Matthew Walker, the author of Why We Sleep, was on the Joe Rogan Experience recently. I've been in material cognitive decline over the past year or so and I'm nearly certain it's due to my abhorrent sleep patterns. This episode really helped me prioritize a fix over other things that would normally result in a night of 3-5 hrs in bed or on the floor (who knows how much actual sleep). It's a great episode: [VIDEO]

Read it based on the thread you posted. I feel like it's a book everyone should read and wished I had read it sooner. Joe Rogan interviews the author here, great vid: [VIDEO]

Every single person here, if your serious about diving into the science of sleep, should read Matthew Walker's book: Why We Sleep: [LINK] His interview on Joe Rogan is a good summary: [VIDEO] He covers everything from why we sleep (obv), naps, melatonin, etc. I've just finished it and really enjoyed it.

How many other presidential candidates would you imagine would be willing to sit down and answer hard-hitting questions for +2 hours? He also had a discussion with Larry Sharpe [6], the Libertarian Party's candidate for governor of New York in 2018. Full disclosure: I recently joined the Libertarian Party.
