Sleep in... and win! | Ian Dunican | TEDxPerth

How well do you sleep?

In an age of electrical lighting, shift work, and 24-hour news cycles, many of us have sacrificed and compromised our sleep.

Yet, to perform at our best, Ian Dunican believes we must approach sleep as a serious matter. In this talk, Ian concentrates our minds on the need for sleep and shares some tips on how to sleep better - and therefore perform better.
