In many ways, I guess I've thought about this project in a way where, you know, when Amelia Earhart flew an airplane across the Atlantic. she demonstrated something that never had been done. And when the first person summited Everest, they also demonstrated something that had been done, the four minute mile.
And I wanted to, with sleep, I wanted to demonstrate something that no one had ever done, which is I wanted to demonstrate the world's best sleep score. So I did eight months of perfect sleep with a wearable. And so I basically just systematically went about doing hundreds of experiments, what produces perfect sleep. And I distilled it, and I had eight months of perfect sleep.

Now, for context, there are people who have these wearables. There are millions of people who have these wearables.

Many people have had these, and they haven't had a 100% score in their entire life. And so to get eight months continuously was a remarkable achievement. And so, yeah, after all these experimentations, I learned my chronotype. The time I do best at going to bed is 8.30 p.m., So other people do better at different times. You can do 8.30, 9.30, 10.30, 12, you know, choose your time.

It's not really important when, other than it's just consistent and you have certain life habits that precede that. So mine, I'm an early riser. I always have been. So my best time to go to bed is 8.30, but others do equally as well at 10 or 11.

I don't. And, you know, here's the funny thing is it's so painful to indulge. I just hate the thought. And so it has gone from a temptation to an abhorrence. I just can't even imagine doing it.

No. I mean, one, I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars testing food. I know that chocolate is packed with heavy metals. I know that it has sugar. I know that it has some junk ingredients. I know when it goes into my body, it's going to accelerate my aging. I know it's going to negatively affect my sleep.
