The Science Of Sleep

Sleep. It takes up about a third of your life—or at least it should if you want to stay healthy. After having a child, both I and my wife's sleep patterns were obviously pretty hard hit, and so began a search for some straightforward, actionable advice on how to restore healthy sleep. Dr. Breus is an almost limitless source of exactly that, so if you're having trouble, have a listen. We dig into sleep, maintaining energy levels, different body types, developing habits and routines that work with our bodies instead of against them, and how it all works together.

Michael J. Breus, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist and both a Diplomat of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and a Fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. He is one of only 168 psychologists in the world to have passed the Sleep Medical Speciality board without going to Medical School. Michael was recently named the Top Sleep Specialist in California by Reader’s Digest, and one of the 10 most influential people in sleep science.

His latest book is Energize! Go from Dragging Ass to Kicking It in 30 Days, which he co-authored with the founder of SoulCycle, Stacey Griffith.

Dr. Breus has also authored of The Power of When, a bestseller on Amazon for Time Management and Happiness, a bio-hacking guide book based on your genetic biological chronotype, The Sleep Doctor’s Diet Plan: Lose Weight Through Better Sleep, on the science and relationship between quality sleep and metabolism, and GOOD NIGHT: The Sleep Doctor’s 4-Week Program to Better Sleep and Better Health is a do-it-yourself guide to better sleep.

Dr. Breus has supplied his expertise with both consulting and as a sleep educator/spokesperson to brands such as Hastens Beds, Ebb Therapeutics, Princess Cruise lines, Six Senses Hotel and Spa, Lighting Science Group, Advil PM, Breathe Rite, Crowne Plaza Hotels, Dong Energy, Merck, iHome, and many more.
