0:00.0	We're excited to introduce Goldmines, a brand new podcast by High Performance, hosted by Olympic
0:05.3	legend Jessica Ennis Hill. Watch or listen before anyone else on the high performance app or
0:10.6	wherever you get your podcasts.
0:13.7	What I'm seeing in the sleep industry in the field right now is just a lot of scary noise,

1:23.0	And you're about to hear us discuss whether the eight-hour rule is a myth,
