Episode notes

Sleep now comes with a score, a protocol, and several things taped to your face. This week, The Maintenance Report examines sleepmaxxing, the anxiety it created, the jawline promises behind mouth tape, and the increasingly elaborate ritual of the morning shed. Self-maintenance is one thing. Restructuring yourself like a troubled company is another.
