If there’s one thing I have learned to respect about my health routine (in addition to eating healthy food) it’s to sleep.

There was definitely a period of time, as a young entrepreneur, that I didn’t care about sleep.

Sleep when you’re dead! Right?

Wrong.

I was stoked that my man Shawn Stevenson was in LA so he could come back on .

If you missed his first interview on the show, check it out . He drops huge wisdom on the whys and hows behind proper sleep.

So this time around, with the re-release of his , we dove into the top 10 habits that are easy to change and make a huge difference in your sleep quality.

Shawn has an incredible story of how he healed his body from a disease in his early twenties by cleaning up his diet. This got him into the health world, but once he had a successful practice going, he realized that a lot of his patients were having big issues still . . . and they had terrible sleep habits.

Fast forward a few years and Shawn has become a wealth of knowledge about the best ways to sleep and why it’s so important that we take our sleep hygiene seriously.

He even did a walk through in my bedroom after the interview to give me tips on how to improve my own sleep.
