Think twice before you add R.E.M.'s "The One I Love" to your romance playlist. While it reached #9 on the Billboard charts and even became a favorite at weddings, Michael Stipe himself calls the track "downright brutal." Get into the story of this often-misunderstood song in the new episode of the Behind The Song podcast with Janda Lane.

Quebec's commercial real estate market has changed fast, and the old "local only" playbook does not hold up anymore. Louis Bergeron, partner at HPDG, joins Axel Monsaingeon to unpack what appraisers are seeing before the headlines: how developers now chase opportunities across the province, why 2024 felt frozen, and what shifted in 2025 to bring buyers and sellers closer together. Louis also shares the real story behind PDG's roots coming out of Desjardins, how the firm grew through acquisitions and mergers, and why a merger has to be "1 + 1 = 3" or it is not worth doing. They dig into PDG's full-service model from valuation and property management to tax appeals, litigation support, and expropriation tied to major projects like the REM and the Blue Line extension. Louis closes with what PDG is building for 2026, including a refreshed brand and a bigger push to share market insights, plus why comparing cap rates is often harder than people think.

Nearly one in three adults in the UK experiences symptoms of insomnia. On average, adults in the UK get about 7.6 hours of sleep per night. In recent years, the popularity of gadgets designed to track and improve sleep has surged. However, this growing focus on achieving perfect sleep has given rise to a new issue: orthosomnia. Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and more advanced gadgets like connected sleep masks or mattress sensors track sleep patterns and stages, such as REM and deep sleep. According to The Guardian in October 2024, the sleep monitor industry was valued at 270 million pounds annually, reflecting the growing fascination with these detailed sleep metrics. What is orthosomnia? Why do we think we need 8 hours of sleep? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : Why do our bodies need to sleep? Should you sleep with socks on? How do I know if I sleepwalk? A podcast written and realised by Amber Minogue. First Broadcast: 3/3/2025 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jay & Mari explain balancing excitation/inhibition, avoiding hyper-stability, and how master clinicians accelerate results.✅ Topic 3 Insights: Stimulation PrimersPhotobiomodulation, HRV syncing, harmonics, cranial sacral — 10 minutes pre-session boosts neuroplasticity for better outcomes.✅ Additional Topics:
Dr. Don Watenpaugh is a scientist, sleep clinician, data artist, and poet with a PhD in physiology. His extensive career spans academia, NASA, and the U.S. Navy, focusing on human sleep, exercise, and environmental physiology. As a board-certified sleep medicine specialist, he directed a large urban sleep clinic for over 13 years, caring for patients and educating healthcare providers. Dr. Watenpaugh is an adjunct faculty member in physiology, anatomy, and biomedical engineering. He now creates data-driven art and poetry at Studio Videnda. In this episode, he brings his deep expertise to the critical relationship between sleep and concussion recovery.Episode Summary:In this episode of the Concussion Coach Podcast, host Bethany Lewis welcomes sleep expert Dr. Don Watenpaugh, to explore the complex connection between sleep disturbances and concussion recovery. Dr. Watenpaugh explains the physiological reasons why concussions commonly disrupt sleep—from brain inflammation impacting cerebral spinal fluid "brainwashing" during non-REM sleep to the exacerbation of pre-existing conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The conversation delves into the different types of insomnia (sleep onset and maintenance) and their potential causes, including restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea.Crucially, Dr. Watenpaugh provides actionable, evidence-based strategies to improve sleep and support brain healing. He discusses the evolving role of exercise as medicine, emphasizing safe, non-jarring activities like stationary cycling. He covers practical sleep hygiene tips, such as the importance of spinal alignment during sleep, the potential benefits of slightly elevating the head of the bed, and the disruptive effects of electronics and blue light. The discussion also touches on the careful use of supplements like melatonin, the special considerations for military personnel and student-athletes, and the overarching importance of patient education and self-advocacy. This episode is packed with science-backed insights to help listeners break the vicious cycle of poor sleep and prolonged concussion symptoms.Key Resources & Strategies Mentioned:Exercise as Medicine: Safe, mild-to-moderate exercise (e.g., stationary cycling to avoid head acceleration) can aid concussion recovery and improve sleep. Always consult your doctor.Sleep Position & Environment:Maintain spinal alignment; avoid stomach sleeping to prevent neck torsion.Consider slightly elevating the head of the bed to help reduce intracranial pressure.Remove electronics (TVs, phones) from the bedroom to avoid mental stimulation and blue light, which suppresses natural melatonin.Addressing Underlying Causes:Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): Evening exercise (ending 2+ hours before bed) can help. Other treatments are available.Sleep Apnea: A common cause of sleep maintenance insomnia. Treatment (e.g., CPAP) is critical for overall health and concussion recovery.Hormonal Factors: Post-menopausal women may see a link between hormone changes and sleep apnea onset.Melatonin & Supplements: Prioritize natural melatonin production by managing light exposure. If using supplements, start with a low dose well before bedtime, monitor for side effects like headaches or grogginess, and consult your doctor.Patient Advocacy & Reliable Research: Dr. Watenpaugh stresses the importance of educating yourself using reliable, peer-reviewed sources like PubMed/MEDLINE, reputable medical institutions (e.g., Johns Hopkins & the Mayo Clinic), and professional organizations (e.g., American Academy of Sleep Medicine).Dr. Don Watenpaugh's website:Website/Data Art Studio: https://www.studiovidenda.comBethany Lewis & The Concussion Coach:Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Download at www.theconcussioncoach.comConcussion Coaching Program: For personalized mentorship in recovery.

