Science of Better Sleep: Regulating Temperature & Making Sleep Data Actionable · Eight Sleep · #134

Sleep is known as a common "pillar of health", yet is increasingly neglected in our modern society. Although technology has constantly been advancing, our beds have remained largely the same.

Stanford Professor Craig Heller & Matteo Franceschetti from Eight Sleep joins the podcast to discuss the science of better sleep.

How can we translate the "gold standard" of a clinical sleep environment to our own sleeping routines...our own homes? What sleep biomarkers make up a good night's rest? How important is body temperature for optimal sleep? 

In addition, we discuss:

• Sleep technology: The drawbacks of wearables, envisioning a future in which we can control and create our own optimal "sleep environment", & the power of thermoregulation.
• How measuring "quality" of sleep works in a home setting and in a clinical setting
• Importance of accessible & long-term health data: How did Matteo use his sleep data to predict oncoming illnesses?
