"Sleep is a fundamental need, but its contribution to health is still underestimated. Yet it influences virtually every aspect of our lives, from mental health to physical health, as well as safety, cognition, and quality of life. Being part of the HALEO team allows me to make a tangible contribution to a rapidly emerging field and to participate in a mission that is close to my heart: giving sleep the place it deserves among the key pillars of health."
