise it. We also pose some questions about the nature of our society and why work/school has to start so early? Finally, we provide a few suggestions on how to improve our sleep.
This is an episode we really enjoyed doing and we hope it gets you thinking!
