Everybody brags about “grinding” on four hours of sleep—until their brain turns into mashed potatoes. Peaches sits down with Dr. Leah Kaylor, the FBI’s resident sleep assassin, to expose every lie you’ve ever believed about “sleep aids.” From Benadryl brain fog and melatonin overdoses to why your “one beer to chill” actually nukes your REM cycle, this one’s a brutal wake-up call. Leah demolishes the “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” crowd and drops science that’ll make your caffeine addiction blush. If you’re a high performer running on fumes, this episode’s your intervention.
