Description
Sleep is a mysterious state of mind and body that we spend an awful lot of time in - a third of our lives. Just imagine, for an average person who has lived 75 years, he will have spent 25 years of his life in sleep.
Sleep is hard to define, but it’s easy to feel the importance of it - just skip a night and your body will show you how big of a mistake you have made. Yet, despite its vital importance, few of us really know enough about what sleep really is, how it works, how it affects our physical and emotional state and most importantly how we can make our sleep more efficient and make the best use of it.
In this course we are going to learn the fundamental facts about sleep which is by the way and interestingly enough not something homogeneous, it consists of multiple and different phases, each of them being essential for our physical and emotional wellbeing. We will learn how our simple decisions during the day affect our sleep performance at night, and how in turn the quality of our sleep affects our daily life. And of course we are going to learn how to improve our sleep habits so that we can fully utilize its potential and enormous benefits for our mental and physical health.
The course is short and concise, yet in contains practically all necessary information on improving the quality of sleep via simple changes in your lifestyle.
As you join the course, you will get Checklist to Monitor Your Sleep which you can use to track your sleep performance and what changes in your lifestyle affect its efficiency.
Join me in exploring this mysterious yet so important gift that every single one of us has and let’s dive into it.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who is interested in improving their sleep quality for better performance during the day
- Those who have troubles falling asleep and having efficient sleep at night

I'm an MA graduate with degrees in International Relations and World Economy. Learning foreign languages, travelling and working in cosmopolitan environments has always been indispensable part of my life.
My work experience includes working on challenging projects for government and private sector (security products, banking, investment) across 5 continents, including Africa, Middle East, South-East Asia and Americas, and internship at the UN Office and WTO in Geneva, Switzerland.
I'm totally passionate about psychology, craftsmanship, motivation, personal finance and languages - I speak English, Russian, French, Turkish and a little Arabic, I also started learning Hungarian a while ago:). I'm keen on reading, sports, football, and playing the guitar.
I'm always eager to enhance and learn new skills and strive for new knowledge.
In my courses I try to combine basic theoretical knowledge with practical examples, and deliver them in reasonably short yet powerful, ready-to-implement lectures.
