145: If I Had To Fix My Sleep in One Week, I'd Do THIS

Most people treat sleep as a shopping problem — a new mattress, a supplement, a fancy tracker. But that's not what's broken. Your body is waiting for signals it evolved to read, and modern life stopped sending them.

In this episode, I break down the three most common sleep problems — trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up exhausted — and walk you through how to identify which one you're actually dealing with. Then I give you a simple, free, week-by-week framework to start fixing it without buying anything.

The one thing I'd do first? Get outside within an hour of waking up. No sunglasses, no phone. Just real daylight. That single habit sets the tone for everything that follows.

Peluva makes minimalist shoes to support optimal foot, back and joint health. I started wearing Peluvas several months ago, and I haven't worn regular shoes since. I encourage you to consider trading your sneakers or training shoes for a pair of Peluvas, and then watch the health of your feet and lower back improve while reducing your risk of injury.
