In a culture that praises work and getting the most out of the day,
sleeping tends to be under-rated and, often, looked down upon. Seeing as we
spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping, it’s about time we start treating sleep as
an intentional practice rather than hitting the pause button on life.
Arthur Haines is back on the show to share some fascinating scientific
research on the sleeping habits of wild, indigenous peoples. The research
results are in: quality sleep can have tremendously positive effects on
your health and well-being. I hope Arthur’s grounded perspective inspires
you to put focus and energy towards your personal sleep practice!
