When I think of technology for sleep, I think in two dimensions. In one dimension you have your phone with emails coming in, Slack messages, text messages, Whatsapp and so on that can give you anxiety. That type of technology is bad because it keeps your mind racing when you really just have to slow down. Our technology at Eight Sleep has a different concept; you don't see it - it's just there embedded in the bed and it does the work for you as it enhances your sleep without anxiety. We've just leveraged the power of sensors and machine learning to help your body recover faster behind the scenes. - Matteo Franceschetti Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE --- Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.

This is the same concept with sleep; if you sleep well and had a solid eight hours of good sleep, then when you wake up, hormonal changes with your ghrelin and leptin levels will take place. You will not crave carbohydrates, bad food, and most likely less food. The point is, this is not a placebo effect in your mind but your hormones justifying these behaviors. While instead when you are sleep deprived, and you want to try and compensate that sleep deprivation and lack of energy in your brain through food in particular junk food." - Matteo Franceschetti Quantity vs. Quality Of Sleep "The standardized quantity of sleep is 7 to 9 hours per day but the reality is that you need a certain percentage of deep sleep and REM. Light sleep is an inefficiency of your body to transition across the different sleep stages and that is where we believe that we can compress your sleep and let you recover faster. At the end of the day, good sleep is strictly connected with your quality. If you can get your 20-25% deep sleep and 20-25% REM, you translate that into minutes and that is what you really need. Deep sleep is more for your physical body and REM is more for your mind." - Matteo Franceschetti Let Eight Sleep Do The Work For You "What I love about our Eight Sleep technology is that you don't have to wear anything, you don't have to charge anything, you don't even have to change your habits. There is nothing you need to remind yourself; there are no obligations. You just keep doing what you were doing last night but this time your bed is marked and it will improve your sleep." - Matteo Franceschetti Links From Today's Show 341 Josh Clemente Joe Rogan Experience #1555 - Alex Jones & Tim Dillon 252 Harpreet Rai 357 Robb Wolf Why Technology Is The Future Of Sleep Expanding Our Lineup For The Future Of Sleep SleepFoundation.org - Eight's Matteo Franceschetti Interview Eight Sleep Blog | The Health Stack: with Ali Spagnola Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Eight Sleep Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Matteo Franceschetti Twitter LinkedIn About Matteo Franceschetti Matteo is the Co-Founder and CEO of Eight Sleep, the world's leading sleep FITNESS company.
