Fiona here from The XYZ Experiment.

Throughout June we're diving back into our archives and revisiting some of our favourite episodes.

My pick this week is Episode 107: Why Sleep Is the Most Important Thing You'll Do All Day.

What if one of the most powerful tools for better health, clearer thinking, improved mood and a longer life was something you're probably not getting enough of?

The answer is sleep.

In this fascinating conversation, we sit down with Professor Shantha Rajaratnam, one of Australia's leading sleep experts. We explore the science behind why we sleep, what happens when we don't, and how modern life is disrupting our natural rhythms.

If you've ever struggled with sleep or wondered how to improve it, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based tips that could change the way you think about your nights—and your days.

Enjoy the episode.
