and you completely lose your train of thought. The presentation
goes poorly, leaving you feeling defeated and stressed. Sound familiar.

sabotages our performance, throws off our emotions, and leaves us
(04:24):
feeling drained and overwhelmed. But here's the good news. Getting
enough sleep can completely change the game. Imagine heading into
that same presentation feeling refreshed, energized, and confident. Your mind
is sharp, your words flow effortlessly, and you rock the meeting.
