Sleep is number one. And as an entrepreneur who started a big company while working for another big company, I intentionally restricted my sleep to under five hours a night for two years. And it was a conscious choice. It's probably not good for you. It's probably not good for aging. Can you do it with biohacking? Yeah. When people start doing the things that I teach, they usually need an hour less sleep. And you could say, well, that's bad, because don't we all need eight hours of sleep? That is not what the evidence shows. There are now three studies of more than a million people for multiple years. The people who live the longest sleep six and a half hours a night, not because they're restricting their sleep, it's because healthy people need less sleep.
