Special Episode #68: Sleep Optimization for Entrepreneurs and High Performers, Part 1

Sleep isn’t everything—but it impacts everything.In this episode, Glenn Lubert, founder of Stamina Lab, shares a solution-focused approach to optimizing sleep that goes far beyond quick fixes, rigid rules, or tracking every minute of rest. Drawing from his personal struggle with severe insomnia as an entrepreneur, Glenn explains how poor sleep affected his clarity, decision-making, and performance—and what finally led to lasting change.Instead of trying to “fix” sleep problems, this conversation introduces the REST framework, a values-driven approach that helps embed better sleep into your entire day. The focus shifts from what’s broken to who you want to become, using identity, alignment, and awareness to create sustainable habits that feel natural rather than forced.Glenn walks through core sleep hygiene components—including timing, light exposure, bedroom environment, temperature, food, alcohol, and caffeine—while emphasizing customization over perfection. Rather than attempting to change everything at once, listeners are encouraged to notice what resonates, what fits their values, and what feels easy to begin with.This episode reframes sleep as a foundation for energy, focus, resilience, and presence—not a task to manage or a problem to solve. It’s about building recovery into your life in a way that supports performance and well-being over the long term.If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed by sleep advice, this conversation offers a calmer, more sustainable path forward—one rooted in values, progress, and lasting change.00:00 Welcome & Purpose01:03 Sleep Journey03:13 Introducing REST06:00 Sleep Hygiene Basics13:07 Organic Choices14:11 Final Thoughts5 Key TakeawaysSleep isn’t everything, but it impacts everything—including energy, focus, and decision-making.Most sleep approaches fail because they focus on fixing problems instead of building lasting change.Sustainable sleep improvement starts with values and identity, not rigid rules.Optimizing sleep means designing your entire day—from morning light to evening routines.Progress comes from identifying what’s already working and choosing habits that fit you.Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/No97ZYpkoTMVisit the Nassau Health Store at Amelia Island or order online at https://nassauhealthfood.com
