The Energy Code: Sleep Smarter, Live Sharper

In a world wired for constant stimulation, it’s easy to ignore the most powerful system running in the background: your circadian rhythm. 👇

This SWC flagship session will uncover how your internal body clock directly impacts your sleep, energy, mood and long-term health – and how understanding it can help you optimise everything from your morning routine to your mental performance.

🗓️ Thursday 29th May 2025 | 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM📍 Working From_ Southwark, London

What to expect

Led by Hafiz Shariff, founder of groundbreaking sleep-tech company Owl + Lark, and Nicholas Witton, a Doctoral Researcher in Sleep Medicine and Circadian Health, this conversation will break down the science behind the 24-hour rhythms that govern your biology — and how to live in harmony with them.

Expect a practical, science-backed deep dive into:

• What circadian rhythms are and why they’re the foundation of health

• How your unique chronotype determines your energy peaks, sleep needs, and best times to eat, move and focus

• The vital role light plays in regulating your health and wellbeing

• How sleep deprivation affects your mood, creativity, decision-making and performance

• Actionable ways to boost alertness, restore hormonal balance, and align your lifestyle with your biology

This session is for anyone looking to feel more energised, sleep deeper, and function better — whether you’re constantly tired, struggling to wind down, or just want to maximise your potential day-to-day.

Meet the Speakers

Hafiz Shariff is a serial entrepreneur, philosopher and founder of Owl + Lark – the world’s first Circadian Fitness company.

• After exiting his first startup in 2018, Hafiz began a personal journey into sleep and recovery after burning out, despite a strong diet and fitness regime. What he discovered was a deeply overlooked science that’s only just beginning to hit the mainstream: circadian rhythms.

• His mission? Revolutionise sleep by combining world-class science, design and wellness thinking, without the gimmicks.

Nicholas Witton is a Doctoral Researcher and Daylighting Consultant at Owl + Lark.

• With a Postgraduate Degree and MSc in Sleep Medicine from the University of Oxford, he now studies how daylight and artificial light influence circadian rhythms, health outcomes and performance at The Bartlett, UCL.

• His research shapes how we design buildings for better health, productivity and wellbeing.

Together, they’ll guide you through how to align with your natural rhythm.
