Tired but Can’t Sleep? What Your Brain Needs for Better Sleep | Dr. Shane Creado

Tired but still can’t sleep?

In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I talk with sleep specialist Dr. Shane Creado about why feeling exhausted doesn’t always mean your brain is actually ready for sleep—and what to do when you feel wired, tired, and unable to shut down at night.

If you wake up tired, rely on caffeine to get through the day, struggle to quiet your mind at night, or feel like you’re sleeping without actually recovering, this conversation will help you better understand what may be happening and how sleep impacts your brain, recovery, and performance.

Shane Creado, MD, is a double board-certified Sleep Medicine physician and Sports Psychiatrist specializing in sleep, performance, recovery, and brain health. He is the founder of Spyndl Sleep, author of the Amazon #1 bestseller Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes, and has worked with organizations including the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, NBA Players Association, PGA Tour Europe, and the Australian Football League. He also serves as a sleep consultant for Dr. Daniel Amen at Amen Clinics.

Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s one of the most productive things you can do for your brain, your recovery, and your performance.
