Dr. Michael J. Breus, PhD D, ABSM is the Sleep Doctor! He's a clinical psychologist and double board-certified sleep specialist who has spent decades helping people understand the science of sleep and improve their rest through practical, research-backed strategies. Dr. Breus regularly shares his expertise on national television, podcasts, and in bestselling books, and is known for popularizing the concept of chronotypes—biological sleep patterns that influence when people naturally feel alert or tired.
Your chronotype is your body’s natural preference for when you sleep and wake. Chronotypes influence when you feel most alert, productive, or tired during the day. Understanding your chronotype can help you align your schedule with your biology. Find out your chronotype by taking the chronoquiz.
Feeling tired despite getting enough hours of sleep can happen for several reasons, including poor sleep quality, circadian rhythm misalignment, stress, or an undiagnosed sleep disorder like sleep apnea. Testing your sleep at home with a Home Sleep Study is a good first step to reclaiming your nights.
A Home Sleep Study is a medical evaluation you can complete at home to check for breathing disruptions during sleep, including sleep apnea. It has three points of contact on your body to track data while you sleep and measures central and obstructive sleep apnea events, true sleep time, snoring, breathing rates, oxygen saturation levels, heart rate, your body's position, and how much time you spend in each sleep stage. The device sends data to a doctor via Bluetooth, allowing them to tailor treatment options to your unique needs.
If you’re unsure whether your symptoms point to a specific sleep disorder, starting with a sleep consult can help determine the best next step. If symptoms strongly suggest sleep apnea—such as loud snoring or extreme daytime fatigue—a Home Sleep Study may be recommended next step.
