  1. The listed podcasts were identified using a structured but non-exhaustive search of the podcast search engine Listen Notes. Searches were conducted using the terms “sleep science” and “circadian science,” excluding podcasts with fewer than five episodes. For “sleep science,” only the top 20 search results were reviewed, and podcasts primarily designed as sleep aids were excluded.
