Hi, I'm Maya Iyer and I'm proof that rest can be learned

People are often surprised to hear this, but for most of my twenties I was a terrible sleeper.

Through residency I ran on five hours, three coffees and the belief that rest was something I would earn later. My blood pressure, my memory and my mood all disagreed.

Over the past two decades I've studied sleep and recovery at two universities, run a sleep lab, and written six books (and counting) on what actually moves the needle.

Beneath the credentials is someone who had to learn all of it the slow way - through data, mistakes, and a lot of early nights.

I want the same thing for you, minus the twenty years.
