[00:30] What Inspired Tara To Start Studying Sleep
In 2007, when Tara lost her youngest son, the grief and depression really took away all of her sleep.
If you lose enough night to sleep, you really are cognitively drunk.
Eventually, Tara dove deep into sleep research and figuring out how to get the best sleep possible.
Tara realized that quality sleep enhances overall health and wellness, giving you focus on taking the day.
[04:20] If You Get Less Than Six Hours of Sleep Over Two Weeks, It Is The Same As Being Legally Drunk
You can go without food longer than you can without sleep.
Your body functions better when fasting. However, the same does not go for sleeping.
Sleep is fundamental. If you don’t sleep for ten days, you can die.
We need sleep for longevity and health. If you don’t sleep, you won’t function well.
Your chances of getting in a car crash are exactly the same if you’re sleep-deprived or drunk.
[09:20] True or False: You Should Get Eight Hours of Sleep Every Night
The myth that you need eight hours of sleep is one of Tara’s favorite ideas to debunk.
Eight hours of sleep actually came about in the Industrial Revolution.
Once we fall asleep, this is where some of the magical parts of the environmental factors like temperature can really come into effect.
Our neurons are triggered by a change of temperature. You get the most amount of deep sleep when your body is two degrees cooler.
The probability of getting the deepest sleep is in that first half when it's getting cooler.
98% of your weight loss is going to happen during deep sleep.
[18:35] Chilisleep: Innovative Layers Make The Difference
Our bodies want to get cooler in the first half of the night. That way, you unlock the most amount of deep sleep.
So, you need to help your body drop two degrees in its core temperature.
The Chilipad will go under your sheets. It will help pull the heat off of you.
Utilizing hydropower, the sleep system operates between 55-115°F, helping encourage quality, restorative sleep.
[23:45] Snuggle Up Sweat Free With chiliBLANKET
A weighted blanket can release serotonin and reduce anxiety.
We're born from a very tight little womb. We bundle babies to calm them.
Those instincts of cuddling and feeling protected release serotonin.
The weighted blanket can calm anxiety and help you sleep at night.
That’s why Tara sells her very own weighted blanket. The chiliBLANKET™ is the only hydro-capable cooling weighted blanket that can also be paired with an OOLER or Cube control unit. Learn more about it here: http://ketokampchilipad.com/

[26:20] Why Tara Says “You Need To Be The CEO of Your Own Body”
Insurance and healthcare in America are designed to treat sick people.
You have to own your own wellness.
No one else is going to know us as we know us.
It's our responsibility to take ownership over our bodies and our health.
[30:30] Tracking Your Sleep: What You Need To Know
Tara is a fan of the Oura ring.
However, with any sleep tracker, their efficacy, especially on the sleep states, isn't awesome yet.
Wearables are on your body, so their ability to track your sleep states isn't as high.
Deep sleep isn’t the most important stage. Instead, you should focus on a balance.
During REM, there's a really fundamental part that helps with working through our emotions and filing memories.
[39:10] Ice Baths Before Bed: Will It Improve Your Sleep?
A twenty-minute ice bath is phenomenal for your sleep.
Go to bed an hour after your ice bath.
If you’re in a hotel room, cold cycling can reset your circadian rhythm.
Putting people in that pre-hypothermic state will reset our clock.
“Everything in the universe responds to cold cycling.” -Tara
