o       Story about needing more sleep. In the morning you’ve got to wake up, before lunch it’s too early to sleep, after lunch you’ve got shit to do, after your shit is too

late for a nap, and going to bed is the sorry admittance of a lack of energy.

o       Do gym bros spend so much time in the gym to avoid their body’s

biggest muscle?

· Maybe working out puts physical and metaphorical strain on the

heart
