Gary Brecka shares how tracking sleep metrics with Eight Sleep helped him optimize his routine. He walks through his actual sleep scores and explains what changes made the biggest difference in his rest quality.
I've really been focusing a lot on my sleep lately. The eight sleep has truly helped me improve my sleep scores. I can actually track my sleep scores. So three nights ago, I had 100%. Two nights ago, 93%. Last night I was at 91%. The data that I get from this is so helpful. I can see that I was a little deficient in REM sleep. I had plenty of deep sleep, which is where the brain detoxifies and eliminates waste and repairs and regenerates. Like the lymphatic system in the brain, called the glymphatic system, is active in deep sleep. Once when I get 100% sleep scores, I notice that it's when my quality and my routine are on point for me. I love these analytics because it allows me to really improve my quality of sleep. I see what happens when I don't wear a sleep mask or my room's not too cool. So now that I've actually got some data, I've adjusted the way that I go to bed, and I've developed a really good sleep hygiene routine. And the better I am, and the more consistent I am, the better my sleep scores. It's like waking up to a little reward every single day.
