1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: Hey, there, everybody. It is Wednesday, December thirty first, and 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: so many of us, some of us, I should say, 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: might be planning our New Year's Eve celebrations, but a 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: lot of us are planning our New Year's resolutions. What 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: we're going to do better in twenty twenty six, what 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: we've gotten wrong in twenty twenty five. And I am 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: curious just how many of you have sleep on your 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: list of things to improve on for twenty twenty six. DJ, 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: I know it's on your list. 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been there for the past. I don't know, 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: twenty years of my life crushing it now. No, it's 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: a struggle for a lot of people. And look, you 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: make all these resolutions about all the stuff you want 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: to do. In fact is you can't do any of 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: it until you get better sleep. You really cannot be 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 2: good and efficient. You can maintain, you can get back. 17 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: I who knows what I could have been if I 18 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: had proper sleep and I had a successful career. Who 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 2: knows I could have been president if I just had 20 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: enough sleep. 21 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: It is true if you think about it. It's something 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: we talk a lot about, but in actuality, we deprioritize 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: it every single day and It affects your mood, It 24 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: affects your health, It affects how you treat yourself, how 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: you treat others, how productive you are. It actually is 26 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: probably one of the most important things we do other 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: than eat right in terms of surviving. 28 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: We consider that a necessity, but we don't consider sleeping necessity. 29 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 2: So with that in mind, yes, the idea all these resolutions. 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: I bet most people who are listening and have a 31 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: resolution to have a list, sleep is probably not on it, 32 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: but it needs to be number one. Now look at 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 2: your list and say, hm, can I do that without 34 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: being rested? Can I do that? Probably not? Yep. 35 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: It affects everything, So this is interesting. Do you know 36 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: the phrase I'm tired reached its highest point ever on 37 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: Google trends. That happened two years ago and I just checked. 38 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable how high people just put in Google I'm 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: tired because they want to find out why, what they 40 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: can do about it, how they can figure out how 41 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: to survive throughout the day while being tired. But that 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: just tells you where we are. Ninety one percent of 43 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: adults consistently report not feeling well rested. How often would 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: you say on a daily basis, you feel not well rested. 45 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: Oh, this is a this is an everyday thing. I 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: never feel well rested ever. Ever, there usually comes a 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: day when I have actually had to be up twenty 48 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: four hours or more. You know me, I have these 49 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: moments I push myself because something's got to get done, 50 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: and then the next day I have no choice and 51 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 2: I will pass out anywhere in the house. And that's 52 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: the only time I get decent sleep is I have 53 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: to kill myself the day before it gets so exhausted 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: to get sleep. And those are the only times. And 55 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: you see how often that happens. And not even once 56 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: a month do I get good sleep. 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: I always every day I'm hopeful, like, how'd you sleep? 58 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: And you're like, same, I've been up for hours. I 59 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: wake up at four and you have been up for hours. 60 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: That is what it is almost every day. And you're 61 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: not alone. And here's the thing you haven't tried. Three 62 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: and four people who were a part of what's called 63 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: the Snooze Report. It's calm dot COM's sleep study. They 64 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: did a big one and here are the results from it. 65 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: Three and four say they don't want to be dependent 66 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: on sleep aids and yet forty two percent say they 67 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: cannot sleep without them. 68 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: What are sleeping? 69 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: You can have anything from melatonin to trasidone to and pilm. Okay, yes, 70 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: so it runs the gammut. 71 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: It's kind of just putting on a mask. 72 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Correct. No, No, we're talking about actually taking a pill. 73 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: So forty two percent can't sleep without them. Fifty five 74 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: percent of people do turn to medication, marijuana, or alcohol 75 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: to try and help them sleep, and ninety one percent yes, 76 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: don't feel rested, But seventy three percent say they're open 77 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: to trying new things to improve their sleep. Are you 78 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: open to try new things? 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: Try anything? I'll try anything. It doesn't get in a 80 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: way my work schedule. 