About this Event

Reclaiming Rest: A New, Resilient Approach to Sleep
Dr. Jade Wu, PhD



Sleep influences far more than how rested we feel. It shapes how we regulate emotion, connect with others, generate new ideas, and grow from our experiences. But even those who appreciate its importance and want to prioritize rest often find themselves struggling to reach their ideal sleep. Even gadgets, supplements, and sleep hygiene don’t seem to help in the face of life’s changes and challenges.

In this Spark Salon, board-certified sleep psychologist and author Dr. Jade Wu explores a new way to approach sleep that is intuitive and resilient—treating sleep as a relationship to nurture rather than an engineering problem to hack. 

Drawing from neuroscience, clinical practice, and her work with high-performing professionals, she helps us understand how working with, instead of against, our unique sleep physiology is the foundation to steadier moods, clearer thinking, and recovery from challenge. This talk offers a grounded, humane perspective on sleep; one that moves beyond rigid rules or quick fixes and instead focuses on the malleable tools we can use to build a healthier, more sustainable relationship with rest.

In-person attendees will receive a complimentary book.

6:00 p.m.: Doors open, reception

Wu is the author of Hello Sleep: The Science and Art of Overcoming Insomnia Without Medications, available for purchase at your favorite book retailer.
