Not getting enough sleep can increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, asthma, and kidney disease. In many parts of the United States, 40% of the population is not getting enough sleep. In this program, Burt talks to Professor Matthew Walker, one of the world's leading experts on sleep. Professor Walker explains the good things that happen to your brain and body when you get a proper amount of sleep, and what you can do to improve your sleep.

I currently have a Fitbit Luxe, it cost me 100 bucks....

the stats are interesting, indicates what time your sleep started, when it ended, and the stats for the actual sleep stages: Awake, REM, Light & Deep

for example, my stats for today :

07:22 - 13:16 (went to sleep at 7:22AM, woke up at 1:16PM) ---->

40 mins AWAKE (11%)
1HR 4mins REM (18%)
3HR 20mins LIGHT SLEEP (57%)
50 mins DEEP SLEEP (14%)