81 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: There you go, right. And fifty two percent of adults 82 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: take naps at least once a week, but fifteen percent 83 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: of adults nap every single day. You nap when you're desperate, 84 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: when you don't intend to. That's when you fall asleep 85 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: on the couch. 86 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: The thing my nap is usually something that registers are 87 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: my or ring that happens between eight and nine thirty 88 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: because I passed out early and then I get up 89 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: and go get in the bed. But I think the 90 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 2: naps you're talking about of people like in the middle. 91 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: Of the day they choose to take a nap. You 92 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: just actually fall asleep without realizing. That's that's called like desperation. 93 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: How many hours of sleep do you believe you get 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: each night? 95 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: Like on average three to five? I average place four four. 96 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: That is abysmal. Obviously, the recommendation is between seven and eight. 97 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: Only thirty one percent of adults get seven hours of 98 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: sleep or more. 99 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: You don't have to be rude about it. 100 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: Indeed, all right, so you know what the holy grail 101 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: of sleep is? 102 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: Correct? 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: What all the experts say you need to do to 104 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: get a good night's rest? Can you name them? 105 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: What do you mean? 106 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: Yeah? What the experts say you should do before and 107 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: as you prepare to sleep? Are there? Do you have 108 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: like a checklist? You know what that is? With you? 109 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 2: I have one. 110 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you've heard it over the years. 111 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: I imagine telling you the same thing. That room needs 112 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 2: to be dark, it needs to be a certain temperature, 113 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: it needs you need to make sure you don't look 114 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: at any screens ahead of time. I had somebody say 115 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: the bed should only be for sleep and sex. You 116 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: should not be watching TV or on your computer or 117 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: doing anything else. So I think we've all heard those 118 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: our whole life. Yeah, what you're supposed to be doing. 119 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: I think that's more specific stuff about when to eat 120 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: and no alcohol as well. 121 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you just named you just named everything. A cool, dark, 122 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: quiet room, sixty to sixty seven degrees. I will say, Babe, 123 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: you like your rooms warm, bright and loud. Yeah, so 124 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: that's I've had to adjust. Well, it's certainly not quiet. 125 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: You like the TV on, you like it warm, and 126 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: with the TV on there are bright lights. 127 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: Can't do coal. I do dim the TV for you. 128 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: You do, and I end up, Actually, I don't know 129 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: if you realize I do this, but I actually create 130 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: another pillow to block out the TV lights so I 131 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: don't see it when I'm. 132 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: Sleeping that for a while. So when I start dimming, 133 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: I take it down to zero on the brightness. 134 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: Yes, and then you know, sometimes if I get really hot, 135 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: I'll sneak and turn the temperature down a little bit. Trust, 136 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: So we deal with that. Yes, not drinking alcohol or 137 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: caffeine in the several hours before bed, and then another 138 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: big thing is having that regular bedtime and wake up time. 139 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: So you did everything that the experts say, but there's 140 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: a trend on TikTok and it boomed this year. It's 141 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: called sleep maxing, So TikTok users, these are non scientific, 142 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: non expert based tips basically on how to improve your sleep. 143 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: Curious if you've heard of any of these, and these 144 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: have a massed hundreds of thousands of us.

It's the cool phrase sleep maxing. 148 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: So nostril expanders. Have you heard of that? 149 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: How do you expand one's nostrils? 150 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: There's something you put in your nose to help your breathing. 151 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: It like it's like it's a tape or something like. 152 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: It expands anyway, if you go online, you can buy 153 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: nostril expanders. People tape their mouths so that they don't 154 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: snore it they think that that helps you. Yes, they've 155 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: said don't do this, but they're all showing how you 156 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: Actually you can buy mouth tape so that you don't snore. 157 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: You it's supposed to help sleep apnea, maybe help your 158 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: partners sleep better because you're not making noises. It prevents 159 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: dry mouth all of those. 160 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: Things possibly causes death. What are you doing? 161 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: Yes, it's dangerous, but that's a part of this trend. 162 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: Weighted blankets. We've heard a lot about that. Some people 163 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: believe in red light therapy before they go to bed, 164 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: those led lights that are like everything now, apparently they 165 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: cure everything from acney to wrinkles to sleeping. 