We've long said on the Impossible Life that we wanted to have a sleep expert on and...TODAY'S THE DAY! We cover all things in a wide ranging conversation with sleep expert Dr Michael Grandner. Dr Grandner works with Fitbit, the MLB, the IOC, and USA Olympics to name a few and is as knowledgeable as they come.
