The 8-Hour Lie: What Sleep Science Actually Says About Your Bedtime

Episode Summary

Everyone knows you need eight hours of sleep — except the research, which tells a messier, more interesting story. This episode tears apart the one-size-fits-all sleep advice dominating wellness culture, exploring what chronobiology actually says about sleep timing, individual variation, and why the hour you go to bed may matter more than how long you stay there. If Zone 2 training taught us anything, it's that the popular version of a good idea is rarely the whole idea.
