This project has been years in the making. It’s more than just a sleep health manual; it’s a companion guide for the program. It contains the lectures, lessons, and the deeper story of why I made the transition from the SEAL Teams into sleep science.

The truth is, sleep is the foundation of human performance. Whether you’re a warfighter, first responder, athlete, or simply someone who struggles to fall and stay asleep, the principles in this book are designed to give you clarity and practical steps to take back control of your nights.

Inside, you’ll find:

Dr. Mednick does an incredible job of providing some serious detailed information surrounding the neural correlates of slow wave sleep with more physiological biomarkers, like heart rate variability. She describes how our minds and bodies can sometimes be in a state of stress and acitivity (Rev) and how we need to take time to balance those states with others of more chill, relaxed periods (Restore). This is a wonderful book for someone who is looking to both understand, on a neurobiological level, their own sleep along with tips for how to improve sleep. Highly recommend!!

Anything that Jack Carr writes is awesome! He and Chad Robichaux are my two favorite authors.

I may be a bit biased, but “Phoenix Revival: The aftermath of naval aviation’s fastest survived ejection” is a powerful read. While the ejection story is wild, the healing journey is full of practical wisdom and resources anyone can apply to their life. I hope you enjoy it!
