About this listen

If Sleep Were a Drug: The Science of Sleep Optimization-Biohack Your Brain, Body, and Performance is a comprehensive guide to improving your sleep. Written by the FBI's Sleep Expert, Dr. Leah Kaylor, a licensed clinical and prescribing psychologist specializing in sleep and trauma.

This is the book first responders have been waiting for-a blueprint to tackle one of their top complaints: Sleep. Designed for those with demanding schedules and high-stress roles, it provides actionable strategies to overcome poor sleep and unlock better rest, stronger resiliency, and peak performance for years to come.

Based on cutting-edge sleep science, written in layperson's terms, and full of tactical suggestions that can be implemented immediately, discover how to:

  • Forge Relationship Armor: Safeguard your marriage, family, and home life from the collateral damage of poor sleep.
  • Crack the Caffeine Code: Smart use of timing, dose, and cut-off to boost operational capacity on duty without wrecking your recharge off duty.
  • Implement the Shutdown Sequence: How to design the ultimate wind-down routine and bulletproof your sleep environment for maximum recovery.
  • Defuse the Midnight Callout: Step-by-step protocols to shut off adrenaline after chaos and get back to sleep.
  • Sleep Disruption Playbook: What to do when insomnia, nightmares, sleeping walking, night terrors, sleep paralysis, or restless legs hit without warning.
  • Erratic Schedule Survival: Whether you work nights or irregular hours-protect your sleep no matter how your schedule changes.

If you haven't had a good night's sleep in years, this book is written for you. And if you've been telling yourself, "I'll sleep when I'm dead," this book is your wake-up call.
