The Power of Sleep

Dr. Tim Royer, PsyD, is a Michigan-based neuroscientist who has worked with some of the world’s top performers including NBA All Stars, NFL standouts, bestselling authors and C-suite executives from across the nation. Performing at a high of a level can take a toll on the body and the mind. According to Dr. Royer, there is one thing that puts top performers at a level above everyone else – sleep. Seems too simple to be true, but talk to Dr. Royer and you’ll see the science behind it.

Top performers get AT LEAST nine hours of sleep every night, and for example, in Roger Federer’s case, he gets upwards of 12 hours of sleep per night. It’s no wonder he’s been at the pinnacle of tennis for so many years. If the brain doesn’t receive the optimal amount of rest and recharging, the body can’t perform at an optimal level.

Dr. Royer is a renowned psychologist best known for fusing foundational insights of psychology together with state-of-the art technology and clinical measurements to assess and optimize brain performance.

Hour 1: Cutting the Cord…Suddenly at the Braun Household

Foster and his wife Ginny were greeted with an unpleasant but all too frequent notice on their Roku Smart TV on the evening of July 3, that the network connection was down.  This was not an infrequent event so Foster went to the Comcast router and unplugged it for the usual 30 seconds which would then be followed by replugging the router into the power and waiting about 5 minutes for all the systems to reboot. That was when Foster discovered that he had unwittingly cut the cord!   When he tried to plug the power cord back into the Comcast router, it wouldn’t hold the power. No more thinking about cutting the cord…It was done!
