Chris Winter is a neurologist and sleep expert who helps his patients learn to sleep better. One of his most recent areas of interest surrounds athletes and sleep. He’s researched how travel affects professional athletes and he’s often hired to teach them how to sleep better when they’re on the road.
He’s the author of two books. His first book, “The Sleep Solution,” was released in 2017. His newest book is called “The Rested Child.”
How Does a Lack of Sleep Affect Your Mental Health?
Dr. Winter brings a fresh perspective to the sleep industry. While many people are quick to turn to medication as a first line of defense with sleep troubles, he encourages people to be less anxious about their sleep difficulties.
He also conducts research about sleep and how it can improve athletes’ performance. And he shares his knowledge not just with the teams who hire him but he also talks about what he’s uncovered in his books.
Despite his busy schedule, he continues to see patients in the office as well. He stays up to date on the types of struggles people continue to experience with their sleep and keeps his suggestions realistic and relatable.
