Teaching Lisa How to Sleep
Season 3 - Episode 8
The number one performance enhancer in the world is sleep. Whether you measure error rate, reaction time, mood, decision making, emotional intelligence - we simply aren't performing up to our capabilities if we don't sleep. And yet, we cannot think ourselves to sleep. Believe me I have tried.
In this week's podcast we speak to Dr. Jonathan Charest, the director of Athlete Sleep Services at the University of Calgary, on how to improve our performance with sleep.
