The 3am Founder: Quiet the Mind

Founders and CEOs spend their days optimizing the business. Sleep, the thing that powers every decision, rarely gets the same attention.

Join us for an afternoon on the science and practice of sleep: what happens in the brain and body when we sleep well (and when we don't), and the habits, techniques, and tools that make a real difference. Whether you already sleep well and want to understand why, or you're simply curious about getting more out of your rest, this session is for you.

What We'll Cover

Why Sleep MattersWhat happens in the brain and body while we sleep, how stress and a busy mind can affect it, and what poor sleep really costs your focus, energy, and decision-making.

Habits and Techniques That WorkPractical, evidence-based ways to wind down, build morning and evening rituals, and create a sleep routine that fits a demanding schedule.

Tools and TechnologyHow data and new tools can help you understand and improve your sleep over time, from someone who has built one.

Who It's For

Founders, CEOs, and business owners who are curious about sleep and want practical ideas they can start using right away.
