Through his work with top athletes, he’s found an amazingly effective way to show that sleep can be the ultimate performance enhancer — in sports, at work, and in every aspect of our lives.’ ‘[I]rreverent but still rooted in clinical science … [Winter’s] no-nonsense advice can be quickly summoned at 3.07am when the temptation to check Facebook or raid the biscuit tin can feel overwhelming.’ ‘Until I met Chris Winter, I slept like a baby: I woke every two hours and cried.
