#166 D’Angelo, Black Men’s Health & Team No Sleep

In this episode of Conscious Take...

Neo-soul legend D’Angelo has passed away at 51 after a battle with cancer. His music touched generations—but his death is more than a cultural loss. It’s a wake-up call: too many Black men are dying from preventable illnesses like heart disease, stroke, and cancer.

In this episode, we explore:

Why life expectancy for Black men is just 67.6 years (CDC, 2021)
How social support lowers heart disease risk and mortality (Jackson Heart Study, 2023)
The critical role women play in encouraging men to seek care (MD Edge, 2018)
The impact of consistent sleep on longevity and overall health (Sleep, 2023)

Key Takeaways:

Health is sacred, not optional.
Love and connection save lives.

Small, consistent actions like regular sleep and check-ups matter.

Awareness is the first step toward change.

Sleep Spotlight: Team No Sleep, listen up: inconsistent sleep could be cutting your life short. Going to bed and waking up at the same time daily can reduce:

20–48% risk of all-cause mortality
16–39% risk of cancer death
22–57% risk of cardiometabolic death

Even if life gets busy, prioritizing regular sleep is a simple, powerful step toward longevity, energy, and well-being.
