With Dr. Els van der Helm, internationally renowned sleep neuroscientist featured in Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, TIME Magazine, BBC, The Atlantic, Forbes, and McKinsey Quarterly

Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a powerful tool that shapes how we think, feel, and perform. Yet in our always-on culture, it’s often the first thing we neglect.

In this masterclass, Dr. Els van der Helm reveals the crucial role of sleep in our daily lives and how we can start prioritizing it—without overhauling our routines.

She will take you through the fascinating science of why we sleep, what happens when we don’t, and how to break the cycle of poor rest. With a unique background that bridges neuroscience, leadership, and psychology, Dr. van der Helm translates cutting-edge research into practical strategies for better rest and performance.

In this masterclass, you’ll gain insights into:

  • Why sleep is essential for peak performance and well-being
  • The hidden costs of sleep deprivation and how sleep debt builds up
  • What your daytime habits have to do with your nighttime rest
  • How to improve your sleep immediately with practical tips and evidence-based tools

Plus bonus content specifically for new parents!
