Hey Shawn…great content as always!! I’ve been telling people about the importance of sleep as well….and they don’t get it! Everything you mentioned in this episode validates my argument.

Hi Shawn,
It was a pleasure meeting both you and your wife at your book signing event in LA.
I didn’t know the venue would be so intimate that everybody had a chance to talk to you in person. You were just as informative and real in person!
In the midst of launching my online Kimchi course, I finally had a chance to read your updated Sleep Smarter book this weekend. I was thrilled to find out that there are a lot more updated contents in the book than the first one you published.
I especially love chapter 7, talking about gut health and sleep. I’ll stick to my 40 Lbs a year kimchi eating to have all that good probiotics to sleep smart =)
Congratulations again on the updated “Sleep Smarter”.
Cheers,
Your virtual student Sun aka Hungry Gopher
Will there be an audio book version of sleep smarter?
