The New Science of Sleeping, Breathing and Drinking & Where Did Dinosaurs Go?
02 Dec 2024
Have you ever heard of the word – shadenfreude. It’s when you are amused by or laugh at someone else’s failure or misfortune. We’ve all done it, and this episode begins by explaining why we do it and what it says about you. https://www.livescience.com/17398-schadenfreude-affirmation.html Why in the world would you need someone else to tell you how to sleep, breathe and hydrate yourself? You are about to find out when you listen to my discussion with Dr. Michael Breus. He is regarded as one of the top sleep experts around and he has done some extraordinary research into how making small improvements in these three simple things – sleeping, drinking and breathing – will do wonders for your health. It is simple yet powerful advice. Michael Breus is a double-boarded clinical psychologist and clinical sleep specialist and author of several books. His latest is called Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health (https://amzn.to/3ATqDCc). Here is the link to take the Chrono Quiz Michael discusses: https://sleepdoctor.com/sleep-quizzes/chronotype-quiz/ There is a real fascination with dinosaurs in our culture. These huge creatures roamed and dominated our planet and then one day – disappeared. What are dinosaurs? How big did they get? Why did they die off? What I find so amazing is that we are still discovering new species of dinosaurs millions of years later – 46 so far this year! Hear to explain and discuss this is Armin Schmitt. He is a vertebrate paleontologist and research assistant at the Department of Earth Sciences at Oxford University and author of the book The Lost World of the Dinosaurs: Uncovering the Secrets of the Prehistoric Age (https://amzn.to/40Tz3UQ). While we have made great strides in our awareness of the dangers of drunk driving, you don’t hear much “drowsy driving.” This is when people drive when they are so sleepy they fall asleep at the wheel. It happens more than you think. Listen as I explain the magnitude of the problem and what you can do. https://www.nsc.org/road/safety-topics/fatigued-driver PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Full Episode
Today on Something You Should Know, have you ever laughed at someone else's misfortune? Most likely you have, and I'll tell you why. Then, things you never knew about breathing, sleeping, and hydration.
When you wake up in the morning, sleep in and of itself is a dehydrated event. You lose almost a full liter of water just from the humidity in your breath every single night. And so when you wake up, clearly you're dehydrated.
Also, the problem of drowsy driving. And the problem is huge. And the fascinating world of dinosaurs and their fossils. There is so much we're still learning.
We find fossils today more than ever. Even this year is a very important year for fossils because we have already described 46 new species of dinosaurs only this year.
All this today on Something You Should Know. We talk a lot about health on Something You Should Know, and I guess it motivates me. I mean, I'm not a nut about it, but I try to take care of my health. I want to preserve my mobility and strength as I get older. And I recently started taking this supplement. Maybe you've heard about it. It's called MitoPure.
MitoPure is a precise dose of something called Urolithin A that supports your health by encouraging cellular renewal. Since I started taking it... I can tell I have more energy and I notice I recover faster after I exercise. I did some research on this too. There's some real science here that supports what I'm saying. And so does my experience.
MitoPure is the only urolithin A supplement on the market that is clinically proven to target the effects of age-related cellular decline. And Mito Pure is shown to deliver double-digit increases in muscle strength and endurance without a change in exercise. From my own experience, I have more energy and strength and just overall feel better every day. And who doesn't want that?
And I'm not just recommending it to you on this podcast. I tell friends and other people I know about it because of how it makes me feel. Now, Timeline is the company behind MitoPure, and Timeline is offering 10% off your order of MitoPure. Go to Timeline.com slash something. That's T-I-M-E-L-I-N-E dot com slash something.
Something you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts. And practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers.