In this episode, host Doug Beitz sits down with Dr. Amy Albright, CEO of Holon and a trailblazer in human potential, to explore the intersection of neuroscience, biohacking, and intuition. Dr. Amy explains why your brain and body function like a divine antenna that requires high-quality "fuel" to operate at peak performance. We dive into the structural differences between male and female brains, the science behind neuro-feedback training, and how you can reclaim your evolutionary birthright: intuitive intelligence. Whether you are a business leader looking for a strategic edge or a man seeking a deeper connection to his "gut feeling," this episode provides the blueprint for re-wiring your neurology for clarity and alignment.

Deep Dive into the Neurology of Performance 1. Upgrading Your "Wattage" Dr. Amy likens the human body to a high-performance sports car. Many people experience brain fog because they consume a "standard processed food diet," which is the equivalent of putting cheap gasoline in a racing engine. Neurologically, if your brain requires 15 watts of power but only has 13, it will shut down higher functions like empathy, strategic thinking, and connection to default into "survival strategies". By reducing toxic burdens and improving mitochondrial function, you provide the "power" necessary for the brain to function as a whole unit. 2. Male vs. Female Brain Architecture A key difference in neurology is the corpus callosum, the architecture connecting the two brain hemispheres. Women generally have a more robust corpus callosum, allowing them to see multiple points of view and multitask. In contrast, the male brain is often wired for a singular focus (the "hunt the deer" mentality), which is a strength unless it leads to a "bubble" that excludes broader intuitive inputs. 3. Neuro-Feedback: Rewiring the Default Mode Through advanced neuro-feedback, Dr. Amy and her team use EEG mapping to look "under the hood". They can identify hot spots of anxiety or underperforming "dead zones". By playing a "video game" with the brain—where the computer rewards the brain for reaching desired states—clients can physically grow new neurons and connections at a rate of about a millimeter a month. This process can help addictions fall away by fixing alpha wave timing, removing the "need" for substances like alcohol to reach a relaxed state. Guest Information Dr. Amy Albright is the CEO and co-founder of Holon. Her work blends cutting-edge neuro-feedback with deep spiritual development to help leaders unlock rapid growth and resilience. • Free Resource: Visit her website for a free three-step practice to work with the energetic structures of the body and experience oneness. • Recommended Tool: The Neurovizr (light/sound brain guide). • Recommended Supplement: Lion's Mane mushroom for REM sleep and neural architecture.

