Are you struggling with poor sleep, low energy, brain fog, or burnout? In this episode of Wishing You Well, Health Coach Maria Patrick breaks down the powerful insights from The New York Times article “5 Sleep Habits to Steal from the Olympians” and explains how elite athletes competing in the Olympic Games optimize their sleep for peak performance — and how you can do the same.
Olympians don’t treat sleep as optional. They treat it as recovery training. And the science is clear: quality sleep supports hormone balance, muscle repair, immune health, metabolism, mental clarity, emotional regulation, and longevity.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔ Why top athletes prioritize 8–10 hours of sleep
✔ How to build a powerful nighttime wind-down routine
✔ The ideal sleep environment for deeper rest
✔ How strategic napping improves performance
✔ The critical role of morning sunlight and limiting blue light at night
Whether you’re focused on weight loss, stress management, fitness, healing, or healthy aging, better sleep may be the missing piece.
If you’re ready to wake up feeling clear, energized, and restored — this episode is your starting point. Tune in and start sleeping like a high performer.
