The Stress of a Startup Demands Good Sleep

For Austin businessman Dr. Bruce Meleski, the importance of a good night’s sleep is something that most business executives overlook. “Business executives, especially those involved in a startup, work hard to make them work, ” Meleski said. “At the end of the day, they need a good night’s sleep to meet their work demands. To help business executives, their family and friends understand how to improve their sleep performance, Meleski, the owner of IntelliBED at RunTex, is working with some of Austin’s leading medical experts in sleep and neurological fitness programs, to set up the first Brain Wave Fitness Expo Nov. 14, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at his store located at 422 West Riverside in Austin.

Meleski said his expo will feature some of Austin’s leading sleep experts. Scheduled speakers include Dr. Ed Ortiz on sleep apnea, Dr. Kristi Cannon,  neurofeedback, Dr. James Vance, neuroallergy therapy and Dr. Beth Carpenter, sleep and nutrition. As well, Meleski, who has a PhD degree from the University of Texas in human biology, will speak on the “Bedroom of the Future.”

The IntelliBED at RunTexs executive said the Brain Wave Fitness Expo addresses a new trend in sleep wellness. “Sleep is often overlooked as a key aspect of a healthy lifestyle,” he said. “Yet, when people address issues such as their nutrition, the type of bed and when they work out, they can help themselves get a better night’s sleep.” Meleski adds that he plans on hosting more Brain Wave expos in other cities. “It’s my hope that we will springboard from this first Austin Brain Wave Expo into other communities so we can help everyone in America improve their sleep.”