Montreal commercial real estate is entering 2026 with a very different set of tailwinds and constraints. In this episode, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with James Papadimitriou, Senior Partner at McCarthy Tétrault and a long-time governance leader, to unpack what is actually changing beneath the headlines. They cover why "alternative" real estate is increasingly an operating business (hotels, senior living, data centers, student housing), how AI and automation could reshape industrial and construction productivity, and what programs like Canada Builds Homes could mean for financing, land, and delivery speed. They also dig into the macro shifts that matter for Montreal: defense and infrastructure momentum, immigration resets and rental dynamics, the return of in-person work and what that does to Class A office, and why boring and stable is still Canada's biggest advantage for global capital. Expect a grounded, optimistic, long-term lens on where the puck is going and how to position for it. Topics & Timestamps

What Happens When You Stop Smoking WeedAnxiety, emotional flooding, vivid dreams, REM sleep rebound, attachment patterns, and nervous system recalibration explained.Within this podcast episode, Aya dives into what actually happens in your body when you stop smoking weed not from a place of shame or fear, but through a nervous-system-informed, trauma-aware lens.She explores how cannabis interrupts natural emotional processing, why emotions can feel overwhelming when the numbness wears off, and why anxiety, sleep disruption, and vivid dreams are common during withdrawal. This episode breaks down emotional numbing, dissociation, REM sleep rebound, attachment styles, and the “emotional backlog” effect explaining why quitting can feel worse before it feels better.Rather than framing cannabis as the problem, Aya reframes the experience as a process of emotional completion, nervous system recalibration, and self-regulation. This episode is especially for anyone who has used weed to cope with stress, trauma, anxiety, or overwhelm and wants to understand what's actually happening in their body when they take a break.This is not an anti-weed conversation.It's an invitation into clarity, self-trust, and learning how to meet yourself when the numbness fades.If this resonates and you're craving structure, tools, and support while your nervous system recalibrates, you'll love the THE RESET COMMUNITY THE RESET SELF GUIDE 1:1 Coaching Meditation App Name: Field Trip

Closing in on 300 episodes of The Made To Thrive Show, it's been an enriching and empowering journey for me speaking to global experts and health heroes about their fields of expertise. So in honor of the 300 mark, I have put together a masterclass composed of the best insights for each of Made To Thrive's 7 Pillars To Thriving: purpose, community, sleep, nutrition, movement, self-quantification, and environment. Thriving - Pillar by Pillar distills the best of those conversations into one powerful series. Each episode is curated to help you not just understand a specific pillar — but how to take action to live it.This is Medicine 4.0 in action: preventative, proactive, personalized through data, and performance-enhancing. We believe sustainable health begins with awareness, and education is the foundation that transforms how we become aware of ourselves and the actions and habits that create our life. Only when we understand, can we identify both what's holding us back as well as the thriving that's possible. At the root of the word doctor is Latin for teacher. Through the Pillar by Pillar series, I hope each episode becomes a lesson about how to see health and wellness differently, and to empower you to take action, one intentional, educated step at a time.Sleep Sleep is the bedrock of recovery, brain health, and hormonal balance. Quality sleep—particularly deep and REM cycles—enhances cognitive function, emotional regulation, and metabolic health. Without proper sleep, even the best habits in nutrition or movement are seriously negated, making it a pillar you cannot skip.Featured quests:1. Dr Michael Breus2. Devin Burke3.

