Sponsor: Eight Sleep

In this sponsor segment, Huberman describes Eight Sleep's Pod 5 — the latest version of the smart mattress cover he has personally used for nearly five years. He explains the sleep science rationale: falling asleep requires body temperature to drop 1–3 degrees, while waking refreshed requires a corresponding 1–3 degree rise, and the Pod 5's AI Autopilot engine manages this thermal regulation automatically based on individual sleep patterns. The device also includes features like head elevation to reduce snoring. Listeners are directed to eightsleep.com/huberman to receive up to $350 off the Pod 5, with worldwide shipping noted including to Mexico and the UAE.
