Return on Wellness

The Neuroscience of Sleep & Performance with Dr. Bruce Wayne Meleski PhD


Listen Later

Your sleep problem isn’t in your bed — it’s in your brain.

What if the reason you can’t sleep has nothing to do with your bedtime routine — and everything to do with your nervous system?

In this episode of Return on Wellness, David T. Stevens sits down with Dr. Bruce Wayne Meleski, PhD in Human Performance, whose career spans working with NBA, NFL, and MLB athletes to pioneering neuroscience-backed solutions for sleep, resilience, and recovery.

We explore:

  • Why most insomnia advice fails (and what actually works)

  • How nervous system regulation impacts your ability to rest

  • Strategies elite performers use to recover faster and perform better

  • Why conferences and events often sabotage your sleep — and how to fix it

Whether you’re a high-performance athlete, a constantly traveling executive, or someone who’s just tired of feeling tired, this conversation will change the way you think about sleep forever.

🎧 Press play and learn how to train your nervous system for rest, recovery, and peak performance.
