Sleep: The Missing Piece of High Performance


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Robyne dives into one of the most crucial foundations of our well-being, performance, and long-term success: sleep. While hustle culture glorifies 5 a.m. wake-ups and sleepless nights, research tells a different story—one where most adults need eight hours of quality sleep to truly operate at their best. 

She explores the science behind the powerful processes that unfold while we sleep and how a lack of sleep can quietly impact our health, productivity, and decision-making. You’ll also hear practical tips for recharging with naps—like the quick “power nap” or the deeply restorative “heart nap”—along with strategies for building healthy wake-up routines and insights into how your cell phone might be getting in the way of a good night’s sleep. 

If you’ve been sacrificing sleep in the name of productivity, feel like you’re running on empty, or want science-backed strategies to dial in your sleep habits, this episode is for you.
