In this brutally honest and surprisingly soothing episode, Peaches teams up with Dr. Leah Kaylor—THE sleep czar of the FBI (no, seriously)—to talk about the one thing that could make you a better operator, athlete, student, or just a more tolerable human: sleep.

Dr. Kaylor isn’t here to fluff your pillow. She's here to fix your broken circadian rhythm, crush your excuses, and maybe ruin your pre-workout addiction. From early morning sun hacks to why your phone is wrecking your melatonin, this episode is a no-BS masterclass in reclaiming your performance through better sleep hygiene. And no, power naps are not your savior.

Whether you're a sleep-deprived teen thinking about BUD/S or a 30-something warfighter trying to pretend that 5 hours and a ghost of REM is “fine”—this episode is your wake-up call (literally).

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • The 3 S’s of what your bed is actually for: sleep, sex, and sickness.
  • If you fall asleep instantly, congrats—you’re severely sleep-deprived.
  • Pre-workout at 9PM? You’re not hard. You’re hormonal.
  • Caffeine has a half-life. Stop drinking it like it’s tactical hydration.
  • Naps = snacks. Don’t ruin your Thanksgiving dinner.
  • Blue light at night tells your brain it’s noon—nice job, dopamine addict.
  • Fix your morning routine and your body will stop waking up at 3AM like it’s haunted.
