Happy New Year and welcome to the ABCA podcast. This week’s guest is Dr. Chris Winter. This is a great way to kick off this year’s episodes. Dr. Winter has been called “The Sleep Whisperer”. He is certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine & the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He has his medical degree from the University of Virginia.

With his work he has brought to light how lack of sleep causes injuries. This episode will be a great resource for anyone. We go all over the map on sleep and performance.
