How to Get Effective Sleep

This is a live stream from April 27, 2020. Kevin and Sharif, OptimalWork co-founders, discuss the "illusion of simultaneity" and how to get the best sleep.
The discussion was mainly inspired by the following comment:
One question that I have for you, is how can I begin to regulate and improve sleep hygiene? In this time of quarantine, because there aren't specific deadlines at my job, I have the luxury (if you can call it that) to sleep in and fall asleep late.

I have come back to watch this video several times because it is so fascinating and has changed the way I think about sleep and energy.

Thanks guys, this was awesome. Super relevant topics as our sense of structure is challenged and as our individual authority over the organization of our days increases.

Tell Kevin that this illustrates “tunnel vision” (head-on axis)!

What about Athletes? They need lots of sleep to recover from their workouts, would ~7 1/2 hr of sleep be too little or should they go over that just so they could rest their bodies?

Hey Carson, thanks for the question! We generally recommend no less than 7 hours, no more than 8. For athletes, it might make sense to be on the higher side. For athletes to rest their bodies, lighter recovery exercise and steady nutrition should also not be neglected!
