Speaker B emphasizes that sleep provides a wealth of physiological signals that reveal how the body is recovering and functioning.

Sleep being kind of one of the foundation pillars of our health. I think our body tells us a lot of how it's recovering, how it's doing overall when we're asleep. And if you are able to pick up those signals, it's just a treasure trove of information on how your body actually is, is, is doing.

And I think, um, as someone who's very guilty of neglecting my sleep for so many years of my life until I realized that it's so important, Having those, you know, amount of time in bed where the body can really cleanse and clean itself, the brain can rejuvenate, et cetera. And the whole I can sleep when I'm dead philosophy in my twenties was really a bad idea, but I'm trying to make up for it now these days.
