Summary
Shane Farmer is the founder of Dark Horse Rowing. He's a rower, a 4X CrossFit Games athlete, former gym owner, Concept2 Master Instructor and has made his career de-mystifying rowing for non-rowers. He's married with two kids and has 13 chickens and an orchard. He loves soil regeneration, permaculture, and testing himself regularly at new and interesting forms of fitness.
We go way back and hear how Shane first started rowing, almost by accident, and then was exposed to CrossFit as his rowing team’s exclusive strength and conditioning program. Fast forward to post-college life and Shane has turned his passion for rowing into a business instilling a love of indoor rowing in non-rowers and rowers alike.

We track lots of things on the daily, but our sleep is what we really nerd out on with our Oura rings. And tracking it has proven to us that changing the temperature of your sleep changes everything about your sleep metrics. If you want more deep sleep, more REM sleep, better HRV and RHR scores, try thermoregulation with one of Sleepme’s life changing products. And if you don't track your sleep metrics, you'll be able to tell the difference by how you FEEL each morning.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, I'm Dr. Kelly Starrett. |
| 0:06.8 | And I'm Juliette. |
| 0:08.3 | And you're listening to The Ready State Podcast. |
| 0:15.6 | This episode of the Ready State podcast is brought to us by our friends at Sleep Me. |
| 0:26.9 | And what I wanted to talk about today is imagine a world where you wake up every morning and you are not tired because you've slept well. Imagine that. |
| 0:31.2 | What's cool now, if you're listening to this, chances are you maybe are looking or doing a deep dive |
| 0:36.2 | in your sleep. We use aura rings. We're sort of |
| 0:38.8 | interested in seeing the ramifications of the day's inputs. Did I walk enough? Did I have a drink? |
| 0:44.0 | Did I have caffeine too late? But I challenge you to look at your sleeping temperature. |
| 0:50.9 | We regularly see that people struggle to change their HRV, the resting heart rates, but there's a lot |
| 0:57.2 | of manipulation that can go on by adjusting the temperature of your bed. And sleep me does that. |
| 1:03.8 | I mean, I sleep better. I don't wake up so hot anymore. Thank goodness. Yeah. But it's been |
| 1:09.0 | remarkable to see the impacts of just a few degrees on the quality of my |
| 1:12.5 | sleep. I love it. Yeah, just the amount of deep sleep and REM sleep we're getting and how good we |
| 1:16.4 | feel when we wake up and we don't have to. It's not about how good you feel when you wake up and |
| 1:20.6 | what you do with that. It's literally about what the metric says, can I have a good day? Let me ask my ring. |
| 1:26.9 | But honestly, folks, this has changed our |
| 1:30.6 | lives. And if you're already tracking this and looking at your sleep, this is another way to level |
| 1:34.1 | up. Yeah. So if you're ready to wake up like us and not feel tired, head over to sleep. |
