In this episode, Matt Walker discusses the impact of alcohol and caffeine on sleep. He explains that alcohol is a harmful sleep aid, and that it can have negative impacts on sleep quality.

Alcohol may make you feel sleepy, but it actually harms your sleep in three ways. First, it is a sedative, which means it switches off brain cell firing, instead of promoting the natural sleep process. Second, it fragments your sleep, causing you to have more brief awakenings throughout the night. Third, it decreases the overall quality of your sleep.

Alcohol consumption leads to sleep fragmentation and less REM sleep, which can have negative consequences on brain and body function. Some people may not be aware of these effects of alcohol.

Alcohol can disrupt your sleep in three different ways, and one of those ways can cause you to have very intense and vivid dreams the morning after you drink. This is because your brain is trying to make up for the REM sleep it lost during the night.

Caffeine has a hidden consequence of affecting sleep by staying in the system for up to 12 hours. This means that if you have coffee at 2pm, caffeine will still be in your system at midnight. Different people can be more or less vulnerable to the effects of caffeine.

Coffee can make it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep due to its stimulant properties. Caffeine can also cause anxiety and sleep fragmentation. Some people are more sensitive to these effects than others.

Different people have different sensitivities to caffeine due to their genetics. There are several genetic testing kits available that can help you determine your level of sensitivity.

Atul Gawande is a surgeon, Harvard professor, and New Yorker writer who has written extensively on topics such as error, checklists, and coaching. In January 2022, he started a new job as Assistant Administrator of USAIDs Bureau for Global Health. In this interview, he discusses his career journey and how he balances his many roles.

Atul Gawande says that the best advice he ever received was to say "yes" to everything when he was younger, and to start saying "no" after he turned 40. He says that when you're young, you don't know what will energize you or what you'll be good at, so it's important to try everything. He also says that by the time he finished college, he had a lot of experience in different fields that he was able to put together to become a writer.

Atul Gawande was advised to say "yes" to everything until he turned 40 in order to discover his passions and hone his skills. He found his life's purpose in public health interventions, and he argues that everyone should have access to the benefits of science and technology. However, he also recognizes the potential for burnout, and advises finding a balance between what energizes and what exhausts you.

Adam Grant interviews Atul Gawande about his career and the advice he has received. Gawande discusses how he has combined different fields in his work and how this has been successful for him. He also talks about his experience of being coached as a leader.

The top players in the world all have coaches, but this is not the case in other professions. Music is interesting because in some cases, like with singers, coaches are used, but in others, like with violinists, they are not. Itzhak Perlman, the greatest violinist of his generation, always had a coach, even though it is not common in the violin world. Coaching is different from teaching in that it involves an external view of your own reality and setting goals for where you want to improve. A surgeon named Bob Ostein was brought in as a coach to the operating room and he died a couple weeks ago.

Adam Grant talks to Atul Gawande about his experience with executive coaching. Gawande says that it has been helpful in keeping him from moving too fast and not communicating enough. He also talks about the importance of taking feedback seriously.

This passage discusses the importance of feedback in organizational culture, and how it can help leaders to improve their behavior. Adam Grant talks about how feedback can help leaders to understand their impact on others, and Atul Gawande talks about how feedback can help to change the culture of an organization.

Atul Gawande discusses the importance of addressing behaviors that can cost lives, and explains how his institution reviews deaths and major complications on a regular basis to identify patterns. He emphasizes the need to take risks and tolerate failures in public health work, and highlights the importance of eliminating worst behaviors in order to improve outcomes.

The Drama Triangle is a way of understanding how human beings can get caught in victimhood and reactivity. It was first proposed by Stephen Karpman in the 1970s. The three roles in the Drama Triangle are the victim, the villain, and the rescuer. The victim is someone who feels powerless and at the mercy of others. The villain is someone who blames others for their problems. The rescuer is someone who tries to fix other people's problems.

The Drama Triangle is a model of human behavior that suggests we all play certain roles in relationships - the victim, the persecutor, and the hero. The hero's job is to seek temporary relief from the difficulties of life, but this can create co-dependence and resentment over time. It's better to teach people how to fish for themselves so they can be empowered and independent.

The author describes the Drama Triangle, a model for interpersonal conflict in which one person takes on the role of the villain, another the victim, and the third the rescuer. He notes that while taking responsibility for one's own role in a conflict is important, it is also important to recognize that everyone has a part to play.

Diana Chapman explains the concept of body intelligence, or BQ, which is the ability to be aware of and respond to one's bodily sensations. She argues that this form of intelligence is just as important as IQ or EQ, and that by paying attention to our bodies, we can gain valuable guidance and clarity in our lives.

The whole-body yes is a way of understanding and using your body's natural response to things in order to make decisions. It is based on the idea that your body knows instinctively whether something is a good idea or not, even if your mind is not entirely sure. This method can be used for big decisions like which direction to go in life, or more everyday choices like whether to take a phone call from a salesperson.

The author describes a time when they were on a sales call and quickly hung up. They explain that in that moment, they skipped over their "no" because their intellect was worried that they might be missing something. The author says that they use this experience to remind themselves to pay attention to the intelligences that are outside of just their intellect. They encourage the reader to do the same exercise, by imagining an experience from the past that was deeply valuable to them. As they imagine the scene, they should pay attention to how their body is vibrating and what sensations they are feeling. This will help them to map out what a whole-body "yes" feels like.

The author describes how to identify a "no" by paying attention to how your body feels. A "no" should be a clear, strong feeling, while a "subtle no" is more of an ambiguous feeling. To practice identifying these feelings, the author recommends thinking back to a recent event in your life where you felt an "eh" and trying to remember the details of that event.

In this excerpt, Rich Roll and David Goggins discuss the importance of having the right mindset when it comes to achieving goals. Goggins talks about how he uses the "subtle no" in order to stay focused on what is important to him, and how this has helped him achieve success both in his career as a Navy SEAL and as an endurance athlete.

In this clip, David Goggins discusses his approach to overcoming obstacles and achieving his goals. He explains that he doesn't wait to take action on his goals, but instead acts immediately and with determination. This has allowed him to accomplish many impressive feats, including running 203.5 miles in 48 hours and finishing high at dozens of 100-mile races.

David Goggins is an ultra-marathoner and former Navy SEAL who attributes his success to hard work and determination, not talent. He believes that anyone can achieve their goals if they are willing to put in the work, and that excuses are simply a sign that someone doesn't really want it bad enough.

David Goggins is a disabled Navy SEAL who has overcome tremendous odds to become an elite athlete. He credits his success to his strong will and determination, and believes that anyone can achieve their goals if they set their mind to it.

David Goggins talks about the importance of being honest with oneself in order to improve. He shave his head and face when he was 16 years old as a way to force himself to look in the mirror and confront his shortcomings. He calls this the "accountability mirror" and believes that it is key in becoming great.

David Goggins is a retired Navy SEAL and ultra-marathon runner. He is also the author of the book "Can't Hurt Me." In this book, he talks about his journey from being an overweight, insecure kid to becoming one of the toughest people in the world. He attributes his success to his ability to face his fears and weaknesses head-on, and to never give up.

David Goggins believes that people need to find their "real truth" and follow their true journey in order to live a fulfilling life. He challenges people to look within themselves and be willing to go down a difficult path, saying that the rewards at the end are worth it.
