#119 - Media and Sleep Product Ratings: You Look Like You’re The Best

Over the past few years, the topic of sleep has permeated the media landscape like few other topics in science and medicine. This has led to not only a fascination withing the public about the topic, but also a wild west-like race to financially capitalize on sleep products. But which products are better than others? In this episode, we will:

• discuss the ways in which the media "rank" various sleep products
• dive into the ways in which these ratings are determined
• contrast this with the relatively small amount of credible research available for these determinations
• understand how these awards and certifications are often bought or acquired through means other than a product's merit in the field
• stress that the only way to know if a product is going to work well for you is to try it
