Master Your Sleep—Master Your Life: Top Tools & Power Practices w/ Todd & Tara Youngblood #405

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.   09:17 — What Went Into Making the New Dock Pro Dock Pro has twice the thermal capacity of Chilisleep’s previous products Mesh top with a urethane membrane that water flows through No tubes means 5X the surface area for thermal transfer Making the sound of the fans quieter  Nothing in biohacking can outweigh the value of good sleep The Chilipad’s deep impact on my own sleep
