Hey !
Itās so awesome to connect with you!
First of all, nice inbox š
Second...congrats on proving how f*cking AWESOME you are by signing up for SleepHackers.
Youāre already a step ahead of everyone else and closer to getting better sleep so you can live a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.
Hereās what you can expect from here on out:
Starting tomorrow, youāll be receiving emails with tips, tactics and insights you can apply immediately to get better sleep, sharpen your mind, and improve your health.
Now, let me tell you a little bit about me.
I used to suffer from really bad sleep.
I mean constant tossing and turning, laying down trying to sleep only to check the time and realize hours had gone by.
āGo the f*ck to sleep already!ā Iād yell in my head, and sometimes even out loud, which of course kept me awake longer.
Iād wake up feeling like I was soaked in superglue, feeling slow and groggy and unmotivated.
Iād be physically and mentally drained all day, but when night came, Iād struggle to shut my mind down no matter how tired my body was (donāt you hate when that happens?).
I basically felt like thisš
ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME.
Needless to say, this affected my personal life, my relationships, and my business.
I was sick and tired of feeling this way, especially because Iām an active person with a lot of responsibilities and really big goals.
So in order to combat my fatigue, I tried a bunch of different supplements, specifically in a category known as ānootropicsā which are supposed to be ācognitive enhancersā aka smart drugs.
I even took the prescription drug Modafinil (the closest thing to the ālimitlessā pill).
These were all short term fixes that only made the problem worse in the long run, because even if I had a really productive, energetic day, Iād turn back into a zombie for at least 2 days after.
Then one day I came across some research by the worldās top sleep experts that not only helped me improve my sleep but also taught me how to use sleep as the ultimate performance enhancer.
I even invested in some sleep tech to measure my sleep (Iāll share my tech recommendations some day), and discovered some pretty big problems, including the fact that I donāt get enough deep sleep, which is why I would wake up feeling tired even after getting 8+ hours of sleep.
So I dug into the research, got obsessed, and wanted to preach the Good Word of Sleep to all who would listen so that maybe, just maybe, I could help improve someoneās quality of life.
And thus, SleepHackers was born.
Iām not a scientist or a medical professional, but I am committed to learning from the top experts and best minds in the sleep community.
So tell me, whatās your biggest struggle with sleep?
Or if you donāt want to share that, what do you hope to get out of SleepHackers?
I really want to know.
Just hit reply and fire away.
If you really donāt want to share that with me, just reply to let me know you got this email.
Ready. Set. Sleep š¤ š“

PS ā Iām going to get into more detail about this later, but if youāve been diagnosed with a sleep disorder, the tips I share here may not help. If thatās the case, make sure to follow your doctorās advice. HOWEVER, I will be discussing my research on sleeping pills and how theyāre actually REALLY BAD because they make you unconscious instead of putting you to sleep (and thereās a HUGE difference between these, which Iāll get into in the future).
