    Dr. Attia, I have already pre-ordered your book (hard copy) but please just spend your precious time with your family. The years fly bye and I would expect that 20-30 years from now (when your children will have moved out and live hundreds/thousands miles away) you'll look back and be glad that you spend this extra time with them

    i have chronic insomnia going for nearly 10y now and whatever i do i cant seem to fix it - got it from taking various melatonin supplements averaging 8g per night. slept like a baby before, but during supplementation my sleep has been degrading every week for 3-4 months (peak was when i couldnt sleep for 4 days straight and had to admit myself to the ICU). after this my sleep has never been the same and its wrecking havoc on every part of my life and body. the ridiculous part is me taking M for its perceived antioxidant benefits since my circadian rhythm was always very messy (hinders endogenous production). i dont know where to seek help from
    any longer. please dont play games with your sleep and dont think that OTC meds always have an exemplary safety profile, even if the research says so (ie, using massive doses of M for months without side effects). cognition is the first thing to go and its the worst feeling. dont deprive yourself of sleep, treat it with outmost respect, please.

    Feel this podcast is meant for me. My whole family seems to struggle with sleep. I would buy the Oura ring but truth be told I already know when I sleep poorly.
    I have taken several Cognitive Behavioral Courses for sleep with minimal results. I follow Andrew Huberman’s Sleep recommendations with early morning light exposure, temperature reduction,caffeine restriction and food/alcohol abstinence close to bedtime. I have tried CBD, THC with minimal effects. I took the DNA company DNA test and all 6 sleep DNA driven Sleep determinants are not optimal for me. I also tried the DNA Company Sleep Optimizer. It didn’t work Do not want to take any sleeping pills. I would love to get more/better sleep. I just don’t know what to try next

    going to sleep on an empty stomach is great. But three hours is a bit too soon. Aim for six. You get effortless extended fasts especially since early breakfast is easy to skip. Before I fasted I used to not be able to sleep on my left and would sometimes wake up in great pain with wind. Losing weight and not eating late means lying on my left immediately moves up the wind so I can now sleep in all positions.

    If you could please answer this question? I work 5 nights in a row then off for 5 days. My first day off is when I get off work that morning. What do you think would be a better way to sleep for recovery. A) Go to bed for a 4 hours or so when you get home around 8:30 and then try to sleep later in the evening for the night. B) Stay awake for the day and go to bed later in the evening. C) Sleep for 7 or 8 hours and try to sleep again later? Sorry for the long question.What would you suggest???

    It’s generally better when the author reads the book, especially someone with Dr Attia’s distinctive voice. I listened to the audiobook version of Lifespan by Dr Sinclair. It was a much better experience because Dr Sinclair himself read the book, plus he added some extra stuff in the audiobook version where he and his co-author engaged in discussion between chapters that added some context and updates to the book.

    My husband and I are PhDs raising three kids aged 8 and under. Our toddler unfortunately has type one diabetes He was dx at age fourteen months after basically not sleeping since birth. We now sleep with his diabetes management devices - including alarms to wake us up when he needs insulin or glucose. He suffers from some trauma and wakes us up sometimes himself. Mom’s sleep in particular has been absolutely demolished in raising this precious child. How can she continue to prioritize her health even as we cannot sleep more.

    Couple things that helped me sleep was to only lay in bed when Im about to go to sleep at night and using my phone for no more than 10 mins in bed. If I wanna nap during the day, I do it on the couch or on the floor. I trained my body to where my head feels a pillow and a blanket around my waist, its sleepy time lol. And surprisingly, my sleep improved tremendously. If not, ill just end up in a weird section of youtube watching things out of curiosity. Next thing you know its 2-3am and I gotta get up at 6 for work.

    If you need a snack before bed, is there one that is safest for sleep? I can’t sleep with an empty stomach and will wake up by 1-2 am starving and end up eating a full meal, eventually going back to sleep around 4 or 5 am. I have had sleep troubles for 13 years now!

    How much sleep should I be getting in each stage? I feel like I often get more core (light sleep) than REM and deep sleep, compared with some of your posts on Instagram showing roughly 30% for each main stage. What can I do to get more of the latter two sleep stages?
    5/12/2022 (sleep tracking with Apple Watch):
    Time asleep - 7h 3m
    Awake - 8%
    REM - 16%
    Core - 66%
    Deep - 10%

    Peter: you don't know the NYC version of "tiny apartment" apparently. There are apartments that don't allow a full-sized mattress! Sauna isn't well tolerated for people with POTS from LC or any other cardiac issues. Sauna is for healthy people, and a lot of people aren't that healthy. They just don't know it until they try some of these things. And Matt Walker is pretty clear on trackers not offering interpretive information. So...don't tell people that a tracker's accuracy is terrific.

    PLEASE READ THE BOOK. You'll do great I think and we would rather have a bad Peter Attia version than some random voice actor who isn't you speaking your words. Also Jimmy Hendrix thought he couldn't sing, it's really not your opinion that's important here.
    Here's a couple of questions - how critical are you of people who have read their own audiobooks (hint I never do this, I'm not there to judge the quality of them reading things, much more the content)? And how many times have you downloaded an audiobook and been disappointed some random dude who you don't know is speaking on behalf of someone else. Imagine if someone came on the podcast each week and pretended to be you speaking your words, it would be unlistenable.
    If you really don't want to do it I would suggest doing what David Goggins did with his book and review each chapter with the person reading it - you'll get to make some corrections/edits improvements and maybe give some actionable feedback the audience can take away.
    Finally I can accept if you get Hugh Jackman to read the thing, that would make it acceptable.