In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season. VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”
Quebec retail is outperforming expectations. Triple-A centres are running near-zero vacancy, rents are stabilizing, and consumers are spending more time in places that feel like destinations, not just shopping stops. In this episode, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with retail real estate leader Manon Larose to break down what is actually working right now: why retail is no longer "online vs in-store," how the tenant mix is shifting toward food, fitness, beauty, and entertainment, and why mixed-use is becoming the default playbook for major sites like Carrefour Laval and Royalmount. If you work in commercial real estate, leasing, development, or retail expansion, this is a practical look at what's driving demand and how to plan for 2026. Topics & Timestamps
This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter performer and recording artist Paul Litteral, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Paul Litteral trumpet interview" Find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here: https://bobreeves.com/blog/paul-litteral-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-147 About Paul Litteral: Hollywood Paul Litteral began to build his career playing in Broadway hits such as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, A Chorus Line and Chess. In 1978, Paul and saxophonist Arno Hecht founded the well-known group called the Uptown Horns. As their visibility increased, the band was recruited for rock and roll gigs and played many of New York's most famous clubs. Paul and the Uptown Horns went on their first rock and roll tour with the J. Geils Band in 1981 and that led to many other opportunities including engagements with The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Joe Cocker, James Brown, Pat Benatar, and Ray Charles. The band lists recording credits on over 150 albums including James Brown's Grammy Award winning "Living in America" and tracks for Joe Cocker, Albert Collins, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Palmer, Lou Reed and REM. In addition to continuing to play music, he began writing and found critical success with Hoboken to Hollywood, which earned him the 2011 Ovation Award for Musical Direction. Paul was also awarded Best Musical Direction by Stage Scene LA for Louis & Keely: Live' at the Sahara, which had a record run, playing to sold out audiences at the Geffen Playhouse. "Hollywood" Paul earned his nickname back in the 1980's due to his prodigious knowledge of film lore. Though his extensive contributions to the LA music scene have also helped add to that fabulous moniker. Paul's fame is within the world of Rock and Roll. On his latest album, "The Litteral Truth," he brings us a collection of songs that inspired his personal musical development. The Brecker Brothers, Edgar Winter and Steely Dan are a few of the artists we cover on the record, and revisiting these great cuts and reinterpreting them was a joyous excursion for all involved. Paul is a fun and talented man, and his records are spreading the joy of knowing him. -Bill Bodine Episode Links: Outrageous 8 Records Find the albums here: The Litteral Truth Legacy Instagram (@paullitteralmusic) YouTube channel The Other Side of the Bell Episode #92 - Paul Litteral (first appearance) Bob Reeves Brass Upcoming Events and Appearances: Trumpet Festival of the Southeast, Jan. 17, 2026, Kennesaw State University, Georgia Texas Music Educators Association Conference, Feb. 11-14 2026, San Antonio, Texas Dylan Music, Feb. 26-28, Woodbridge, New Jersey Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Paul Litteral Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg
In this episode of The Self-Driven Child Podcast, I sit down with my longtime partner, co-author, and neuropsychologist Dr. William Stixrud to dig deep into something hiding in plain sight: sleep. We talk about why so many kids, teens, and frankly adults are walking around chronically exhausted—and what that's quietly doing to learning, emotional health, and overall well-being. This conversation grew out of a powerful question a student asked us after we issued a real-world “sleep challenge,” and it opened the door to a fascinating look at how sleep actually works in the brain. Bill and I explore what happens when kids don't get enough rest, why tired brains struggle with attention, memory, and emotional regulation, and how sleep might be one of the most underestimated tools we have for supporting mental health, learning, and resilience. If you care about helping kids thrive—and about thriving yourself—this is one you won't want to miss. Episode Highlights:[0:00] – Why helping kids thrive is harder than it should be—and why sleep keeps getting overlooked [2:15] – The student sleep challenge and the big question: what does sleep actually do to the brain? [4:20] – How chronic sleep deprivation acts like chronic stress on developing brains [6:00] – Emotional control, anxiety, and why tired brains are more reactive and negative [9:00] – “Overnight therapy”: how REM sleep helps regulate emotions and perspective [10:25] – Sleep deprivation, anxiety, and depression: cause, effect, and the vicious cycle [11:59] – Why sleep regularity matters as much as total hours of sleep [15:00] – Sleep, physical health, appetite, and injury risk for athletes [17:20] – Why sleep deprivation mimics ADHD and wrecks attention and organization [19:55] – The startling study showing how small sleep losses erase years of cognitive growth [21:40] – How the brain replays and consolidates learning during sleep [22:30] – Why sleeping more can literally make you better at skills—even without more practice [27:15] – Practical, realistic strategies families can use to make sleep a shared value [31:00] – Why we need collective action, not lectures, to help teens get the sleep they need Links & Resources:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-self-driven-child/201807/why-its-always-better-to-sleep-on-it If this episode has helped you, remember to rate, follow, and share the Self-Driven Child Podcast.

