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

What a future we will live in
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."

The things I relied on most this year: • Apple Watch • Cold plunge + sauna • Daily padel or strength training • Pod 5 Ultra • Low inflammation diet and creatine • Normatec boots • Bloodwork and MRIs • My Eight Sleep digital twin that simulates and analyzes all my

Delivering aid, protecting children, offering hope—just a snapshot of the work we've done this year, with your support. When disasters struck and resources shifted, we remained steadfast in our goal of reaching the most vulnerable—and we'll continue to do so in the year to come.

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

The habits that make you stand out at 21 are often the same ones that keep you sharp at 50. Great conversation @MichaelOvitz @FoundersPodcast
How to make yourself standout: “It's 1969. I'm 21 years old. I graduated UCLA in three years while working at Fox 60 hours a week, loving every second of it. Drop out of pre-med to finish degrees in psychology and business. Look for the job that I think can educate me the

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

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:

"If you're fundraising for a unique idea, it's so important to spend time finding investors who actually believe in what you’re doing. That's more than half the battle."
I asked @eightsleep co-founder @m_franceschetti how to fundraise for a hardware company: "The first three rounds were really hard for us. We raised a small friends and family round. Then we got rejected by YC twice before getting in. We were able to raise $6 million at demo

.@eightsleep Co-founder @m_franceschetti on why hardware has stronger moats than software:. "In the early days, you're obviously at a disadvantage. But if you cross the chasm, you have much more defensibility. You're in a better position because you already went through a pain

Every Dimitra Protocol transaction consumes $DMTR. When governments, cooperatives, or enterprises use our AI and blockchain tools, those activities generate real demand for the token. Utility drives growth, and adoption fuels the cycle.

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.
New @ThePeelPod with @m_franceschetti I've been paying more attention to consumer health the past few years, and Eight Sleep created one of the original breakout consumer health products in 2014. They've since built a business that’s put up hundreds of millions in revenue, and
