Sleeping When You're Dead Is No Way To Live – MTP 518

  1. Sleeping When You're Dead Is No Way To Live - MTP 518 Scot McKay 35:06

Co-Host Josh Bronfman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dreamer) My first-time guest Joshua Bronfman is a Certified Sleep Science Coach and the founder of Dreamer. He has made getting better sleep his life’s mission. Now, it’s pretty macho to make references to sleep being weak. For example, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”. But then again, being exhausted and groggy isn’t very manly, either. And worst of all is blowing an opportunity with a great woman because you were either too cranky or not quick enough on your feet in the moment due to lack of restful sleep. Above and beyond those social aspects of sleep, going without it just flat-out isn’t healthy. So where did the “macho” attitude toward lack of sleep come from? And given that men really do need sleep, how has our Lifestyle (either consciously or unconsciously) wired us to actually lose sleep? How does our relationship with a woman suffer as a direct result of poor sleep habits? Do younger men need more or less sleep than more mature guys? How are sleep and low-T levels directly related? Why is it that we as men happily deprive ourselves of sleep, but not of any other needs in life? What exactly does sleep deprivation do to you physical attractiveness? How is circadian rhythm the linchpin to this whole conversation? Why do some dudes feel like there should be, like 30 hours in a day, because we only feel like we need to sleep 8 out of every 30, not every 24? Finally, what is “junk sleep”, and how does it affect you? Download Flip The Switch: 5 Things You Can Do Right Now To Get Better With Women at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Scot McKay Dating Strategist

Scot McKay has shared bad jokes with North Korean military officers, sipped coffee at Pablo Escobar’s home (served by his maid), survived a shark attack while surfing, held his breath as the pride of lions walked by his tent, and blitzed through California canyons with his knee on the double-yellow line at 140 mph. Yet somehow, he has also been referred to as the “sane one” on Twitter by Scott Adams, of all people.

But despite once being mobbed by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, being able to back a 30′ travel trailer into its slot on the first try, and that time he beat the World Champion at his own sport (no details provided), he’s still the most objective and down-to-earth dating expert out there.

He’s also the most fluff-free fountainhead of original content in his field, if only because that’s what seventeen years of immersive geekery on the subject does for someone.

Scot’s wife Emily is his “proof of concept”, given that she’s just as sweet as she is smokin’ hot and still gets carded at her age. But you’ll never hear her brag about any of that, only Scot.

His show The Mountain Top has also been named a Top 10 Dating Podcast by DatingAdvice.com, and a long time ago Grader.com weirdly ranked Scot the #1 most influential Facebook user in the world.
