For instance, think you are just someone who operates at optimum capacity with less than four hours sleep a night? It could be. He challenges a lot of assumptions and long-held beliefs with evidence. The findings he reports are amazing and humbling all at the same time. He walks you through the science of sleep, why it is so important, what happens when you sleep, and what happens when you don’t. These are all health challenges firefighters struggle with, making it even more important for fire service personnel to prioritize getting enough sleep.įor a scientist, Walker’s actually pretty funny – or as funny as a scientist can be.

Guitarist Tom Morello’s solo is also notable as he simply uses feedback from the amp, along with using his whammy bar to adjust the pitch of the feedback. The song’s main riff is similar to Nirvana’s 1991 song, “Breed” although Sleep Now In The Fire is one and a half pitch higher. The guitar riff is a reworking of The Stooges TV Eye, from 1970s Fun House. ![]() slavery in the 19th century as well as criticism of actions taken by the US government in wartime, including the bombing of Hiroshima and the use of Agent Orange in the Vietnam War.
