I eat too late . Well , the data say , you know , if you're , yeah , this , we could go down a rabbit hole with this and then someone's going to pull up some little clinical study and then another one that counters that , I mean , I think the data essentially say that having a regular meal schedule that allows you to sleep well at night , whatever that means for you . And that allows you to be active and focused when you need to be active and focused .

You go to the Seal team and you get there before anyone else is there .
