Sleep & Travel Optimization
Restore deep, restorative sleep, recalibrate your circadian rhythm, and maintain peak performance across any time zone with science-based protocols.

A comprehensive approach to restorative sleep
Sleep Analysis & Assessment
Meaningful sleep optimization begins with precise measurement. We go beyond simple sleep diaries to evaluate the full spectrum of factors influencing your rest: sleep onset latency, sleep architecture (the ratio of deep, REM, and light sleep stages), nocturnal awakenings, breathing patterns, and sleep environment variables including light, temperature, and electromagnetic exposure. When clinically indicated, we coordinate home sleep studies to rule out obstructive sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome.
- Validated sleep quality questionnaires (PSQI, ESS)
- Sleep architecture and stage analysis
- Circadian rhythm phase assessment
- Environmental and behavioral evaluation
- Home sleep study coordination when indicated
Circadian Rhythm Optimization
Your circadian clock governs far more than when you feel sleepy. It orchestrates hormone release, body temperature, metabolism, immune function, and gene expression across a twenty-four-hour cycle. When this master clock is misaligned, whether from irregular schedules, excessive evening light exposure, or poor meal timing, the downstream effects touch every system in the body. We use strategic light therapy, precisely timed melatonin dosing, meal timing protocols, and temperature manipulation to resynchronize your circadian rhythm with your desired schedule.
- Morning and evening light exposure protocols
- Precision melatonin timing and dosing
- Chrono-nutrition and meal timing strategies
- Core body temperature regulation techniques
- Evening wind-down and blue light management
Jet Lag Management
For patients who cross multiple time zones regularly, jet lag is not a minor inconvenience but a chronic physiological stressor. Repeated circadian disruption is associated with increased cortisol, impaired glucose metabolism, weakened immunity, and accelerated cognitive aging. Our jet lag protocols begin days before departure with strategic light exposure shifts, melatonin timing adjustments, and sleep schedule modifications. We provide in-flight hydration and supplement protocols and post-arrival strategies to compress adaptation from days to hours.
- Pre-travel circadian pre-shifting protocols
- Eastbound vs. westbound adaptation strategies
- In-flight hydration, movement, and supplement timing
- Post-arrival rapid re-entrainment plans
- Frequent flyer maintenance programs
Travel Wellness & Recovery
Frequent travel imposes cumulative stress on the body beyond jet lag alone. Cabin pressure equivalent to six to eight thousand feet of altitude, recirculated air with low humidity, disrupted eating patterns, and prolonged immobility all degrade immune function, hydration status, and metabolic health. We build comprehensive travel wellness protocols that address immune resilience with targeted supplementation, maintain hydration and electrolyte balance, provide portable nutrition frameworks, and include stress management strategies to keep you performing at your best regardless of where your schedule takes you.
- Immune resilience supplementation protocols
- Altitude and dehydration countermeasures
- Portable nutrition and meal planning frameworks
- Travel-specific stress management techniques
- Post-travel recovery and readaptation plans

Stanford-Trained Surgeon & Functional Medicine
Dr. Rosing understands that sleep dysfunction rarely has a single cause. He evaluates the full constellation of factors that determine sleep quality, including cortisol rhythm, sex hormone status, thyroid function, neurotransmitter precursors, gut health, and lifestyle patterns, to build protocols that address root causes rather than mask symptoms with medication.
For patients who travel frequently, he develops anticipatory strategies that keep circadian rhythm resilient under the stress of time zone changes, irregular schedules, and the physiological demands of air travel. His approach transforms sleep from a vulnerability into a competitive advantage.
