Meet the Founder: A Journey to Better Sleep

Hi there! I'm the founder of SleepIQ, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you. My path to creating this company wasn't a straight line, but it led me to a passion for helping others achieve better sleep.

I started my career in retail back in the early 80s, then took some time to travel and explore the world. When I returned home in 1988, I jumped into the real estate industry, eventually opening my own office in 1993. Over the years, I've been involved in various aspects of real estate, from land subdivision to property development.

But life has a way of throwing curveballs, doesn't it? In 1990, I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, which left me with reduced muscle control in my right eye. This condition made it incredibly challenging for me to get a good night's sleep, something I had always taken for granted before.

Determined to improve my sleep quality, I dove headfirst into research. I'm not a sleep expert by training, but I became one through sheer determination and countless hours of studying YouTube videos, podcasts, and any sleep-related information I could get my hands on.

What I discovered was both surprising and exciting: achieving better sleep often comes down to a few simple tricks. The most important one? Go to bed in darkness and wake up in light. This revelation sparked the idea for SleepIQ.

I created SleepIQ because I believe everyone deserves to experience the life-changing benefits of quality sleep. It's not just about feeling less tired – good sleep is the foundation of our overall health and well-being. It affects our mood, our productivity, our relationships, and even our long-term health.

Through SleepIQ, I want to share what I've learned and help others transform their sleep and, by extension, their lives. Because when we sleep better, we live better.

So, whether you're a fellow sleep struggler or just someone looking to optimize your rest, welcome to SleepIQ. Let's embark on this journey to better sleep together!
