Hvmn Enhancement: Biohacking, Health, And Cognition

Sleep is known as a common "pillar of health", yet is increasingly neglected in our modern society. Although technology has constantly been advancing, our beds have remained largely the same. Stanford Professor Craig Heller & Matteo Franceschetti from Eight Sleep joins the podcast to discuss the science of better sleep. How can we translate the "gold standard" of a clinical sleep environment to our own sleeping routines...our own homes? What sleep biomarkers make up a good night's rest? How important is body temperature for optimal sleep?  In addition, we discuss: Sleep technology: The drawbacks of wearables, envisioning a future in which we can control and create our own optimal "sleep environment", & the power of thermoregulation. How measuring "quality" of sleep works in a home setting and in a clinical setting Importance of accessible & long-term health data: How did Matteo use his sleep data to predict oncoming illnesses?
