Michael J. Breus, PhD

Michael J. Breus, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine. He was one of the youngest people to have passed the Board at age 31 and, with a specialty in Sleep Disorders and Neuropsychological Testing, is one of only 163 psychologists in the world with his credentials and distinction. He currently serves as Chairman of the Clinical Advisory Board for Sleep Holdings, Inc. (SLHJ.PK), the only U.S. publicly traded healthcare service provider organization focused on the rapidly growing market of sleep diagnostics and sleep therapy.

His first book, GOOD NIGHT: The Sleep Doctor's 4-Week Program to Better Sleep and Better Health (Dutton/Penguin, 2006), an Amazon Top 100 Best Seller, has been met with rave reviews and continues to change the lives of readers. It is now in paperback as BEAUTY SLEEP: Look Younger, Lose Weight, and Feel Great Through Better Sleep.

As the subject of sleep gains greater momentum in our sleep-deprived society, Dr. Breus is quickly becoming the widely recognized leader in this highly evolving field. Dedicated to raising awareness of both sleep disorders and what he calls "disordered sleep" in the public and healthcare communities, Dr. Breus is on a mission to develop innovative education and communication programs.

In addition to his private practice where he treats athletes, celebrities and the like, he also trains other sleep doctors and consults with major airlines, hotel chains, mattress manufacturers and retailers to provide the optimum sleep experience for their customers. His audio relaxation CD, distributed by Crowne Plaza Hotels and the online record store CD Baby, has been distributed to more than 2 million listeners; and for the past 8 years, he has served as the Sleep Expert for WebMD Health, a leading Internet site for health-related information. You'll also find him on AOL where he is a Wellness Coach and "on-air columnist" with YOU, THE OWNER'S MANUAL, a syndicated health radio show with the bestselling author Dr. Mike Roizen.

Dr. Breus is on the faculty of the Atlanta School of Sleep Medicine and belongs to several speakers bureaus. He has provided editorial services for numerous medical and psychology peer-reviewed journals and has given hundreds of presentations to professionals and the general public. His articles have appeared in peer-reviewed scientific journals and trade magazines. Popular publications continually call on him for interviews, including Time, Reader's Digest, Fast Company, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Elle, Self, Shape, Parent's Magazine, Child, RedBook, Town and Country, Cosmopolitan, Maxim, National Geographic and Marie Claire, among others. Recent live interviews for local, national and international news and entertainment television, as well as radio shows, have included Oprah, The Today Show, The View, CNN, CNN Business Traveler, Fox News, The Morning Show Australia and The Early Show.
