This episode is A Slice of Some Assembly Required. I have lucked out on my fair share of sleep in my lifetime. I've also had my sleep cycles interrupted far too many times. Having a young child with epilepsy means I never really switch off, simply because a seizure can happen without warning. Dr. Els van der Helm is a sleep neuroscientist and joins me on this episode from her home office in Switzerland. Els is focused on helping us improve our day to day performance by improving the sleep of business leaders and their teams. Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global named Dr. van der Helm one of the top 5 sleep experts in the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to the full episode: The power of sleep and the downside of alarms Connect with Dr Els van Der Helm on LinkedIn + Instagram or visit Dr. Els van der Helm's website for more information.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with the host, Sean Loots on Instagram and Linkedin Some Assembly Required on Youtube Some Assembly Required on Instagram Some Assembly Required on TikTok Hosted on Acast.
