Between sleep planning and coaching the US Women's National Soccer Team in their travel to the Olympics in Tokyo this week and so much more, I was able to chat with Dr. Meeta Singh for this fascinating episode. For convenience, it will be presented in two parts. With a balance of great stories and evidence-based practices, this podcast will teach and inspire you to make sleep your superpower.
