🌟 Helping you achieve peak performance through optimal sleep
👇 Learn more

My research focuses on the effects of sleep on performance in elite athletes. In particular, I'm interested in the impact of sleep on cognitive and physical performance across various sports. My research interests include the impact of circadian rhythms and sleep patterns on sports performance. I also work with elite athletes and collegiate and professional sports teams (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB) to improve sleep and recovery through the integration of sleep education, technology, and application of sleep research.

The Olympic Village beds have sparked conversation again and it’s a reminder that sleep environment matters more than most people realize.

Comfort, temperature, noise, light, and familiarity all influence how deeply you sleep and how well your body and brain recover. For elite athletes, small disruptions can add up quickly and the same is true for the rest of us!

Congratulations to the on their Super Bowl win!

As the sleep specialist for the team, I’ve seen firsthand how elite organizations are making sleep, recovery, and consistency part of their performance strategy.

Championship performances in professional sports require rest, recovery, and protecting athletes’ body clocks through the long grind of a season.

Whether you’re preparing for a big game, presentation, or life moment, this is a reminder: what you don’t see can matter just as much as what you do!
