Ep. 010 | Sleep. Do you even?

This week on Priority Traffic Podcast, your hosts, Chris and Ben, discuss the basics of sleep from their experience and understanding.

They touch on some low-level science of sleep, reminding the audience that they are not the experts but merely know the importance of sleep and the challenges of sleeping and being a firefighter.
