About Somnus
Somnus, the Roman deity of sleep, and his Greek Counterpart Hypnos, represent the powerful, inescapable and restorative natures of sleep.
​
Here at Somnus, we believe sleep is a fundamental pillar of elite performance and success. Modern Neuroscience and Physiology have come a long way to prove what the Greeks and Romans portrayed in their myths: our bodies and minds need sleep to function, and in a sleep-deprived world, improving our sleep is one of the most powerful competitive advantages. By enhancing cognitive and physical performance through deep and restful sleep, we can stand above the rest.
About the Founder
Nicolas Gauthier graduated with High Distinction from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor's in Arts and Science having majored in Neuroscience, Physiology and minored in Immunology. He is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Medical Physiology at the University of Toronto.
​
Over the 4 years of his undergraduate degree, Nic developed a passion for Science-based living: using the principles of biological sciences in our everyday lives to enhance performance, wellbeing and overall enjoyment of life.
​
In his constant pursuit of personal growth, he found that sleep was a fundamental aspect influencing how he felt, performed and saw the world. After thousands of hours of coursework, research, and applying the principles he learned to his life, Nic decided that the way he wanted to leave an impact on the world around him was to help people sleep well to ultimately perform and live well.
