In this episode, we cover all things sleep.

We all know sleep impacts performance. Our clients know that we consider sleep to be one of the most important things they will work on improving during their time training with us.

For this episode, we cover stages of sleep, quality of sleep, and how to set yourself up for a successful sleep schedule.

We discuss blue light effects on melatonin as well as smaller studies on red light and how sunlight plays an important role in your circadian rhythm.

We also discuss nutrition habits, nightly rituals, and sleep performance and we give you our tips on getting an amazing night of sleep so that you can perform better, think more clearly, and feel amazing.

We also discuss sleep supplements (the good and the bad).
