#483 Matteo Franceschetti on Improving Your Sleep

Sleep is not something passive that you have to do and is a waste of your time. Sleep is like going to the gym—it's something you need to do to be healthy and to be fit.

Try to go to bed at the same time. More than anything, wake up at the same time every day, even on Saturday and Sunday, because if you just sleep in, you're just jet lagging your body, and then on Monday you will struggle again to wake up ... Train your body to wake up every single day at that time. It doesn't matter what the time is; it just needs to be always the same.

To me, it's unacceptable that millions of people are still sleeping on a piece of dumb foam that has been the same for 2,000 years.

Carbs will help you fall asleep faster, but the quality of sleep you get will be lower.
