  • No Jet Stress | A Clinician's Tips on Sleep & High Performance with Dr David Garley
    Dec 17 2025

    Send us a text

    The NoJetStress Podcast is a traveler wellbeing podcast for frequent business travelers covering health and peak performance on the road as well as to help business travelers maintain optimal health and avoid burnout no matter how much they travel. Christopher Babayode, a Corporate Travel Wellness Expert shares his insights on Traveler Wellness.

    In this episode, Christopher talks about:

    • How treating obstructive sleep apnoea revealed, almost overnight, what happens when chronically sleep‑deprived people finally rest well , and why they can look like a “different person” in days.
    • Why most patients don’t complain about “sleep” itself, but about memory, focus, mood, and low daytime energy.
    • The crucial difference between sleep and circadian rhythms, and why they can’t be understood in isolation.
    • What Formula One teams can teach global teams about maintaining performance across time zones.
    • How “weekend catch‑up sleep” and social jet lag quietly erode consistency, even for high achievers.
    • Why naps, used strategically, can be a performance tool rather than a guilty pleasure.
    • The mindset shift from “sleep is for wimps” to “sleep as a primary recovery technology” — on par with exercise and nutrition.

    Then we open the business travel chapter:

    • How much disruption you should really expect when travelling.
    • Why worrying about sleep can sometimes do more harm than the sleep loss itself.
    • The mental reframe that helps you perform even when your sleep isn’t perfect.

    Tune in to hear:

    • How Dr. Garley breaks performance into physical, cognitive, and emotional domains.
    • The evidence‑based insights drawn from both clinical practice and elite sport.
    • Our exchange on circadian health, jet lag, and sustainable performance on the road.
