Today we're thrilled to welcome Dr. Nitun Verma, a Stanford-trained sleep physician who designed and ran clinical sleep programs for Apple employees globally and for Meta.
Nitun's practice has evolved over the years to focus primarily on founders, tech executives, and high-performing professionals who are convinced they've optimized everything, except their sleep.
In this conversation, he breaks down why most high-performers are quietly underperforming because of habits they've never questioned, and what to actually do about it.
