I should add [*Why We Sleep*](https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Sleep-Unlocking-Dreams/dp/1501144324/?ref=andys.blog) to my list of [influences](https://andytrattner.com/influences?ref=andys.blog).

At a friend's gathering on Monday, I left early just before dinner was served. I went to a hotel and slept for 10-11 hours. Because I only had 4-6 hours for the previous few nights, this was a magical decision. I felt great the next morning.

Earlier this year, I would not have made the same tradeoff against socializing. But now that I have a mission, being well rested and focusing on my work is a joy. Strangers usually lack context and are not particularly additive.

Bryan Johnson personally came to tell us at the All-in Summit how sleep is his [number one recommendation](https://youtu.be/XXPISZI%5Fbig?si=A8gw5wBpQ1YTuAsZ&ref=andys.blog).
