Entrepreneurs have a lot on their plates. Unfortunately, ideas, worries, excitement, and whatever else is on our minds can carry over to our evenings and nights, sometimes keeping us up at night or causing restlessness. Even though mulling these thoughts over can sometimes result in breakthroughs, not getting proper sleep can take its toll and prevent us from being and doing our best. If you struggle with sleep or want to perform better, you will love today's conversation with Dr. Anne Bartolucci.

Dr. Anne Bartolucci is a licensed clinical psychologist and board-certified behavioral sleep medicine specialist. She is President and CEO of Atlanta Insomnia and Behavioral Health Services. She is also the author of Better Sleep for the Overachiever, which is about easing ambitious minds into a healthy, productive sleep pattern. Her goal is to help all of us achieve our waking dreams through better sleep.

Less sleep can make us less productive. Being conscientious can also create an environment where we get less sleep. We talk about hyperarousal or that feeling that won't let us fall asleep at the end of the day. Self-employed people often have so much going on that it's hard to shut off when bedtime rolls around. We dive into how to prevent these issues by making your daytime more productive to make your night more productive. We talk about stress, cortisol, nighttime routines and even go into details about screens and which ones affect our sleep.
