I’ve been using Nap Mode on the Pod because a 20-minute nap can reset my whole day. This brings the same precision I rely on at night into my naps: the right temperature, the right wake-up, and real recovery. The data backs it: regular nappers show 2.6–6.5 fewer years of brain

Neuralink is aiming to restore (limited) sight to the completely blind next year. "Blindsight will enable those who have total loss of vision, including if they've lost their eyes or the optic nerve, or maybe have never seen, or even blind from birth, to be able to see again."

Looking at millions of nights of sleep, you start to see how different people really are. Each dot is a member’s preferred temperature profile in their first month; no two are the same. So we built our very own deep learning model that can predict a comfortable starting point

Your peak hours aren’t random; they’re biological. When I plan deep work during my focus window and train at my performance peak, I feel the difference in output. Those windows shift every day based on your sleep timing, quality, and chronotype. I use Performance Windows in

The advantage of small teams is simple: you can pick the best people. Everyone sees the impact of their work every day. That’s why startups can outperform big companies.

We looked at 1,700 nights of phone use before sleep. News content reduced REM by about 2%. That’s more than an hour of REM lost each week. Your body is trying to rest while your mind is still processing the world. High-attention content, no matter what it was, cut total sleep

The most effective people I’ve met ask very simple questions. “What problem are we actually solving?” “Why now?” “Who owns this?” You can run an entire company off those three.

Our R&D team just shared something surprising. It’s not what you watch before bed that hurts your sleep. It’s how hooked you are by the content itself. Even five minutes of attention-grabbing content can shorten your total sleep by 12 minutes. This adds up to 1.5 hours less

I like this framework. Level 1 is noticing a problem. Level 5 is fixing it and keeping the team in the loop.

I stole this idea and now use it with every single employee. It’s the best illustration I’ve seen of teaching someone to be high agency. It says there are 5 levels of work: Level 1: “There is a problem.” Level 2: “There is a problem, and I’ve found some causes.” Level 3:

I take naps so I can perform at my best. Many @eightsleep members with heavy training blocks and busy days do the same, so we built Nap Mode. Set how long you want to rest, get the right temperature, choose how you wake up, and track how each nap improves your recovery. Update

Nap Mode is here 💤 This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the little things… family, a full belly, and a mid-day nap that actually recharges you. ☑️ Set the timer for your desired nap time ☑️ Nap at the perfect temperature ☑️ Choose to wake with sound or gentle vibration ☑️

Thanks for having me @TurnerNovak Great chat at @ThePeelPod podcast about sleep, performance, what it takes to build a hardware company from scratch, and why so many European founders like me come to the US. We also got into AI, longevity, and the early days of @eightsleep.