This episode of the Atomic Anesthesia Podcast focuses on dexmedetomidine (Precedex), a highly selective α2-adrenergic agonist that provides cooperative, arousable sedation, analgesia, anxiolysis, and sympatholysis with minimal respiratory depression for perioperative and ICU care. Aimed at nurse anesthesia residents, it reviews dexmedetomidine's α2-selective pharmacology, rapid distribution and hepatic metabolism, and its ability to mimic non-REM sleep via locus coeruleus inhibition while significantly reducing MAC and opioid requirements. Listeners learn practical dosing strategies for OR, ICU, and procedural sedation, common indications such as awake fiberoptic intubation, MAC cases, withdrawal management, and pediatric emergence delirium, and key safety considerations including bradycardia, hypotension, transient hypertension with rapid loading, and the ongoing need for vigilant airway and hemodynamic monitoring when incorporating dexmedetomidine into multimodal anesthetic plans.Want to learn more?

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Safwan Badr, the newly appointed editor of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine and pulmonologist at Wayne State University, for an in-depth review of the most impactful articles published in JCSM during 2025. Dr. Badr discusses his vision for the journal and the editorial selection process, then guides listeners through key research findings shaping clinical practice. The conversation highlights both highly popular papers and important studies that deserve more attention from practicing clinicians. A significant focus is placed on research confirming that traditional 4% hypopnea criteria and CMS definitions systematically underestimate sleep apnea in women, with expanded diagnostic criteria helping mitigate these gender disparities. The episode explores groundbreaking research on sleep architecture and Alzheimer's disease, examining how lower slow wave sleep and REM sleep correlate with brain atrophy in AD-vulnerable regions, particularly the inferior parietal lobe. Consumer sleep technology receives critical examination through a meta-analysis comparing wrist-worn devices to polysomnography, revealing significant limitations in accuracy. Dr. Badr discusses implications for physicians and consumers who increasingly rely on these devices. Mental health intersects with sleep medicine through research showing that nightmares and insomnia in the acute aftermath of trauma predict suicidal ideation—nearly half of acute trauma patients with both conditions experience suicidal ideation within two months, highlighting urgent need for early interventions. Additional topics include Canadian research on CBT-I effectiveness during pregnancy and findings from the TODAY study examining obstructive sleep apnea's relationship with glycemic control and cardiovascular risk in young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes. Whether you're looking to stay current with evidence-based practice changes, interested in emerging research on sleep and neurodegeneration, or seeking to understand gender disparities in sleep medicine, this year-in-review provides essential updates.
In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dig into one of the most universal — and misunderstood — struggles in the first responder world: chronic fatigue (Amazon Affiliate) that doesn't go away, even after "enough" sleep. Police officers, firefighters, EMTs, dispatchers, corrections officers, and military members all experience a unique form of exhaustion that has little to do with laziness and everything to do with shift work, hypervigilance, trauma exposure, cortisol dysregulation, and emotional overload. If you've ever wondered, "Why am I still exhausted even when I'm off?" — this episode gives you the science, the psychology, and the strategies to finally understand what's happening inside your body.

