Sleep

In this early morning recording of this episode, we talk about sleep. We start from the technology, the biohacking / tracking tools we use, Whoop (Pia) and Oura (Bart), and how we use these tools in optimising sleep. We discuss some of the basics of sleep for example the four main aspects of sleep: Quality, quantity, continuity and regularity and the main stages of sleep: Deep, REM and light sleep. We continue discussing other matters such as the value (and potential risks) of daytime napping, the value of each of the main sleep stages on body and mind repair, and the importance of knowing your chronotype: Are you a lark, a night owl or somewhere in the middle? Do you need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning? Then you are probably not a lark! We talk about the stages of life and how this impacts sleep, for example the sleep of teenagers, parents of very young children and older people. All sleep deprivation in our lives, throughout our lives, has an effect on our health, in particular later in life. How do we deal with this, psychologically and emotionally? What can we do to fine-tune the quality, quantity, regularity and continuity of sleep? We discuss the importance of being aware of the trade-off of certain activities in life and sleep quality and making conscious decisions around this. We discuss some of the tips, hacks and tools we know and use, for example work with changing routines and habits around light, journaling, temperature, nutrition, supplements, exercise, and the timing of daily activities throughout the day.
