I, Henri Tuomilehto, am one of the few full-time sleep physicians in the world. I’ve been involved in sleep research for over 20 years. I have examined and treated more than 15.000 patients with sleep disorders. I have a mission. 'Better health, quality-of-life and performance, avoiding exhausting by improved sleep and recovery - A better world through better sleep.' That is my mission. I’m a Co-Founder and Head Coach of Lepo Sleepguide. A systematic, individual coaching method aiming at enhanced coping, executive function & cognition, self-knowledge, and avoidance of exhaustion. A method based on my 20-year scientific and clinical experience on every aspect of sleep and recovery. (Improved) Awareness & (Better) Identification & (Honest) Confession & (Guided) Action – create the very Core of Lepo SleepGuide. https://www.leposleepguide.com/ I work with everyone from Finnair pilots to elite professional athletes and help them use sleep to optimize all aspects of their lives. I’ve studied and coached more than 1000 of the world’s top professional athletes, including the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets. Aiming at better recovery and thus, enhanced performance. I’m honored to be an internationally distinguished keynote lecturer in the sleep and recovery field. I could be described as a passionate and open-minded person, and I strongly believe in my own vision. Over 10 years ago, I resigned from a university and hospital career to start as an entrepreneur and establish my first sleep clinic. This journey has led me to build a largest sleep clinic network in Scandinavia, treating over 3000 patients annually. I’ve been elected among the Top 100 most influential persons in medicine in Finland and published a Best-Seller "Sleep to Succeed", which was nominated the best well-being book in Finland by Fit Awards 2020. https://henrituomilehto.com/ I led the first randomized study to show that healthy lifestyle can improve sleep and even cure an existing sleep disorder. I was a pioneer in utilizing this combination of healthy nutrition, regular exercise, and restorative sleep in my clinical practice. The innovative approach to the treatment of sleep disorders has had a significant impact on the changes in global treatment guidelines. I’ve been recognized as a Specialist in Sleep Medicine by the Finnish Medical Association and a Somnologist-Expert in Sleep Medicine by the European Sleep Research Society. Sleep determines who we are, how we behave and what happens inside us. Sleep is also a skill that can be improved & strengthened. That makes Sleep a Superpower.

Henri is an extremely distinguished lecturer. His practical lectures address challenges, and changes in working life reflecting the current situation where despite the increased digitization, remote work and overall burden, we have all forgotten the counter-force, restoring sleep. Henri’s lectures are saucy and down-to-earth that highlight the impact of everyday choices, offering tools to succeed in whatever organizations or individually consider important for themselves. Restoring sleep determines everything. My book - Sleep to Succeed - (unfortunately available only in Finnish thus far). I have have a strong belief that most human beings can improve their sleep by themselves. The best-seller aims to provide knowledge how each of us can improve and strengthen their sleep. Restoring & Sufficient sleep is The Key for success & better life! The best well-being book by Fit Awards 2021. https://www.tammi.fi/kirja/henri-tuomilehto/nukkumalla-menestykseen/9789520408824
