The strategic guide to life’s most overlooked game: sleep.
It’s 3 a.m. and you’re wide awake, negotiating with tomorrow before it’s even begun. You’re not alone. Between 30-45% of adults struggle with restless nights and the fallout: fog, fatigue, frustration.
Sleep disruption isn’t just exhausting - it’s costly. Well-rested employees are 22% more productive than those sleeping less than the recommended 7-9 hours.
Stop leaving good days to chance. Start rethinking your game plan to optimise your days so your nights can optimise you.
Drawing on her 25-year executive career and portfolio life, Penelope Barr reframes the sleep conversation. Grounded in scientific research, behavioural experiments, expert insights and slept experience, this book offers an actionable plan to reset your rhythms.
