 Pretty annoying to get a perfect sleep score on my Eight Sleep but a poor score on Oura because it thought the couple hours I spent on the couch watching a movie was me attempting to sleep. 
 How dare you lounge about! 
 how do you handle privacy with these type of subscribtion services? 
 What’s the other sleep tracker besides the Oura? Apple Watch? 
 Eight Sleep is a “smart” mattress 
 Whoop 
 Whoop 🙌 
 Is eight sleep as good as the people they pay to promote it on podcasts say it is? 
 Yes it is 
 Seems like it. At the very least I know it has stopped me from sweating while sleeping. 
 Is sweating when you sleep a bad thing? 
 Yep, makes it hard to get long uninterrupted stretches of REM and deep sleep. Also it's gross to wake up in a cold soggy mess. 
 Ahhh okay I sweat when I sleep but I don't wake up in a cold soggy mess. And I don't have interrupted sleep. I'm probably fine then haha 
 I googled it and I still don't understand what eight sleep is. 
 Sleep score sounds stressful.  Guess I’m not competitive enough to care.   Hope you win soon and often. 
 I tracked my sleep for a few years with an Apple Watch but now have concluded sleep tracking is an EMF radiation shitcoin. However I’m also confident I understand the recipe for the best sleep practically realistic after years of passive researching. I also believe knowing your body’s signals without the tech feedback is valuable.
