Better Sleep for Performance and Wellbeing

Description

Disturbed sleep does not have to be the price you pay for success. Quality sleep can be a strategic asset when navigating a career, caregiving, and parenting. My approach bridges ancient mind–body medicine and cognitive behavioural therapy.

In this interactive, experiential masterclass, I shed light on:

• Sleep as depicted in mythology and art

• Why sleep is a pillar of physical and mental health in ancient mind–body medicine

• Circadian rhythm: your 24-hour biological clock

• The neuroscience of sleep: why we sleep and what happens in the brain and body during sleep

• Myths and misconceptions about sleep

• Why we lose sleep: three factors that lead to insomnia

• Stress & sleep: a bidirectional relationship

• Optimising your sleep for performance, mood, and longevity

We will end with a short breathwork practice for better sleep.