Good sleep so complicated. There are endless tips about screens and supplements and gadgets that promise better rest, but most of us aren't thinking about the three biggest levers that actually move the needle. The quality of your sleep is really a reflection of how you lived your day. When you challenge yourself physically, challenge yourself mentally and clear the things that are weighing on you, your body naturally shifts into deeper, more restorative rest. Sleep improves when your body is tired in the right ways, your mind has worked enough to want a break and your stress is addressed instead of pushed to the side. Today we are breaking sleep down to three simple, powerful habits that human performance experts say will help you get the best sleep of your life by focusing on how you show up during the day. Human performance experts like Chris Williamson, Alex Hormozi, Gary Brecka and Casey Means all point to the same truth Hack 1: Exhaust yourself physically during the day • When your body is physically spent, you fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. • Being busy is not the same as being physically active. Movement creates real sleep pressure. • Getting steps in, lifting something heavy, walking more, sweating a little and staying on your feet helps your body crave rest at night. • Huberman and Matthew Walker both explain that daily movement increases adenosine, which builds the urge to sleep. • Kelly LeVeque and Casey Means show how balanced blood sugar from movement reduces nighttime cortisol spikes. • Gary Brecka talks about completing the physiological stress cycle so the nervous system knows it's safe to shut down. • Examples: long walks, workouts, organizing or cleaning days, anything that gets your heart rate up or keeps you consistently moving. Hack 2: Exhaust yourself mentally by challenging your brain • Most people feel mentally busy but not mentally challenged, which leaves the brain restless at night. • Learn something, solve something, try something new, figure something out, read, study, dive into a topic. • When you grow mentally and make progress, your brain feels complete and ready for rest. • Chris Williamson says nighttime overthinking often comes from not using the mind in a meaningful way during the day. • Alex Hormozi emphasizes that progress, even small progress, lowers internal friction and mental clutter. • Casey Means explains how real cognitive engagement stabilizes dopamine, which lowers the nighttime seeking behavior that keeps people scrolling instead of sleeping. • Neuroscience research shows that learning increases the brain's need for REM sleep because it needs to file those memories. • Examples: learning new systems, improving a process, starting a new skill, working on something that feels mentally tricky or step heavy. Hack 3: Solve your problems during the day so your mind can rest at night • Nothing disrupts sleep more than unresolved stress or conversations that still need to be had. • The crumbs metaphor works perfectly here. Just like crumbs irritate you all night, unresolved issues do the same mentally. • Have the conversations, apologize, forgive, clear the air, make progress on debt, take one step toward the thing you've been avoiding. • Gary Vee talks often about how anxiety comes from avoiding the very thing we know we need to do. • Dave Ramsey points out that money problems are one of the biggest sleep killers and even a simple plan reduces that load. • Gary Brecka explains how mental stress raises cortisol and keeps your system in high alert, which blocks deep sleep. • Huberman suggests cognitive unloading, writing everything down, to calm the brain before bed. • Matthew Walker reminds us that sleep cannot negotiate with an anxious mind. • Suggestions: write everything down, even if you can't talk to the person yet, get clarity in writing, pick one step toward solving your biggest stressor so you can rest knowing you are in motion. •Inhale the good, exhale the bad. When you really think about these three habits, you realize that great sleep isn't just a nighttime routine. It's the natural reward for how intentionally you live your day. When you move your body, challenge your mind and clear the things that are weighing on you, your system settles in a way that no gadget or supplement can replace. You go to bed feeling complete instead of overwhelmed, tired in the right ways instead of drained in the wrong ones. These three simple practices will change the way you rest and the way you wake up. Better sleep leads to better days, and better days lead to a better life. You truly can create the best sleep of your life by designing the kind of day that makes peaceful rest the obvious, automatic outcome.
You can outwork a lot of things, but you can't outwork bad sleep. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Michael Breus, renowned clinical psychologist and sleep expert, to break down the science, strategy, and psychology behind truly restorative sleep. From understanding your body's nightly repair cycle to optimizing your environment for peak recovery, this conversation is a masterclass in reclaiming your energy, focus, and longevity. Here's what you'll learn: Why sleep impacts every organ system — and how your body repairs physical and emotional stress while you rest How to determine your optimal sleep amount (and whether you're actually getting enough) What it takes to create a truly high-performance sleep environment and avoid the traps that wreck recovery If you want to win tomorrow, it starts with how you recover tonight. ---- Show Notes: 02:57 — Sleep 101: what deep sleep and REM actually do (physical repair vs. emotional “metabolism”) and why the glymphatic system matters. 10:26 — There's no one-size-fits-all “optimal” sleep — how to know your right amount and when low sleep becomes a red flag for underlying disorders. 15:16 — Sleep debt and social jet lag: when catching up works (teens) and when it backfires for adults. 18:06 — The “napa-latte” and smart napping: how to use short naps and caffeine to survive a bad night without sabotaging the next one. 20:02 — The sleep system audit: mattress, pillow, air quality, light, sound, and temperature — the practical adjustments that move the needle. 29:29 — Which gadgets help vs. harm: why mouth tape is dangerous, when nasal dilators work, and the limits of sleep trackers. 32:34 — Alcohol and meal timing: how much, how early, and the three-hour rule to protect your deep sleep. 39:00 — Caffeine and cannabis timing: caffeine's half-life, green tea/matcha alternatives, and how THC/CBD impact REM and HRV. 45:06 — Supplements decoded: magnesium, vitamin D, and why most people don't need nightly melatonin — plus important dosing pitfalls. 51:09 — Creatine and sleep deprivation: what current research actually supports (and what it doesn't). ---- Links & Resources: Dr. Michael Breus Sleep, Drink, Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health by Dr. Michael Breus Orion Sleep Oura Ring WHOOP Strap ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff explores the architecture of sleep — the repeating nightly cycles that carry us from light sleep into deep restoration and vivid REM dreaming. He breaks down N1, N2, and N3 sleep, explains why deep sleep is essential for physical repair and immune function, and describes how REM helps us process emotion, creativity, and memory. Along the way, Jeff highlights the science behind hypnagogia — the imaginative threshold between waking and sleep that inspired minds like Einstein and Dalí — and how understanding these stages can help you wake with more clarity and ease. Whether you struggle with groggy mornings, restless nights, or inconsistent energy, this episode offers a clear and grounded roadmap for understanding your sleep patterns — and aligning your life with the rhythms your body already knows.

