Summary
Eight Sleep sponsored this podcast.
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn about the intimate relationship between performance and sleep and how you can hack both with a combination of tech and lifestyle.
Matteo Franceschetti joins the show to talk about high performance—something he experienced in athletics, business and life. He was a competitive athlete in his native Italy and a race car driver across Europe. He started two clean-tech companies on two continents. He also worked at the top tier of the international legal world
The one thing he didn’t excel at was sleep. So, he co-founded Eight Sleep nearly a decade ago to hack sleep in all the ways that fuel human potential, performance and energy.
Eight Sleep mattress and mattress pad technology redesign sleep with AI and machine learning models to track your nighttime biosignals. It’s a technology that’s catching the attention of professional athletes in sports like snowboarding, CrossFit, Formula One, and many more.

| 0:49.3 | So we're going to dive deep on sleep so you can show up the way you want in your life. |
| 0:55.5 | And you're going to hear things you haven't heard me say about sleep before, |
