on Sleep. Well, I'm excited about our guest. I want to go ahead and introduce her. Lisa L. Lewis is a journalist who's focused on parenting, education, and public health. She's the author of an incredible book. I absolutely love this one. It's called The Sleep Deprived Teen. Why Our teenagers are so tired and how parents in schools can help them thrive. Her book was actually born out

of her role in helping get California's landmark law on healthy school start times past.

She's also a parent of two and currently lives in California with her family. Lisa, welcome.

Thank you so much for having me. It's great to be here. And we've got two Lisa. So for everyone to be able to

keep track at home, we've got our Dr. Lisa, who's on every week, and we've got you, Lisa, too,

so we can kind of keep track of everyone here. Rina, you know this makes you the cult jam.

The what? The cult jam. Lisa, Lisa, and the cult jam. Oh, this may be the time. That's a cultural reference I'm not following. Okay, we just fell into the

gen X reference. Exactly. You have to be, I'm 53. You have to be, okay, Rina, go look it up after

this episode. That's where our nine years don't line up at all. Lisa Lisa Lisa in the cult jam was a

fabulous band. I think they might have been a one-hit wonder, but isn't that... Oh, my goodness. They had an entire album.

Oh, there we go. All right. I'm going to look this up. Are they on Spotify, I hope?

I'm sure they are. I'm sure they are. Anyway, Lisa, we are so excited to have you here. Thank you for

joining us. And like I said, sleep. I value it so much. I talk about it so much. I know it's the glue

that holds everybody together. And I will say, I feel like it's one of those places where

families and kids feel like they can compromise, where it gets crowded out by other things.