166 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: We're just talking. 167 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: And then people take supplements like magnesium and melatonin. But 168 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: when people do this on their own and self prescribed, 169 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: they don't know how much they're taking and they aren't sure, 170 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: so doctors don't recommend that either without speaking to a physician. 171 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: And then here's another one, eating kiwi before bed. Apparently 172 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: it has sera tonin boosting properties and antioxidants that help 173 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: induce sleep. So I guess that couldn't harm anyone. If 174 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: you want to eat some kiwi before bed. 175 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: Might be up in the middle of the night as. 176 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine, I'm thought about that. But the other 177 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: thing that is a part of this trend, this sleep baccine, 178 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: is wearing some device like an or ring, which we 179 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: started this year. This was the first year we wore 180 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: our or rings fairly regularly, not every single night, But 181 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: here's the warning that comes with the or ring. Be 182 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: careful not to get obsessed and constantly check the app 183 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: and letting its feedback negatively influence your perspective on your 184 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: day or your upcoming sleep. 185 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 2: You know what your mom warned about that and why 186 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: she didn't like the or ring, and it made sense. 187 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 2: We are addicted to it and we look can we 188 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: use it for information? Usually we've gotten to a point now, 189 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: don't you feel that when you get up in the 190 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: morning and how you feel, you can guess your score? 191 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent. And it has been to me, 192 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: it's it's been accurate. 193 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 2: It's been consistent. They've been great. But to their point 194 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: and to your mom's point, if you look at it 195 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 2: and you immediately say, wow, I didn't get a good 196 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: night's sleep, you might get into the mindset of, oh, 197 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: it's gonna be a terrible day, Oh my god, I 198 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: feel bad, and now every little thing that happens you. 199 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: Just blame it on your sleep score. And so yes, 200 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: I agree, and that is the danger of these rings. 201 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: But when we come back, this is really interesting. Aura 202 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: ring has now given not just a personal so if 203 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: you have one, it gives you your personal sleep data 204 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: for the year. But they also gave some really interesting 205 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: sleep data. And think about it, they are tracking people 206 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: around the world which countries get the best sleep men 207 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: versus women. There's some really interesting trends in twenty twenty 208 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: five that Ara Ring was able to put together and 209 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: give to you about how we are sleeping. Welcome back 210 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: everyone to this New Year's Eve edition of Amy and TJ. 211 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: And we are talking about something that probably should be 212 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: on all of our New Year's resolution lists, sleep better, 213 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: sleep more, because we're all failing at it, it seems 214 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: collectively as a human population these days. And I don't 215 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: think we acknowledge how much. When we think about it, 216 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: it's obvious how much sleep or lack thereof affects our 217 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: lives and how we treat each other and how we 218 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: treat ourselves. 219 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 2: I don't know if we do pay enough attention to that, 220 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: right we think it's our problem if we're not getting 221 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: enough sleep and how we feel, but it has everything 222 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: to do with everybody around you having to deal with 223 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: your ass I mean included I come. Oh my goodness, 224 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: the number of times I come to you and apologize 225 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 2: and say, hey, I'm not feeling I can't. I'm struggling 226 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 2: with it. I can tell. I guess that's just experience 227 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: and maybe maturity and being willing and to say, hey, 228 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 2: I know I'm not okay and I know why, and 229 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: I'll apolog up say I am so sorry. I have 230 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: now sleep is now something that I owe you. 231 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: You have said that exact same thing to me, and 232 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: I appreciate it because it does. It does put things 233 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: into perspective and it makes a lot of sense. Think 234 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: about it a baby, little kids when they need a 235 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: n app that's exactly what we are just we're just 236 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: grown adults, but we're still acting the same when we 237 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: don't get enough sleep like babies. 