Summary

How do you sleep for peak learning performance?

When it comes to sleep, trying harder isn’t likely to yield positive results. Trying wakes the brain up, where sleep is the most vulnerable thing you can do and requires a different approach.

Our guest today has been an instrumental resource in my own sleep journey, and I’m thrilled to talk to Dr. Shane Creado about perfecting your sleep mode. He’s a board-certified psychiatrist and medical doctor focusing on sleep.

Dr. Creado is also the author of the best-selling book, Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes: The Cutting-Edge Sleep Science that Will Guarantee a Competitive Advantage.

Listen in as Dr. Creado shares his insights and instructions on how to have fun with sleep and allow yourself to enjoy the time leading into sleep in a meaningful way.

If you’ve struggled with how to find your optimal sleep mode, this episode is for you.
