How To Turn Sleep Into a Performance Advantage | Professor Russell Foster


Listen Later

Professor Russell Foster is one of the world’s leading experts on sleep and circadian health. 

He explains how modern lifestyles have disrupted our natural body clocks and why many of us aren’t getting the quality sleep we need to perform at our best. More importantly he goes through ways  to get back into the rhythm. 


As Professor of Circadian Neuroscience at Oxford University, Russell says it’s vital we understand the importance of sleep in how our minds and bodies function to unlock its benefits. Expect to learn why light plays such a crucial role, what to do if you wake up in the night, why it’s not all about getting eight hours, why bad sleepers have a negative world view, and why dreaming helps us solve complex problems.


You can take the anxiety out of sleep by taking back control. Get it right and it can become the most effective performance enhancer we have.
