Summary

If you’ve been listening to this show, you’re already familiar with the importance of sleep on your health and wellbeing. And I have to say, of all the hacks, supplements, and sleep trackers out there, nothing has been able to improve my sleep more than the products made by Sleepme Inc. Tara and Todd Youngblood are visionary leaders in sleep health. They are the owners of Sleepme Inc. and the minds behind revolutionary cooling mattress pads, The Cube (formerly Chilipad), OOLER, and Dock Pro sleep systems. In this conversation, we discuss why men and women almost always prefer different sleeping temperatures, the genetics behind being a morning person (or not), the history of midday nappers, how the eight-to-five grind disrupts our natural sleep cycles, and how blue blockers – like my Gilded brand – can help optimize your rest.

In the likely event that, by the end of this episode, you find yourself itching to get yourself a Dock Pro, visit lukestorey.com/dockpro and use code LUKE10 for 10% off the Dock Pro of LUKE22 for 22% off their other products.

  • How independent temperature control can improve relationships
  • Why hormones affect sleeping temperature
  • Our biological sleep switch and how to flip it

27:04 — All About Chronotypes

  • The history of midday napping and how the eight-to-five broke it
  • Balancing REM sleep with deep sleep
  • The myth of eight hours of sleep
  • We’re designed for more flexible sleep

35:08 — What You Can Do To Improve Your Sleep

  • Turning feedback into actions
  • Adjusting your temperature when you break out of your sleep routine
  • Keeping your sleep on track while you travel