238 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: That's true. 239 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: That is true, all right. So when it comes to 240 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: rest or a ring put together after they have been 241 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: monitoring folks whom around the world with their sleep scores, 242 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: can you guess which countries and they're right next to 243 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: each other recorded the highest average sleep scores in the world, 244 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: New Zealand and Australia. Is that interesting? Eighty for New Zealand, 245 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: seventy nine point four for Australia. That was their average 246 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: sleep score. And we know what our sleep scores have 247 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: been over the year. That has. That's pretty impressive to 248 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: have an average sleep score of eighty for a country, 249 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: for a nation, which one was that New Zealand highest, 250 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: the sleeping a lot and sleeping well, maybe because they're 251 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: separated geographically from a lot of the world. They just 252 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: feel like they're in their own little bubble and it's blissful. 253 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 2: Well, it has something to do with climate or limited technology. 254 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 2: Is something about New Zealand because I know how hard 255 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 2: it is to get an eighty four sleep score. 256 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: Do you know what New Zealand? New Zealand has incredible 257 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: And I've never been and I've always wanted to go hiking, 258 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: outdoor activities. People are outside and maybe by being active 259 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: and physically active you sleep better on that does make 260 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And the fact that Australia is 261 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: right behind them at seventy nine point four that's interesting. Also, 262 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,479 Speaker 1: there is a they say, a very interesting gender divis internationally, 263 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: women versus men. Who do you think sleep's better women 264 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: or men? 265 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: Men? 266 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: So women have higher they get significantly more sleep, is 267 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: what aurr Ring described it as. So women on average 268 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: get seven and a quarter hours of sleep each night. 269 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: That's impressive. Men, on the other hand, get six point 270 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: eight hours of sleep a night. That is an average. 271 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: Does that surprise you at all? 272 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: No, I have no idea how people sleep. I have 273 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 2: no idea what sleep is, what it's about. I have 274 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: no idea. 275 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: No. And so women are getting more sleep. However, women 276 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: showed more higher stress responses. Something that the or ring 277 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: also monitors is your state of relaxation versus your state 278 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: of anxiety. Women had one hundred and twenty nine minutes 279 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: a day of physiological stress, so it's reading on your 280 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: body metrics that the or ring is able to measure. 281 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: Women have over two hours of physiological stress each day, 282 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: men ninety seven minutes. That's a pretty big difference. That's 283 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: another half hour plus of stress that women have for 284 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: whatever reason that we take on in our bodies that 285 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: is readable by the Aura ring. 286 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 2: Maybe getting too much leep. 287 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: All right, So we have our Aura year enders and 288 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: this year get I don't know how long they've been 289 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: doing this. We've only had the or ring for one year, 290 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: but they have a new feature this year for any 291 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: of you Aura ring wearers. And I'm sure you've looked already, 292 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: because this started popping up last week and we didn't 293 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: look at it until today, and hopefully each year they'll 294 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: get a little bit more and more. But they start 295 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: out with this fun thing. Based on your body metrics 296 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: and your sleep scores, they give you a type, either 297 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: your earth, water, fire, or air. So Earth types are 298 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: defined by resilience and consistency. Water types prioritize restorative sleep 299 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: and evening calm. Fire types had the daily movement stars, 300 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: they had high activity levels, and air types had a 301 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: year noted for restoration and lightness. I guarantee you neither 302 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: one of us are water or air or earth. 303 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: So what that leaves what fire? 304 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: So when I opened mind, that's what I got. Fire? 305 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: Is that what you got? 306 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: Water? 307 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: What prioritized restorative sleep and evening calm? That's interesting. 308 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm not mind. Just a proved point. I mean, yes, 309 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: that's what it is. I don't know what that means, 310 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: but yes, it says I found calumnor sort of flow 311 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: in the evenings this year. Nothing refreshes your body like consistent, 312 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: high quality rest. So keep riding the gentle wave into 313 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. 314 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: You know what I will say at night, you do 315 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: calm down. You do slow down, maybe because you have to, 316 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: because your body's so exhausted. 