About this episode

Can you improve your sleep to boost your brain power overnight?

Sleep is one of the most important elements of good brain health. Chronic sleep problems are a major factor in cognitive decline and increases your risk for degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. When you optimize the quality of your sleep, your brain functions at its peak. But where do you start?

I’m excited to have Jack Dell’Accio on the show today. Jack is the Founder and CEO of Essentia and has analyzed sleep for over twenty years. He’s a certified sleep coach with a focus on the impact of restorative sleep for recovery, disease prevention, and longevity. Jack has also worked with many of the world’s top athletes helping them with injury recovery and optimizing their performance—both on and off the field.

You can learn how to sleep like a pro. But like any pro-athlete, you have to start with the right equipment. A good mattress can increase your REM and deep sleep stages, which will significantly improve your mental and physical health. If you want to learn more about which mattress I use, why I chose it, and how you can learn to sleep like a pro no matter what mattress you have, this episode is for you.
