Transcript

I want to, like, talk kind of shift gears for a minute and talk about, you know, like I didn't get a good sleep, I don't know, for a couple nights in a row. And I, you know, have deadlines and things to work on. And was feeling very a motivated, as you like to say. And so I was, you know, of course, deep in some of your stuff, and came across this non sleep, deep rest. And I had never heard of it. I mean, I'm sure it's, you know, become popular since you've talked about it. But I would love for you to talk about the non sleep, deep rest, nsdr, and you know, so sleep is important for replenishing dopamine, and I didn't, I didn't get that replenishment of dopamine. And so some tools that people can do. Again, we're talking about behavioral tools that we've just mentioned a few.
