We are no factory: we are delicate organic systems that can work nicely if they are respected and used properly. We do not crash because we don't do enough, we crash because we do too much. We continually push ourselves to work, deliver and build : we expect and are expected to produce a lot. We forget we are not factories producing tons of product every day. We are machines, biological ones, tailored by millennia of genetic history. Ignoring this, leads to crashes.

What is a proper schedule for our brain to learn and process information? Why can't we stay focused for 8 hours? What is the impact of sleep and naps? What is the impact of physical activity in our daily lives? In this talk we will see how much modern workplaces and schedules are disconnected from our biology, how we can change little things to avoid big crashes, work better and be happier.
