The Science of Sleep: Pro Athletes Optimizing Performance With Sleep

Abstract

Dr. Timothy Royer is the founder of Neuropeak Pro, one of the nation’s leading performance optimization centers dedicated to one-on-one, clinical training for sports professionals and business leaders. A visionary leader and PsyD psychologist, Royer is best known for fusing foundational insights of psychology together with state-of-the-art technology and clinical measurements to assess and optimize brain performance. Royer’s vision of brain optimization has come full circle — mirroring his rise from ball boy to neuroscientist for the Cleveland Browns – and today he is revolutionizing the way individuals train their brains for maximum performance. Not only are Royer’s insights and techniques highly sought out by professional sports teams, but he is also a trusted resource for NBA All-Stars, NFL standouts, Olympians, bestselling authors, and C-suite executives. Before launching Neuropeak Pro, Royer served as division chief of pediatric psychology at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich. In the late ’90s, the US FDA moved to allow advertising of controlled prescription substances directly to doctors, educators and parents. Royer witnessed a concurrent over-diagnosis of ADHD/anxiety disorders in his patients. In the wake of this shift, Royer took his expertise in brain-based assessment, biofeedback, neurofeedback, and the autonomic nervous system and founded a new company with a clinical focus on brain activity. This effort ultimately led to today’s Neuropeak Pro organization. Royer has garnered national coverage as a leading neuroscientist and thought-leader in major outlets including ESPN and The Wall Street Journal.