And I found this holster company that will make any custom holster you want. They do something that if have not seen before in adding leather to the inside for a smooth draw. I love the fact that they will make a custom holster for non stock guns, because none of my pistols are the stock setup. Like my S&W Shield 45 with a threaded barrel, ez lock comp, and a red dot.Sense this is supposed to be a question, what do you all think of holsters with leather lined inside, and not I don't care about Aaron's thoughts, so that question is for everyone else. www.giholsters.com/product-p/hst1490.htm Roger B - So I have a CZ BREN 2 and I was wondering if yall have come across a 3D printed lower that accepts standard AR parts? I know that HAGA defense makes them but they are $450. The lower on the BREN isn't the serialized part so that's not the problem and it's polymer anyways so I was thinking a 3D printed one should work just fine. Thanks for the help. Lance D - Is Cloud Defensive going the same route as BRC? I ordered a light that was in stock on August 1st 2025. It is now almost October 1st with no light in hand. All they've said is, “Due to a leaked coupon code, we are trying to catch up on orders.” I call BS! If an item was in stock, it shouldn't take 2+ months to ship! Never again will I purchase one of there products! Mind you this was off of their actual website Mike H - Planning an sbr build around 8"" for when the tax goes to $0, debating between a 9mm (probably a mat9k or sp9a3), a brn-180 gen3 in .300blk, but also thinking other calibers like 10mm, 45, and willing to consider other options. Not wanting direct blowback but roller delayed is great, small overall package preferred. P.S. Don't make too much fun of Aaron's small package, it's why he grabs other peoples' packages Desert D Deagleton - Does the cast consider the Ruger Blackhawk to be a cowboy gun? It's quite different from a Colt. Adjacent question, were there aftermarket adjustable sights for Colt SAAs or the competition back in the day? Perhaps Lyman made something in the 20s or something. I really like having real sights on a revolver cause of my garbage vision. Are there any other SAA clones that have taller adjustable sights but look less modern like the Blackhawks do? Warren Peace - Youz guyz, Do you prefer a fixed blade or folder for every day/pocket carry? Thank you for your wise counsel, magic 8 ball, Severely, Warren Peace Nate L - Is it just me, or does that deal bro jiggle get stuck in your head as well? I find myself randomly humming it or singing it sometimes... Jeremy's Bitch - Do you guys have any fixed blade knives mounted to plate carriers or battle belts? If so, which ones?

This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, WHOOP and Timeline. Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD joins us today to break down what brain fitness really means and why modern life is overwhelming a biological system that was never designed for today's pace. Dr. Porter explains how brain energy, neuroplasticity, breathwork, mitochondria, sleep architecture, stress physiology, light exposure, and daily rituals all influence our ability to think clearly, recover deeply, and perform at a high level. We explore the science behind neurogenesis, the glymphatic system, alpha and delta brainwave states, the impact of sugar and artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline, how breathing and light frequencies regulate the nervous system, and why most people are unknowingly compromising their sleep, metabolism, and cognitive output. Packed with actionable tools—from box breathing and SMR training to healthier morning routines, supplements, and digital hygiene—this episode is a masterclass on how to build a sharper brain and age better.

