That Daily Green Juice Won’t Save You (Yet).
So you went on a juice cleanse, you’re exercising regularly, and now you can not only pronounce “ashwagandha,” but you consume it religiously.
And yet, you still feel like trash. Maybe it’s time to direct your efforts to the nighttime, because here’s the thing: throwing healthy routines at a not-well-rested body is like trying to pour water in a cup with holes in it. It just doesn’t work. As it turns out, sleep is the most crucial component of physical and mental health.
If you’re looking to live healthier, we suggest starting at the foundation. With the temperature-regulating technology of Eight Sleep, waking up on the right side of the bed is easier than you think. Now, at $2,000+, it’s not cheap. But we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping and recharging for our waking hours, so we’d say the investment is more than worth it. We’re not the only ones…
Catching Z’s, Not Catching Colds
Remember that saying your mom used to have, “sleep is the best medicine?” Well, we have another saying for you: “mom is always right.”
Getting a quality eight hours of sleep every night has a list of positive effects on the body the length of a CVS receipt. But here are some major highlights:
- Get sick less often: without proper rest, the cells in your immune system literally can’t do their job. Hitting the sack is like arming the mini-troops inside you with all they need to fight off germs. (Ever seen Osmosis Jones?)
- Sharper brain: sleep plays a big part in our learning and memory, and being in deep sleep is like housekeeping. Our brains remove toxins and embed memories and information we gathered throughout the day.
- Mood boost: sleeping well literally opens pathways in our brain to make better decisions and process emotions. Without proper sleep, those connections are severed. Just ask anyone who’s ever raised a child. They can explain that.
Unfortunately, poor sleep is way too common. And if you’ve ever just “tried harder” to fall asleep, you know it’s not so easy. Thankfully, the super-smart scientists and leading industry experts at Eight Sleep are making better sleep a top priority (and winning a slew of awards doing it).
Eight Sleep: As Cool as the Other Side of the Pillow
Eight Sleep has cracked the code on optimal sleep by focusing on something simple: temperature. A National Sleep Foundation study found that cool room temperature was one of the most important factors in getting a good night’s sleep, but based on all the cool side of the pillow memes out there, you probably already knew that.
Thing is, getting into the right sleep environment is not always as simple as cranking the AC. If you’ve ever gone to sleep cold and woken up sweating, you’ll understand: your body’s inner-temp fluctuates throughout the night, which can disrupt your sleep and even knock you out of rest.
Eight Sleep’s Pod technology automatically adjusts to the perfect temperature for you (from 55ºF to 110ºF) based on your environment, health metrics, and live feedback. Those body-fluctuations are addressed in real-time, keeping you cozy, cool and fast asleep. On top of that, the Pod technology has dual-temperature zones, so sleeping with your partner doesn’t have to turn into a wrestling match for the fan (or the blanket).
With this tech, it’s kinda like we’re living in the future. Sure, we still don’t have self-driving cars—although maybe after a night with the Eight Sleep Pod Cover, scientists will wake up with the oomph they need to make that happen.
So How Does It Even Work?
This revolutionary technology from Eight Sleep comes in two main products: the Pod Mattress and the Pod Cover. While the mattress comes with added layers of cooling, we really like the Pod Cover for the price and accessibility. All you have to do is throw it on top of the mattress you already have at home and you’re all set.
The smart-sensing technology tracks your biometrics, heart rate, respiratory rate, and more—and then lays it all out for you in an app. You just connect the Pod Cover to a wifi-enabled water tank called the Hub and you’re good to go. It gets to work mapping out your sleep cycle, and heats or cools dynamically throughout the night.
This works thanks to a proprietary algorithm that Eight Sleep calls “Temperature Autopilot.” (Sounds like we’re one step closer to those self-driving cars). It gets smarter over time, adjusting to your specific sleep cycle as it gathers data. And when you add in the dual-temperature zones, there literally is no “wrong side of the bed.”
Eight Sleep Came With Receipts
With the ability to track the changes in your sleep via the Eight Sleep app—like tosses and turns, temperature changes, or periods of deep REM sleep—you get to see for yourself how effective it is.
But the proof isn’t just in the pudding. This study found an average 32% increase in deep sleep with Eight Sleep. That’s 1/3 more body-power for fighting off germs, sharpening your brain, and easing the mind to get through your hectic days. And because Eight Sleep keeps you at the perfect temperature all year long, there’s no need to overload your energy bills with summer AC blasts or winter heat.
Even the professionals who need their body at peak performance trust Eight Sleep: 2x NBA Champion Danny Green, neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, and an entire F1 racing team all use and stand-by this tech. Although others still use Eight Sleep for, shall we say, humbler ambitions…
