Summary

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. Dr. Breus lectures all over the world for organizations such as YPO (Young Presidents Organization), AT&T, on stage for Tony Robbins, hospitals, and medical centers, financial organizations, product companies, and many more. For over 14 years, Dr. Breus served as the Sleep Expert for WebMD. Dr. Breus also writes The Insomnia Blog and can be found regularly on Psychology Today, and Sharecare. Dr. Breus has been interviewed on CNN, Oprah, The View, Anderson Cooper, Rachel Ray, Fox and Friends, The Doctors, Joy Behar, The CBS Early Show, The Today Show, and Kelly and Michael.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Man Talk Show. I am Connor Beaton, and joining me today is Dr. Michael J.
0:16.0	Brias, he's a PhD, and a clinical psychologist and both a diplomat of the American Board of Sleep Medicine
0:23.2	and a fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
0:26.8	He is one of only 168 psychologists in the world to have passed the sleep medical specialty board without going to medical school.
0:36.1	He was recently named the top sleep specialist
0:39.5	in California by Reyes Digest and one of the 10 most influential people in sleep. So we obviously
0:46.9	are going to talk a little bit about sleep, but we actually talk about so much more than that.
0:50.4	His latest book, Energize, Go From Dragging Ass to Kicking It in 30 Days with his co-founder of Soul Cycle, Stacey Griffith.
0:58.0	It's something that we talk about in this episode.
1:01.9	And so let me tell you a little bit about what we talk about, because I could go on and on and on about Dr. Breas' his resume.
1:08.2	He's appeared on Oprah and Anderson Cooper and CNN and and and and and.

1:38.6	bodies. So in this episode, we talked quite a bit about different body types.

1:52.9	adapt a more efficient and effective habit or schedule or routine during the day to fit our bodies, to maximize the
2:04.9	energy that we're getting during the day, and to find a more aligned sleeping habit and sleeping
2:13.1	structure. One of the biggest things that I have noticed within myself is that I've kind of always
2:18.7	struggled with sleep a little bit. I've been like a light sleeper here and there. And, you know,
2:23.1	with the birth of my son, my sleep pattern was just completely destroyed. And it's starting to find
2:28.2	its groove now. But it's interesting to hear some of the advice because Dr. Breas, thankfully, is very practical, very