In this episode Dr. K breaks down why most people cannot “fall in love with the grind” no matter how hard they try. The real problem is exhaustion. Not the good kind of tired you feel after a full day on the lake, but the worn-out, stretched-thin kind that builds up from emotional avoidance, poor focus, and physical deconditioning. Weekends and vacations only mask the issue instead of fixing it, and modern habits like using devices before bed or relying on substances wreck the REM sleep needed for recovery. He explains that loving the grind only becomes possible after rebuilding your capacity. That means emotional conditioning, better focus, strengthening the body, and viewing your current work as a stepping stone to the life you want. The first weeks are harder and more tiring, but over a few months your baseline energy rises, your work becomes more manageable, and the grind starts to feel rewarding instead of draining. Topics include: Why most exhaustion comes from emotional suppression, not workload How poor focus and constant distraction drain more energy than the work itself The impact of physical weakness, posture issues, and poor sleep on daily fatigue Why REM sleep is essential for emotional processing and daily reset Reconditioning yourself through emotional awareness, focus training, and basic movement How to frame your current job as a stepping stone so your brain stops giving up HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff kicks off a new series on sleep — exploring why rest is one of the most powerful levers for improving our health. One in four adults isn't getting seven hours a night, and the consequences are immediate: insulin resistance, weakened immunity, emotional volatility, and chronic fatigue. Drawing from his new Sleep Essentials course, Jeff breaks down what's actually happening in the body when we fall short on rest — from metabolic disruption to amygdala overactivation — and explains why modern life makes it so hard to wind down. He also explores the evolutionary purpose of sleep, the biology behind deep and REM cycles, and the hidden nightly processes that repair the brain and reset our emotional balance. This episode sets the foundation for the rest of the series, offering a clear understanding of the sleep crisis we're facing and why reclaiming healthy sleep is essential to our wellbeing.
Most sleep aids sedate you, but they don't restore you. In this episode, we dive deep into RESTORED, the natural sleep peptide developed to quiet the brain's stress signals and bring back real, restorative sleep. Learn how this bioactive peptide rebalances the orexin–cortisol system, restores REM and deep sleep, and helps you wake clear, calm, and energized again. You'll hear real-world results, the science behind why we dream, and how stress, light, and hormones disrupt your circadian rhythm… plus what happens when you finally get your sleep back.

Send us a textEver wish you could quiet the story in your head without having to relive it? We sit down with Marine veteran and defense-tech CEO Tony Crescenzo to explore a practical, science-backed way to downshift the nervous system using neuroacoustic entrainment. Tony opens up about the years he spent running hot—rage, hypervigilance, and fractured sleep—and how a targeted audio protocol shifted his sleep from barely restorative to deeply replenishing. The conversation gets real about why so many first responders and veterans avoid talk therapy, and how culturally aware approaches can make all the difference.We break down the sleep architecture behind feeling human again. Slow wave sleep restores the body; REM sleep stabilizes emotion and consolidates memory. Tony shares research showing meaningful gains in both, along with a 9% boost in threat recognition—vital for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and military communities where seconds matter. You'll hear how suppressing the prefrontal “rumination engine” while opening the anterior cingulate, parietal, and occipital regions enables somatic processing: the body digests stress so the mind can stand down.Then we zoom out to cognitive resilience—the brain's ability to adapt quickly under pressure. Using EEG-guided and AI-personalized protocols, entrainment builds coherence front-to-back and left-to-right, easing brain fog and improving metabolic efficiency. The result is a steadier baseline, faster recovery after spikes, and sleep that actually repairs. If you've been stuck between white-knuckle coping and sterile clinical answers, this is a credible path you can start at home, including free app tracks for power naps, rumination relief, and sleep support.How to reach Jonathan: 1) https://www.IntelligentWaves.com 2) https://www.PeakNeuro.com3) https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycrescenzo/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
