Tools and Tips for Better Sleep

[image error]


In this episode of the podcast, I focus on a topic that has been a lifelong personal struggle: sleep.


I’ve found that if you prioritize sleep — and recovery, in general — it magnifies everything else in your life, from your emotional health to physical training. To help you take better care of your mind and body, I’ve gathered some of the best advice from multiple guests about rest and regeneration.


This episode includes tips and recommendations from:



Strength coach Charles Poliquin
Obstacle course racer Amelia Boone
Comedian Mike Birbiglia
Dr. Peter Attia

Enjoy!

This podcast is brought to you by Soothe.com, the world’s largest on-demand massage service. Because I’ve been broken so many times, I have body work done at least twice a week — so I have a high bar for this stuff. I do not accept mediocrity, and I wouldn’t expect you to, either.


After much personal testing, I can affirm that Soothe delivers a hand-selected, licensed, and experienced massage therapist to you in the comfort of your own home, hotel, or office in as little as an hour. I was amazed at the quality of service and convenience. Think of it as Uber for massages, available in fifty†cities worldwide. Download the app at Soothe.com, and use code TIM to get $20 off each of your first two massages.


This podcast is also brought to you by MVMT. The founders are two college dropouts who wanted to wear fancy watches, but couldn’t afford them — so they decided to scratch their own itch and build a company around high-quality but affordable watches in 2013. They’ve gone from startup to more than one million watches sold across 160 countries in just a few years — an awesome success story that makes sense when you check out the product.


MVMT offers classic designs, quality construction, and many different modern styles, so you can pick one that suits you. Get 15 percent off your entire purchase with free shipping (and free returns if you’re dissatisfied for any reason) by visiting MVMTwatches.com/tim!
