I love these posts.. at nearly 46 I feel like I am 76 some days and with small kids I can’t afford to be that way… I have just signed up to Alfred and will be using your tips here to take control. I love what you said about getting eating and sleep right.

Absolutely agree - I notice the same things when I'm low on sleep. And I still come across people who sleep very little and wear it like a badge of honour.

In fact, after speaking to you a few weeks ago about sleep, I've done more reading / research and committed to increasing my sleep. Search Google for "The Sleep Diplomat" - I've been reading some of his stuff and it's an eye-opener!

My Oura ring is on its way too - so be sure to contact them to get your commission :)

I've never gotten 5 hours of REM + Deep Sleep. I practice all the habits you mention other than eating within 3 hours before bed.

Even on nights with 8 hours of total sleep I'm usually only registering 1 hour of deep sleep. Any other tips for deep sleep specifically?
