Dr. Michael Breus The Sleep Doctor

The Power of When — the Science of Chronotypes. This talk introduces an old idea in a very new way. Each of us has a unique bio-time for our circadian rhythm often referred to as your Chronotype. Beyond the early bird and the night owl, two other types exist — and they are hard-wired into our biology and hormones. With over 300 evidence-based studies, Dr. Breus has assembled a fun, enlightening speech that starts with his comprehensive Bio-Time Quiz to figure out your Chronotype (Bear, Lion, Dolphin, or Wolf?).

Dr. Breus takes attendees on a science-based journey into the world of dreaming — covering REM vs. NREM dreams, types of dreams (lucid, recurring, predictive, and disturbing), and what common dream themes reveal about our waking lives. He explores the purpose of dreams through brain development, memory consolidation, and mood regulation, drawing on theories from Freud, Jung, and modern neuroscience. Practical, engaging, and thought-provoking — this lecture turns something everyone experiences into a window for self-discovery and better sleep.

Millions suffer from poor sleep, hydration, and oxygenation — leading to burnout, reduced immunity, and cognitive issues. These three simple behaviors have the largest impact on our health. This talk offers a revolutionary, science-based program with practical tools and techniques, featuring real patient stories and groundbreaking research.

In this comprehensive presentation, I demonstrate how sleep directly impacts the four major physiological processes that influence aging: insulin/IGF-1, AMPK, mTOR, and sirtuin pathways. Through evidence-based research and practical application, I've developed protocols to optimize your sleep for enhanced longevity and vitality. This program provides actionable strategies to improve sleep quality and support healthy aging processes all in my practical easy to understand and implement style.

This talk provides participants with an understanding of the basic science of sleep as well as an in-depth look at how elite athletes and C-level executives use sleep as their secret weapon — including how they deal with jet lag, catch up on sleep, nap, and reduce their need for sleep.

This talk provides participants with an understanding of how sleep can affect their business's bottom line. Dr. Breus reviews the potential HR issues of sleep disorders, sleep deprivation-related productivity issues companies may face, how sleep affects leadership and management roles, and how Chronorythms can be leveraged to improve productivity.

Participants record in their workbooks 3 typical evenings in great detail (one at home, one while on the road, and one while going to an evening event where they stay out late). As a group they evaluate these evenings and learn healthy ways to have fun and still get rest. Attendees also learn the Power Down Hour Technique, along with progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery. Audio files are sent to attendees to use that evening while falling asleep.

Dr. Breus reviews the bedroom environment from a 5-senses perspective (Sight, Sound, Taste, Smell, and Touch). Part one covers your sleep system: mattress, sheets, pillows, and comforter. Part two covers light (blue light, its effects, and what types to have in your bedroom), sound (how much noise is too much, snoring solutions, sound machines), and much more. Dr. Breus also provides examples of good and bad products for review.

This lecture covers the 10 most asked questions Dr. Breus receives when lecturing and on the road — including: How do I go back to sleep when I wake up at night? Does reading before bed affect my ability to sleep? Is it bad to watch TV before sleep? Does my sleeping position affect sleep quality? What do I do if my bed partner and I don't go to bed at the same time? Why do I wake up early? Why do I wake up tired after a full night of rest? How much can I sleep in? Can I sleep in on weekends? How do you sleep on an airplane and deal with jet lag?

Dr. Breus provides a review of all current sleep medications (pros and cons), over-the-counter sleep aids, and identifies supplements, vitamins, and minerals that affect sleep. In this one-hour lecture he shows attendees how to still partake in adult activities without affecting sleep (too much).

A one-hour keynote presentation followed by a 90-minute Q&A session. Complimentary private 1:1 sleep consults available day of (limit: 1 hr per person).

Three one-hour workshops delivered across a single day, with a 25-minute Q&A following each session.

A personalized small-group experience for up to eight participants, each receiving an at-home sleep study with a wearable “Happy Ring.” Dr. Breus provides individualized sleep evaluations, an in-depth discussion of sleep apnea and insomnia, and assistance connecting participants with local sleep specialists. This experience can be offered as a standalone program or added to any speaking engagement.

An interactive discussion featuring a 30-minute lecture and 60-minute Q&A centered on one of Dr. Breus' books. Includes up to 10 copies of the selected book.

Personalized sleep assessments, customized optimization strategies, and one-on-one guidance through a series of 10 Zoom sessions.
