Sleep is the single most important thing we can do to increase our health, performance, happiness, longevity, and quality of life. It’s no secret that there are tons of health benefits that come with sleep, but why is it that so many of us struggle to actually get good quality sleep and wake up feeling fresh and energized?

In today’s conversation, Todd talks about how he used sleep to gain an edge while being a walk-on to the Michigan State football team, how he has helped thousands of individuals from pro athletes and Olympians down to youth athletes improve their performance through sleep, and simple, practical things we can all implement in our days to enhance the quality of sleep so that we can show up as the best versions of ourselves each and every day.
