Summary

The truth is that most people who have sleep problems don't really need to see a doctor about it; they just need to understand the problem, understand the challenges they're having, and understand sleep, and then be given some ways to resolve it without using medications or medical devices or surgery," says Jonathan Parker, who has worked as a dentist for over 36 years. For the past seven years, he's been collaborating with a sleep physician by the name of Mike Howell.

With their combined experience of nearly four decades and a mutual interest in reaching large numbers of people who sleep poorly but don't know why or what to do about it, Dr. Howell and Dr. Parker started the Sleep Performance Institute, which helps enable people with simple, fun, and engaging methods of resolving their sleep issues.
