I am excited to share AMA number eight with all our listeners today, where we dive deep into listener questions concerning sleep and HRV.

We discuss supplements for better sleep, explore sleep hygiene and metrics for REM and deep sleep, examine melatonin and glycine, touch on heart rate variability, and review various gadgets beyond the Aura that can enhance sleep quality.
Join me for a comprehensive exploration of HRV and the benefits of better sleep.
