Sleep as Performance Infrastructure
Sleep is not a productivity tax — it is the infrastructure on which every other performance input runs. Drawing on her work at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dr. Robbins lays out the science of sleep, the cost of getting it wrong, and the protocols that make it programmable.
