Most people underestimate the impact of poor sleep.
They push through it.
They normalise it.
They assume it is just part of a busy life.
But even one or two nights of poor sleep can have a profound effect on how you think, feel and perform.
In this episode of Stay at the Top, I break down three ways poor sleep is quietly showing up in your day to day life, from your food choices to your emotional regulation to your immune system.
This is not about long term risk. It is about what is happening right now and why it matters.
If you are feeling flat, craving more, reacting more or getting sick more often, this episode will help you connect the dots and understand why sleep is one of the highest leverage behaviours you can focus on.
