What if one of the biggest factors affecting your leadership isn’t another course, another strategy or another productivity hack… but the quality of your sleep?

In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde is joined by behavioural scientist and performance expert Dr Jemma King to explore the science of sleep and why it’s one of the most overlooked drivers of leadership performance.

Together, they unpack what really happens when you wake at 3am, how sleep impacts your ability to think, regulate emotions and make decisions, and the simple habits that can help you perform at your best.

In this episode:

• Why sleep is a leadership strategy, not a luxury.
• What happens to your brain while you sleep.
• Why so many people wake at 2am or 3am.
• How poor sleep affects decision-making, resilience and emotional regulation.

• Practical ways to improve your sleep and performance.
