The sleep choices you're making right now will determine your brain's health in your 70s and your 80s. Today, we're talking about something that affects every single person. Sleep. Sleep is so fundamental to life that it's built into every creature with a nervous system. So why is it that modern humans are the only species that are voluntarily cutting sleep short? The obsession with productivity in our culture tells us that sleeping less means getting more. Dawn just disrupted sleep reduces attention span capacity by 30%. That's nearly a third of your ability to focus gone after just one night. You're not going to have a perfect night's sleep every single night. Life happens. Even if you can't control exactly how much sleep you get every night, controlling when you sleep has massive benefits. This goes all the way down to what you're sleeping on. When I realized that we spend a third of our life asleep on our mattress, I started to understand just how much it actually matters. And that's why I'm launching the old Ultimate Snooze Mattress. It's completely free of harmful petroleums, foams, glues, and chemical fire barriers. 100% got certified organic cotton and wool from New Zealand as a fire barrier. This is a much safer, healthier, and more natural way to satisfy the federal regulations than using chemical fire retardants. Let's get to sleep.
