Magali Tocanne
Sleep specialist, Magali Tocanne transforms sleep into a performance lever. Conferences and workshops to restore energy, focus, and resilience to teams.
After more than 18 years in digital marketing within large groups, I underwent a radical career change: one that led me to the heart of sleep science. Today, I support companies and adults who want to make sleep a true performance lever. As a sleep coach, certified in somnopédagogie™, I rely on the latest data in chronobiology, neuroscience, and sleep medicine to design conferences and workshops that truly change behaviors. My approach is based on two pillars. First, scientific rigor: every piece of content is grounded in validated studies. No myths, no miracle recipes. Just science, made accessible. Secondly, the practical aspect: years of coaching adults on their sleep difficulties have taught me what really works, in real life, with real professional constraints. In the workplace, I approach sleep as what it truly is: a tool for energy management. Chronobiology teaches us that our alertness, creativity, and decision-making capacity are not linear throughout the day. Understanding these rhythms is learning to use them. To perform differently. To last. My experience in large groups gives me a direct insight into the realities of the professional world: the pressure of schedules, too-short nights, decision fatigue. I speak the same language as my interlocutors. I also explore performance in the digital age: how our technological habits disrupt our biological rhythms, our sleep, and our energy. A topic I co-address in the podcast La Tech à l'Envers, dedicated to an informed use of new technologies. My background is atypical. My approach is rigorously scientific. And my conferences are resolutely useful.

Digital Overload and Sleep: How to Find Balance
The Paradox of Performance We want to be faster, more creative, more efficient. Yet, we sacrifice the first lever of sustainable performance: sleep. This conference offers a scientific and operational insight to reconcile professional demands and biological balance. We will first explore the science of sleep: its vital role in “brain cleaning,” memory consolidation, emotional regulation, physical recovery, and immune support. We will decode its functioning — 90-minute cycles, biological clock, sleep pressure — to understand why cutting our nights weakens our decisions and creativity. Then, we will learn to know our own “hardware”: chronotypes, genetic needs, individual rhythms. Because one does not manage performance against biology. Next, we will analyze digital interference: - the biological conflict (artificial light vs internal clock), - the psychological conflict (hyperstimulation vs mental calming). Finally, it’s time for action. A pragmatic “crest line” to protect one’s energy: concrete strategies in the morning, during the day, in the evening, at night, and even on the weekend. My experience as a coach and sleep expert allows me to rely on practical cases. Objective: to make sleep a sustainable competitive advantage — for oneself, for the team, for the organization.
Between Wakefulness and Sleep, the Art of Surfing on Your Energy Waves
Sleep is not a break: it is a strategic lever for performance. Physiologically, it ensures physical recovery, consolidates memory, enhances brain plasticity, regulates emotions, and supports executive functions (creativity, flexibility, decision-making). The 90-minute cycles alternate between deep sleep — restorative — and REM sleep — key to emotional processing and innovation. Two systems regulate it: the circadian rhythm (light, melatonin, cortisol) and the homeostatic pressure or sleep pressure (adenosine). Needs vary according to age, genetic profile, and chronotype. In a professional environment, quality sleep promotes mental clarity, emotional stability, smooth cooperation, and reliable decisions. Conversely, lack of sleep impairs attention, working memory, and judgment; in the long term, it impacts health, performance, and safety. Understanding one's sleep profile (short/long) and chronotype (morning, intermediate, evening) allows for aligning tasks and energy peaks: analyzing when the mind is clear, creativity during cognitive opening phases. Finally, preserving sleep involves regulating stress and hyperconnectivity, stabilizing rhythms (light, temperature, regularity), and integrating regulation practices (breathing, short naps). For oneself, the team, and the organization, sleep becomes a tool for collective intelligence and sustainable performance.
