    This is a between-seasons bonus episode in which I share two major insights I've had in the past few months while on maternity leave. Topics include how much sleep we really need, sleep tracking, the relationship between sleep deprivation and mental health and immune system strength, as well as the impact of our homo sapien roots and being part of a community on motivation and habit change and formation.
