Why are we getting worse at sleeping, not better?

In this podcast episode, we dive into our contemporary obsession with sleep and its ironic effect on our sleep quality. Despite the booming multi-billion dollar industry focused on sleep tracking and aids, research indicates that these tools can often create anxiety and distort our understanding of how well we sleep. The episode compares our current sleep habits to those of hunter-gatherer tribes, revealing how our disconnection from natural light cycles and rigid schedules negatively impacts our rest. Ultimately, the podcast suggests that alleviating sleep-related anxiety and embracing natural light are far more effective approaches than depending on gadgets and apps.