317 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been sixteen straight hours of running. Yes, that's true. 318 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: Rest Okay, So I was fire. That's you burning through 319 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: your activity goals. You were a daily movement star. Keep 320 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: that momentum going, and remember that recovery time helps to 321 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: fuel activity like oxygen to a flame. So let me 322 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: know that I'm active, but probably not doing a good 323 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: job of being restorative. Anything else that popped up to 324 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: you with your we were looking at all the different 325 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: only January. 326 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: It is the only other thing that popped up to 327 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: me that it actually said that was the month I 328 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 2: had last year of most restorative sleep. Okay, January. And 329 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: it was interesting that January is when I do what 330 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: I do dry January. 331 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I don't. 332 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: Drink in January. It is I'm about to do that 333 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: once again. And it said my best month was January 334 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: in terms of the type of sleep I got. 335 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: That is super super interesting. How about I Actually I 336 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: was laughing at the naps I took. How many naps 337 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: did you take for the year? They actually it says 338 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: forty two. It says I took thirty four naps. That's 339 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: probably close to being accurate. 340 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: I don't think think we took any naps, going to 341 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: sleep at eight o'clock on the couch because you passed out, 342 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 2: waking up at nine point thirty, going and taking off 343 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: your makeup and then getting in beds that they at 344 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 2: the registers as a nap, So I don't. You don't go. 345 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: Neither one of us goes at Oh it's two O'clock'm 346 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 2: gonna lay down for a minute. 347 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: We don't take naps, neither one of us. I cannot 348 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: recall saying, hey babe, I'm gonna go take a nap 349 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: right now. We absolutely have not done that. 350 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 2: I said I wanted to. I said I'm gonna try to. 351 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: That is absolutely true. A cardiovascular age, was it mostly 352 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: aligned with your actual age? 353 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: Yes, I think two years younger. 354 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: Mine's six point five years younger. And that reads with 355 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: the national trend. They say that women have lower cardiovascular 356 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: ages than men typically, or at least that's what they found. 357 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: They tell you how many steps you took, but you'd 358 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: have to be wearing your ring all day long, which 359 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: we absolutely don't. When were you most active did you 360 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: get that score? 361 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: I think it was eight am. 362 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: Oh, mine's a nine am. So yes, morning mover. And 363 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: that is absolutely true. So look, this is one of 364 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: those in interesting things where it just gives you a 365 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: little bit of a history of your year and what 366 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: you can improve on. My most active month was August 367 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: and my most active day is Friday. I think those 368 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: things make sense. It's warm, you're moving around a bunch. 369 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: That makes sense. What did you get? 370 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: I don't kind of remember a month in my most 371 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: active month. But again, we don't wear the rings during 372 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 2: the day. That's a little that's absolutely I certainly don't 373 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: wear mine during the day. 374 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: I wear mine more doing the day than you do, 375 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: and that's probably why I got a higher activity or 376 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: the whole fire thing. But look, anything that can measure 377 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: or I think, put sleep goals in front of your 378 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: head so that you are actually being intentional about when 379 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: you go to sleep, how you prepare for sleep, and 380 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: how important it is to you. Wearing these rings, they 381 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: can make you a little crazy with trying to not 382 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: get hung up on a bad sleep score, but they 383 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: do put sleeping in the forefront of your mind, and 384 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: I think that's something we forget about all the time, 385 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: and so it's something that we are both going to 386 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: try and do better about. In twenty twenty. Maybe this 387 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: is the year, babe, you're gonna get a sleep score, 388 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: or you're gonna start getting five to six hours at night. 389 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: That would be wonderful. 390 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 2: It really is a plan I know I need to 391 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 2: do bestly. I'm getting older and this is damaging my 392 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 2: houme shortening my life by not getting enough sleep. 393 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: I know that, and we would like you around for 394 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: as long. 395 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 2: As possible the week. 396 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: Sabine and me and all the family and friends who 397 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: love you so much probably got that too, right and 398 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: without everyone, we hope you get some rest, but certainly 399 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: have some fun tonight first, and then maybe maybe start 400 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: on January one.
