Course Curriculum

Learn about how two systems, our circadian rhythm and sleep drive, interplay to affect our sleep.

How Your Daytime Affects Your Nighttime:

How do the choices you make, even in the morning, play out in your bedroom?

Your Pre-Bed Routine:

Learn what small tweaks you can make to your daily routine to yield major outcomes.

Your Bedroom Environment:

Environmental changes are just as effective as behavioral changes for better sleep — and when you combine the two, you’ve got a bedtime double threat.

Your Morning Routine:

Learn how to craft your morning routine to set the tone for an energized day and a sound sleep.

Your Bed Partner:

Dr. Breus teaches you how to sleep better with a restless bed partner.

Supplements Done Right:

Learn how natural sleep aids fit into a healthy sleep regimen.

Travel and Jet Lag:

Managing your sleep while you travel can make or break a trip.

Sleep, Diet, and Exercise:

In this lesson, we’ll look at how diet and exercise can strengthen our natural sleep rhythms.

Meditations for Sleep:

There is nothing more effective for sustainable sleep health than meditation. An ongoing practice helps us cultivate a calmer nervous system and slide more easily into sleep.
