44. Sleep Your Way to the Top with Dr. Michael Breus (The Sleep Doctor) 😓


Listen Later

ā€œNo day is so bad it can’t be fixed with a nap.ā€ — Carrie Snow

Today, we sit down with the world’s foremost authority on sleep.

Dr Michael Breus is a 3x bestselling author, clinical psychologist, and sleep educator. He has appeared all over television, including Oprah, The Today Show, and on The Dr Oz show more than 40 times. Dr Breus is also a regular contributor to major publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.

When he’s not doing media appearances, Dr Breus works with some of the most successful individuals on the planet who want to perform at their peak with as little sleep as possible.

We spend about 30% of our time asleep, which adds up to almost 3,000 hours each year on a single activity, yet when we think about peak performance, we rarely think about ā€˜sleep’ as an urgent priority to fix.

In this interview, we’ll go through:

  • A five-point plan to improve your sleep right now
  • The latest hacks in sleep science to help you perform at your best
  • How people with PTSD and depression can sleep better
  • The best way to wake up energized
  • And a whole lot more!
  • As we get started, remember the right bit of inspiration can completely transform someone’s life, so if there’s someone you know who needs to hear this – and I’m sure there is, since lack of quality sleep is a dangerous side effect of the stressful world we’re in today – share it with them right now.

    Let’s WIN THE DAY with Dr Michael Breus!
