Research shows sleep debt can lead to…
The fact is, research is just beginning to uncover the many ways genetics influence your sleep schedule.

The generic sleep solutions you’ve read over and over won’t work for your bio-individual needs.
The Sleep Doctor
Michael Breus, Ph.D.
Dr. Michael Breus is a clinical psychologist, diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, and fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
He was one of the youngest people to pass the board at age 31, and with a specialty in Sleep Disorders, he’s one of only 163 psychologists in the world with these credentials.
In The Ultimate Sleep Optimization Course, he’s applied 17 years of clinical experience along with rigorously tested scientific techniques for better sleep.
Each module includes sections that are easy to digest and implement—the goal is not to interrupt your entire evening but to go with your flow so you get better quality sleep and a healthier, more joyful life.
Sleep issues cause fatigue in multiple ways.
Yes, you’re tired because you aren’t sleeping properly…
But did you know your immune, cardiovascular, endocrine, and nervous systems are taking a hit, too?
In a recent study exploring the links between sleep and cancer risk, researchers found that the risk of incident cancer increased by 69% in those that slept less than 7 hours per night. [4]
Another review that combined the statistical findings of over 25 studies found that short sleep duration may increase cancer risk in certain populations, while sleeping for too long might heighten the risk for colorectal cancer by approximately 20%. [5]

Aging, autoimmune disease, or hidden food sensitivities might not be the causes of your chronic pain.
Low-quality sleep leads to increased pain sensitivity, lower pain tolerance, and worsening of muscle pain, joint pain, and headaches.
For years, scientists have understood the cyclical relationship between sleep and pain; poor sleep can lead to worse pain, and pain can keep you from getting good sleep!
But research now shows that insufficient sleep, not pain, is the primary driver of the relationship between pain and sleep. [10]
In fact, people with chronic pain are 18 times more likely to meet the criteria for insomnia… and this lack of sleep is the most obvious driver of their life-altering condition. [11]
Even partial sleep deprivation can weaken cognitive performance, along with impairing attention, judgment, memory, and decision-making.
Good sleep is non-negotiable if you have big goals at work, the gym, or to show up for your family.
A study of over 500 people found that those with sleep disorders had 40% greater workplace productivity losses compared to those on a healthy sleep schedule. This equaled over 130 lost hours per year! [12]
It’s called beauty sleep for a reason!
Research shows that low-quality or lack of sleep shortens telomeres and alters mitochondria—without proper rest, your mitochondria can’t perform at top capacity and even suffer injury and loss of function. [13. 14, 15]
This speeds up cellular aging that can lead to dementia, metabolic syndrome, muscle loss, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and every other chronic, debilitating condition.
The Ultimate Sleep Optimization Course provides
easy-to-incorporate ways to stop subpar sleep, protect your mitochondria, and turn back the clock on cellular aging. Sleeping more deeply is one of the most effective and foundational strategies for slowing the rate of aging.

The beauty of The Ultimate Sleep Optimization Course is that it will help you assess when it’s time to speak with your doctor, and if you are diagnosed with a sleep-related disease like insomnia or sleep apnea, it will provide you with powerful, individualized resources that compliment your doctor’s recommendations and lead to even better sleep.
While it’s not mandatory to acquire anything other than the fantastic information in this course for improved sleep, Dr. Breus does make resource recommendations that you can explore…or not!
Many resources depend wholly on your needs, such as mattresses, pillows, and sleep technology, such as apps that can help you avoid jetlag.
The bottom line: This course is leagues beyond other sleep recommendations, even ones from reliable sources.
Dr. Michael Breus, your instructor for The Ultimate Sleep Optimization Course, will personally lead you through modules covering everything from the myth of needing 8 hours of sleep per night (did you know too much sleep might be detrimental to your health?) to a professional guide that helps you and your doctor assess the effects of psychotropic and neurotropic medications on sleep.
This is a great question!
Thankfully, Dr. Breus has decades of clinical experience and has worked with thousands of patients in his functional sleep practice.
His experience led him to develop a systemized approach to sleep. This approach uses detailed intakes to allow you to identify your special sleep “chronotype,” i.e., the best pattern of sleeping (and waking, eating, and exercising!) for your specific needs.
And yes, his recommendations have you covered if you’re someone dealing with insomnia or another sleep-related diagnosis.
