From Andy: Ian is on a mission - to help people figure out why they might be having trouble sleeping, and then to help them figure out what the heck to do about it. His approach is far-reaching and holistic, as there really isn't any part of life that is not capable of contributing to poor sleep hygiene. Our conversation was broad including topics like email, social media, apps, and fitness trackers, to your schedule, travel, sleep apnea, Netflix, and caffeine. If you don't come away from this podcast with at least one fresh new idea about something that you could do to improve your sleep, you weren't listening hard enough. Enjoy!
