We sleep for several hours, wear smartwatches that track every minute of our sleep, try supplements, follow sleep routines, and yet many of us wake up more tired than ever.

In this episode, together with pulmonologist Andreas Zachariadis, we discuss why sleep has become yet another self-improvement project. We talk about the importance of sleep quality, the most popular trends like magnesium and melatonin, the reliability of smartwatches, and the “5AM Club” culture that links success to waking up earlier and earlier.

Ultimately, do we really need to sleep less to achieve more? Or is a good night’s sleep the best investment in our health and performance?
