How does Conan suggest improving testosterone levels through exercise?

Conan recommends regular exercise, specifically weightlifting or resistance training, focusing on heavy compound lifts like squats, bench presses, deadlifts, and overhead presses, aiming for at least three to four times a week.

What role does sleep play in maintaining healthy testosterone levels according to Conan?
