Episode Details

Rob makes it to 6 a.m. hot yoga. His consciousness arrives separately.

After taking melatonin the night before, an already sleep-deprived Rob Raffety battles the snooze button, drifts toward sleep mid-pose, and attempts to explain a mermaid stretch with a brain operating on emergency power.

Also entering the picture: a birthday health-tracking ring, because apparently his wellness situation needs another witness.

Episode 271 of Raff’s Brain is a groggy, funny reflection on ambition, bedtime discipline, and trying to make decisions your future self will appreciate. Today’s future self would appreciate a nap.

On the agenda:
• The sleep bill for weeks of creative output
• The bedroom debate over showing up
• Zombie yoga and mermaid-pose confusion
• A new ring and hopes for useful health insights
• “Future you thanks you”—a motto meets a very tired man
