Could sleep consistency, not duration, be the hidden key to elite performance? In this conversation with WHOOP's Global Head of Performance & Science, Kristen Holmes, we uncover revolutionary findings that are reshaping our understanding of sleep science. Together, we dive deep into data from over 35,000 individuals that challenges conventional wisdom about what makes sleep truly restorative. This isn't just another conversation about sleep - it's a masterclass in human performance optimization that could change your life. Watch now and discover why some of the world's top performers are abandoning traditional sleep advice in favor of this revolutionary approach.
