See Jake’s Top 3 TakeawaysIn a muay thai kickboxing class in April 2012, during my junior year of high school, I felt shooting pains in my stomach and head. My instructor thought I was dehydrated and suggested I go home, but I collapsed in the parking lot before I could get into my car.

Yet the reliance on such data has raised a question among scientists: Are we sabotaging our sleep in our quest to improve it? There’s a name for the obsessive pursuit of optimal sleep — orthosomnia.
