Sleep is the most underrated performance (and life) enhancer.
When I was constantly traveling across time zones in the past, I really struggled with jet lag.
Flying, for example, from Japan to South America was brutal.
One of my doctors teamed up with Harvard sleep professor Dr. Steven W. Lockley to design personalized routines that completely eliminated jet lag — and I became a test person.
Here’s what worked for me during big time zone shifts:
- Shift sleep by a maximum of 1.5 hours per day before and after travel.
- Use blackout glasses before bedtime and a 10,000 lux lamp at wake-up.
- Cut all screen time 90 minutes before bed — blue light kills melatonin production, which is essential for deep sleep.
When preparing, for example, for the Australia time zone, I’d be waking up at 1am and running through Palma (CET) at 2:30am. People around me thought I was crazy.
But it 100% worked. I had zero jet lag for an entire season of global travel.
It was a complete game changer for my life and my work.
The context has shifted to venture capital, but the need to perform at my best hasn’t.
I still rely on the same mindset: many small improvements — like sleep — compound into big performance gains.
Yet founders and investors often treat sleep as expendable. Science says otherwise:
43% of business leaders sleep poorly at least 4 nights a week, undermining decision-making and emotional control (Harvard Business Review).
Sleep-deprived executives are far more prone to major mistakes.
The same Harvard professor I worked with has since launched Timeshifter, a circadian-based jet lag app (which I’ve invested in) — already with over 1.3 million downloads.
We don’t talk enough about this in business. But if you want to think clearly, lead better, and build long-term — start with sleep.
It’s where performance begins.

Dubai Has Won Real-Estate Tokenization Play
While regulators around world block real estate tokenization under 1930s laws…
Dubai created an entirely new asset class.
Asset-Referenced Virtual Assets (ARVAs).
✅ Backed by law
✅ Regulated by VARA
✅ Enforced by DLD
✅ Traded on licensed platforms
✅ Already live and oversubscribed
Last month, two Dubai apartments were sold out in minutes.
- 224 buyers.
- From 35+ countries.
- 70% were first-time property investors.
- Average ticket? Just AED 10,714.
This isn’t institutional capital.
It’s global retail - finally owning Dubai real estate.
With a crypto wallet. And a few hundred bucks.
Onchain. Fully compliant.
This is what the industry has been waiting for:
- No fake whitepapers.
- No VC pump dumps.
- No equity dilution.
- Just real property.
- With real rental yield.
- Accessible to anyone.
“Dubai didn’t try to bend old rules to accommodate new tech. It built something new - and that made all the difference.”
US failed to deliver tokenization at scale.
Dubai did it in 12 months.
VARA + DLD + top developers + licensed brokers = real infrastructure.
Founders, VCs, asset managers, family offices:
This is the only live real estate tokenization market on earth.
And it’s growing faster than anyone expected.
Dubai won the real estate tokenization play.
If you’re still waiting for clarity...
You’re not just behind.
You’re on the wrong continent.
As they say: "come to Dubai, habibi!"
So true 😎
