Transcript

I learned the hard way

the value of sleep.

Two-and-a-half years ago,

I fainted from exhaustion.

I hit my head on my desk.

I broke my cheekbone,

I got five stitches on my right eye.

And I began the journey

of rediscovering the value of sleep.

And in the course of that,

I studied, I met with medical doctors, scientists.

And I'm here to tell you

that the way to a more productive,

more inspired,

more joyful life

is getting enough sleep.
