Summary

This week, we’re airing a few of our favorite encore sleep episodes. If it’s dark and cold where you are, cozy up and have a listen. And if you’ve ever felt groggy after what you thought was a good nite sleep, it might be that your deep sleep quality wasn’t great.

Muse is addressing this with its brain sensing headband and Deep Sleep Boost, a new feature that uses EEG-timed sound cues to help sustain slow-wave sleep, the brain’s most restorative stage. Check it out at choosemuse.com. It’s built into the Muse S Athena Sleep headband. Use code Untangle 15 for your discount.

Today we air an encore episode hosted by Ariel Garten, Co Founder of Muse. Our guest, Dr. Adrian Owen, is a renowned neuroscientist. One of his amazing discoveries is that individuals in a persistent coma could still communicate- and he went one step further - and could understand what they wanted to say. Fascinating! He’s also performed the largest sleep and cognition study in the world, and discovered what we can do to sleep better and improve our own conscious function.

Thanks to our great advertisers. Quince. Rula. Strawberry.me. Always grateful for their support.
