Summary

Dan Gartenberg, Ph.D., wants you to sleep better, so he’s conducted research and developed technology based on the science of sound, light, temperature, and relaxation to help you do just that. “By more accurately measuring sleep, based on your sleep stage, there are ways of enhancing your deep sleep in real time while you're sleeping through sound or temperature stimulation,” he says.

Dan, aka Dr. Snooze, is the co-founder and CEO of Sonic Sleep and also an adjunct assistant professor at Penn State University. With a background in cognitive psychology and expertise in sleep, A.I., and preventive health, he has spent most of his career focused on improving sleep health.

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, you’ll learn:

why “sleep need” includes both quantity and quality;
how you can discover your “sleep age;”
what you can do to get more out of your sleep; and
which sleep hacks really work.

0:00.0	You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey.
0:16.4	Today's cool fact of the day is that I just got off 10 hours of flying and well, if you
0:21.9	can't hear it, my voice is a little dry.
0:24.2	But I'm going to do this episode anyway because it is going to be awesome and it's fun
0:29.2	to do for quite a while to share something new with you guys.
0:32.0	But that's not really the cool fact of the day.
0:33.2	I'm just explaining why I sent a little different.
0:36.2	The real cool fact of the day is that only 21% of people in the US get the recommended
0:41.3	7-8 hours of sleep each night, not that you really need to get that much sleep necessarily.
0:47.2	But in contrast, people in France sleep on average of 8.83 hours per day, which is the longest
0:53.6	country for sleep in the developed world.
0:55.8	Now there are studies that show if you sleep more than 8 hours a night, you're more likely
0:58.9	to die from all cosmortality.
1:00.7	So France, come on guys, sleep a little bit less, maybe they have the wine a little bit,
1:06.6	and you'll be okay.
1:08.0	However, it turns out some people can survive on much less, about 1-3% of the population
1:12.5	are short sleepers who need less than 6 hours a night.
1:15.9	An animal kingdom, a brown bat, needs almost 20 hours a day and a giraffe, which is obviously
1:21.3	one of my spirit animals, only needs 1.9 hours of sleep a day.
1:26.0	This stuff came from Michael Bruce, the guy who wrote the power of win and is also a former
1:33.1	guest on the upper radio.
1:34.4	But it's pretty neat to just look at the diversity of sleep that's going out there.
