0:00.0	This season of the Ready State podcast is brought to you by our friends at Uller, O-O-O-O-L-E-R, makers of my
0:05.9	favorite thing on the earth, which is called the chili pad. So when we are trying to dissect human
0:12.1	performance, aka, how do I just feel better and have enough energy when I get home at night
0:17.0	after a long day at work? One of the things we try to do is just organize and constrain as many aspects of our environment and behavior. So we don't have to make another choice. And that comes down for you to try to improve the density and the quality of your sleep. Really, that is turning out to just be the name of the game when we're talking about longevity. And yes, you can sleep in a dark place. Yes, you can get off your blue light.
0:39.0	All the things we've heard before. Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have a caffeine espresso chaser
0:43.0	at midnight. Lisa, a producer. But really, one of the big issues here for a lot of us is that
0:49.3	heat and the room temperature is a big deal. We recommend sort of somewhere between 62 and 68 degrees.
0:54.4	Maybe you're a little bit colder, a little bit warmer. But that 10 degree range is a sweet spot.
0:59.4	One thing that happens is like many of us, I basically need to sleep under a thunder blanket.
1:04.7	You know, one of those weighted blankets like your dog gets sketched out in the thunderstorm.
1:09.3	And so what I try to do is pin myself down under
1:12.8	an enormous cover, just like my wife does. And she loves that thing, and I love that thing,
1:17.4	but I become hotter than the sun. Enter the chili pad. And basically, the chili pad
1:23.4	circulates cold water underneath my sheet all night long to a temperature that is perfect for me.
1:29.1	And one of the things that happened is I stopped waking up, throwing my legs off, and a fit of sweaty, like, desperation.
1:36.2	I can't recommend this thing enough.
1:38.1	If you have a hot sleeper in your life, go to chili technology.com slash TRS.
1:43.3	That's C-H-I-I-Eology.com slash T-R-S for information on sleep and an amazing discount.
2:03.1	Hey, everyone. I'm Dr. Kelly Starrett.
2:04.6	And I'm Juliette.
2:07.0	And you're listening to The Ready State Podcast.
2:09.4	You've got it.
