171 | Why Sleep Is the #1 Performance Hack for Linemen & First Responders | James Geering
About this episode
In this episode of Powerline Podcast, I sit down with former firefighter, Behind The Shield podcast host, stuntman, and two time author, James Geering, to talk about one of the most overlooked aspects of health: sleep.
We dive into why sleep is critical for linemen, firefighters, and other high-stress professions, how chronic sleep deprivation affects decision-making, reaction times, and long-term health, and what practical steps you can take to improve your sleep—even with unpredictable schedules.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, foggy, or just “off” at work, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
