But a in general, it's like what Maria says. You know, too little is not good, and too much is not good either. And I think the too little usually in the literature is the cutoff point of about 6 hours. So definately don't sleep less than six. Hours. Yeah, I'd like to add on the too much sleep point that both Marie and Meredith made. I don't think there is a biologocal basis for too much sleep to be causing harm. I think that what we see in observational studies that consistently show that over 9 hours per day of sleep is associated with increased mortality cardiovascular mortality risk is for methodological reasons. There is something there is under and under underlying factor there that we don't capture this kind of studies don't capture properly and my suspicion, my guess is that it has to do with mental health oversleeping. Perhaps there is no as far as I know, there is no biological mechanism to suggest that too much sleeping can be causing harm to our health, and in any case, in our society, the problem is too little sleep. So, I don't think it's worth going too much. Sleep as public health problem.

Printed "fancied", the speaker says "good"

Explanation: Listen for "too little is not good". Fancied starts with a different letter and ends differently, so trust the audio.

Printed "really", the speaker says "definately"

Explanation: You will hear "So definately don't sleep". The printed word "really" starts with a different letter, and the spoken word is much longer.

Printed "focused", the speaker says "biologocal"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "there is a biologocal basis". The printed word "focused" starts with a different letter and ends differently.

Printed "constantly", the speaker says "consistently"

Explanation: Listen again to "studies that consistently show". Both words start with the same letter and end the same way, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "satisfying", the speaker says "underlying"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "underlying factor there". Satisfying begins with a different letter, while both end the same way.

Printed "major", the speaker says "mental"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "it has to do with mental". Major shares the first letter, but the endings and meaning differ.

Printed "contending", the speaker says "going"

Explanation: The speaker says "going too much", not "contending". Contending looks longer and ends the same, but the audio uses a short word.

"Maria" matches the audio

Explanation: "what Maria says" has a common name that may look like a trick. The speaker actually says Maria, so do not click it.

"Meredith" matches the audio

Explanation: "both Marie and Meredith made" shows two similar names that might confuse you. Meredith is spoken exactly, so do not click it.
