A short YouTube clip by Robert Whitfield MD giving practical advice for improving a woman's daily performance by keeping protein intake high and optimizing sleep/circadian timing. He argues that maintaining high protein helps afternoons become productive rather than nap-prone, and that getting multiple sleep cycles including ~1.5–2.5 hours of deep sleep allows proper hormone release and more efficient functioning.

And then her circadian rhythm is going to be better because she's going to be up till she's ready to go to bed, and then she's going to go to bed and wake up having had, you know, multiple cycles of, of sleep and gotten into deep sleep, which is important for about an hour and a half to two and a half hours. If you can do that, then everything is going to work more efficiently because your hormones get released properly, everything's going to work.
