Have you ever wondered how a wildlife photographer lives and sleeps in the remote wilderness, always ready to capture an elusive animal, Or maybe you've always been curious how astronauts sleep when they're constantly floating around at zero gravity. No matter what your line of work is or where you live around the world or universe, sometimes we forget how

much we need to sleep well to live well. Sleep is the key to essential functions of both the mind and body, and by learning the universal secrets to sleeping well, we can all find ways to sleep better to perform our best at whatever we do. Hi. I'm an Ahad O'Connor, a health columnist, and I'm hosting the new podcast Chasing Sleep,

a collaboration from iHeartRadio and Mattress Firm. Join me every week as we connect with people who live and work around the world, from professional gamers to the citizens of countries who experience twenty four hours of daylight or nighttime. Together, we'll learn how they prioritize sleep and wake up refreshed, restored, and ready to take on the day or night. I'll also talk to sleep experts and take a closer look at the ways we can all learn about the power

of sleep. Starting September thirtieth, catch new episodes every week and learn how we can all unjunk our sleep to live extraordinary and well rested lives. Listen to Chasing Sleep on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
