#113: Todd Anderson: Your Sleep Problem Isn’t Sleep


Listen Later

In this episode, we break down why most people don’t have a sleep problem at all…

They have a stress problem, a purpose problem, or a life-awareness problem.

Todd Anderson is one of the sharpest voices in the world of sleep, human psychology, and high performance.

He’s worked with elite athletes, Fortune 500 teams, and high performers who want to feel better, think clearer, and stop sabotaging themselves.


Key Discussion Points:

  • Why most sleep problems are actually stress and life-awareness problems
  • The fear of losing momentum and the psychological cost of high performance
  • Presence, flow state, and how elite performers access their best self
  • Childhood patterns, identity, and the hidden roots of adult stress
  • How to fix your relationship with sleep without becoming obsessive or rigid
