Yeah, we've got a lot of data. That's for sure. The thing that people still struggle with the most is sleep. It's amazing how... I think it's 22% of people on Whoop get over seven hours of sleep. So you just think about that. Roughly 80% of people are getting less than seven hours of sleep. And I think sleep sometime in the last...

Five years became the new steps where all of a sudden people just realized that was an important thing to care about. And steps maybe in turn was a less important thing to care about in the grand scheme of things. And yeah, we've certainly benefited from people's enthusiasm towards sleep. But it's, yeah, it's super important.

That's the trap is people previously, if you ask them how much sleep did they get last night? They're like, well, I went to bed at 11. I woke up at six. I got seven hours of sleep. And then they realize after you do all the factoring of time away from this, it's five and a half hours of sleep. And, uh, Yeah.

So, you know, one of the things we recently did was update how we think about sleep where it's less just the total hours that you got versus how much you needed. And it's now also looking at sleep consistency, efficiency and stress. And so it's sort of a better way. It took us a while to get there, but we did a lot of research around what is quality sleep.

And one of the biggest things that shows up in the research is the importance of consistency, which is going to bed and waking up at the same time. And you and I were just talking about how hard that is in general. I mean, you, the nightclub promoter.

Yeah. So that's probably my worst metric on Whoop, in part because travel just nukes it. So for people wondering how it's calculated, like for the last, you look at like for the last four nights, how similarly was your bedtime and wake time? And if you travel over time zones, that of course factors into your consistency.

But essentially there's all this research just showing that if you can build a sort of continuity around bed and wake times, your overall circadian rhythm, your overall performance of your body... I mean, it's one of the key indicators we discovered when we built this health span score for, you know, overall health span and actually all cause mortality.
