Episode 20: The Life Changing Magic of GOING TO BED

There are 3 things you need to do to be a physically healthy person. 1) Exercise 2) Eat Well and 3) Sleep.

1. Exercise

2. Eat Well

3. Sleep

By far, the most important of the 3 is sleep. If you are able to get more sleep, you will exercise more, eat better, and overall live a better life. It’ll be a life full of better social connections, less drama, and a chill attitude. You need those 7-9 hours of sweet sweet sleepy goodness.

In this episode the humans discuss misconceptions about sleep, coping with sleep anxiety, and tips on getting better sleep such as room temperature, blue light blockers, and when to have your coffee.

Standard Humans is hosted by Aidan Dennehy and Evan.

Episode 17: Staying Healthy while Social Distancing

So you might have heard that something changed in the world recently. Whenever something big changes in your life it can be difficult to adapt, and even harder to keep your health up. When you feel as though everything is falling apart it can be tempting to stay up late and forgo sleep to try and keep things together. This is always bad advice, but it is especially bad during a Global Health Pandemic. In this episode we discuss how to maintain your Three Pillars of Health (Exercise, Food, Sleep), with specific examples of how Evan and Aidan have adapted to Social Isolation. Hint: It involves couches, Sourdough Bread, and Yoga.

Episode 13: Using Meditation to Manage Stress

Meditation has been taking the world by a very calm storm, and for good reason. Meditation can supposedly lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, decrease pain, ease symptoms of depression, and improve sleep. Some pretty great benefits from sitting in silence.

In this episode we talk about the different types of meditation, the benefits we’ve received, and how to work it into your schedule. Also, apparently it takes five months of training in France to become a meditation teacher. So that’s neat. It’s a whole tangent, listen to the episode to find out more.

Episode 2: Exercise and Decision Fatigue

Why is it that some people can’t seem to even start exercising but others aren’t able to stop themselves? What is decision fatigue and how do you overcome it? Why would anyone even want to try martial arts? In this episode of the Standard Humans Podcast these questions and more are answered.

It’s not your headphones, the audio does get pretty awful at points. Sorry about the inconvenience. There was an issue with the microphone and most of the damaged parts got cut out. We will do our best to stop this from happening again.
