So good
I wanna try chocolate milk with tea
LOVE IT - did Karl do a micro sleep ad back in the day?
Hey guys,
Amazing podcast, anything Dr Karl I will listen to religiously. I have a faint childhood memory of Dr Karl doing a TV advert on micro sleeps. Would love to know:
- what exactly is a micro sleep and why do they occur (why do you wake immediately)?
Thank you!!
