Dr. Andrew Huberman

I learned from you all in comments and feedback.

So if you have that, please keep that coming.

And last, but certainly not least, thank you for your interest in science.

Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.

I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.

Recently, the Huberman Lab Podcast hosted a live event at the ICC Theater in Sydney, Australia.

The event was called The Brain-Body Contract and featured a lecture followed by a question and answer session with the audience.

We wanted to make the question and answer session available to everyone, regardless if you could attend.

I also would like to thank the sponsors for the event.

They are Eight Sleep and AG1.

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

I've spoken many times before on this podcast about the fact that sleep is the critical foundation for mental health, physical health, and performance.

Now, one of the key things to getting the best possible night's sleep is to control the temperature of your sleeping environment.

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

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

Eight sleep mattress covers make it extremely easy to control the temperature of your sleeping environment and thereby to control your core body temperature so that you fall and stay deeply asleep and wake up feeling your absolute best.

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

Eight Sleep recently launched their newest generation of pod cover, the Pod 4 Ultra.

The Pod 4 cover has improved cooling and heating capacity, higher fidelity sleep tracking technology, and the Pod 4 cover has snoring detection that will automatically lift your head a few degrees to improve airflow and stop your snoring.
