PhD, MPH

FL, US
Dr. Bob Dawkins is an expert on how to optimize your sleep for health and productivity.

I am a health and wellness specialist with a distinct emphasis on the role of sleep and its effect on your productivity and the quality of your life. My special interest and expertise is the science of sleep and chronobiology and how that should guide our lifestyles. Health is not about good and bad fats, it's not about the time on the treadmill, or a fitness tracker or a sleep monitor. It's about your Rhythm of Life. I will inspire your audience and I promise they will not fall asleep!


I earned my PhD in the basic medical sciences program at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, and my Master of Public Health (MPH) from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health. I have been board certified in Sleep Medicine for over thirty years and I am certified in Lifestyle Medicine. I have directed accredited sleep centers since 1987 working one-on-one with patients to optimize their health related lifestyle choices. I have been a college professor and I mentored and qualified nine physicians for the sleep medicine boards.
