You have those who say, no, it inhibits performance.

And those that say, no, it's

a matter of how exactly you perform that static stretching and which muscle groups and how you're doing this and how much time in between static stretching and performance.

But to leave all that aside, doing static stretching after some other form of exercise, and if not after some form of exercise, after a brief warmup to raise your core body temperature, definitely seems like the right way to go.

I'd like to take a quick break and acknowledge our sponsor, Eight Sleep.

Eight Sleep makes smart mattress covers with cooling, heating, and sleep tracking capacity.

One of the best ways to ensure you get a great night's sleep is to make sure that the temperature of your sleeping environment is correct.

And that's because in order to fall asleep and stay deeply asleep, your body temperature actually has to drop by about one to three degrees.

And in order to wake up feeling refreshed and energized, your body temperature actually has to increase by about one to three degrees.

Eight Sleep automatically regulates the temperature of your bed throughout the night according to your unique needs.

I've been sleeping on an Eight Sleep mattress cover for nearly five years now, and it has completely transformed and improved the quality of my sleep.

The latest Eight Sleep model is the Pod 5.

This is what I'm now sleeping on, and I absolutely love it.

It has so many incredible features.

For instance, the Pod 5 has a feature called Autopilot, which is an AI engine that learns your sleep patterns and then adjusts the temperature of your sleeping environment across different sleep stages

It'll even elevate your head if you're snoring and it makes other shifts to optimize your sleep.

If you'd like to try Eight Sleep, go to eightsleep.com slash Huberman to get up to $350 off the new Pod 5.

Eight Sleep ships to many countries worldwide, including Mexico and the UAE.

Again, that's eightsleep.com slash Huberman to save up to $350.

I'm guessing that most people are not doing five days a week of dedicated static stretch range of motion directed training.
