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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwaWilO_Pig

that was the last podcast I listened to, and it was so informative. As I've grown older I've definitely been prioritising my sleep more. While in school I was getting maybe 6h on average for 4y, but now I aim for 8 or 9h of sleep.

I preferred his interview on the Kevin Rose podcast: https://www.kevinrose.com/single-post/matthew-walker

Incidentally a previous podcast covered a lot of the same ground, plus much more: https://www.kevinrose.com/single-post/Serge-Faguet
