Quick word about eight sleep, which my family and I are genuinely enjoying and using every day now. The frame that fits today's conversation with Dr. Emanuel is that longevity is not about adding decades on the back end. It's about how well you function in the decades that you actually have. And the lever that gets pulled every single night, whether you pay attention to it or not, is sleep. Eight Sleep makes a product called the Pod, which is a cover that goes on top of your existing mattress. It heats and cools each side of the bed independently and automatically anywhere from 55 to 110 degrees. It tracks your heart rate, HRV, respiratory rate, sleep stages, all without having to wear something like a ring or a watch. Eight Sleep says the Pod is built on over a billion hours of sleep data. Their own clinical studies suggest users can get up to 34% more deep sleep. and fall asleep up to 44% faster. Individual results vary. And the usual caveats apply here. The pod is not a medical device. Here's why I keep coming back to it, though. Most of what gets sold to us as longevity tech is asking you to do something. You got to take something, track something, optimize something. The pod is the rare thing that just does the work while you're asleep. And the way it tracks how you're sleeping is so elegant and so informative. Plus, it's super comfortable. Plus, it's nice to have the bed nice and cold so that your core body temperature drops so that you're getting the sleep you need. Plus, it can actually warm you up in the morning if you set it that way. Plus, it will raise your head if you're snoring. There's a lot going on, a lot to love here with this product. You can use the code DanHarris at 8sleep.com slash DanHarris for up to $350 off the Pod 5. There's a 30-day at-home trial if you don't love it.
