Sleep—who’s getting some? Not all of you, it seems, since sleep is one of the most asked about topics. Quality and quantity matter, and you want real answers.
We’ve created a multimedia sleep series for you as part of Better Sleep Month. Each week in May, you’ll find compelling interviews from Bulletproof Radio, cool articles from our blog, and a batch of lively videos. We’re bringing you the best Bulletproof tips and tools we have, so you can start sleeping better. Listen, read or view—whatever helps you get your own piece of the night.
“Sleep ends up being a leading indicator and sometimes activity can be a lagging indicator,” says Harpreet Rai, CEO of Oura Ring. “If you get enough sleep and your heart rate variability is high and you’re in that parasympathetic state, you’re going to perform better in activity the next day. And there are numerous studies that actually show that. I think trying to get people in this mentality of, “focusing on tomorrow today by focusing on sleep first,” gets you ready in this mindset for what’s going to happen tomorrow.”
Enjoy the show—and check back next week for part 4 of our Better Sleep Month series.
