Episode 190: Tim Rosa
In our fast-paced, always-on world, sleep often takes a back seat—until it starts impacting our health. Insomnia, night waking, and difficulty falling asleep are issues that plague millions. But what if there were a better solution than medication?
Enter Somnee, a revolutionary sleep technology that’s already being recommended by over 500 doctors across the U.S. to replace traditional sleeping pills. In this episode of the Thrive State podcast, I sit down with Tim Rosa, the visionary leader behind Somnee, to explore how it’s changing the way we approach sleep.
We also dive into the game-changing power of technologies like Eight Sleep, which regulates body temperature to optimize rest, particularly for women in menopause.
As we discuss this cutting-edge tech, it’s important to realize how longevity strategies and performance optimization go hand-in-hand with better sleep. When you sleep well, your body recovers and sets the foundation for both stress resilience and emotional intelligence in wellness, impacting everything from mental clarity to overall wellbeing.
The Sleep Epidemic and Why Solutions Like Somnee Matter
We are living in a global sleep crisis. The CDC reports that nearly 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. are not getting enough sleep. Poor sleep leads to a host of health issues, including weakened immunity, hormonal imbalances, and increased risk for chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Traditionally, the solution has been medication. However, sleeping pills come with side effects, dependency risks, and often don’t address the root cause of sleep issues.
Tim Rosa’s Somnee steps in as a natural alternative. By using neural stimulation to help your brain relax into sleep, Somnee is becoming a preferred recommendation by healthcare professionals across the country. This non-invasive technology not only supports better sleep but also contributes to overall health optimization, making it an essential part of any longevity strategy for people looking to enhance their long-term well-being.
The Power of Temperature Regulation for Sleep
Did you know that your body temperature needs to drop by 2 to 3 degrees for you to fall asleep effectively? That’s why Tim also swears by Eight Sleep, a bed-cooling technology that allows for customized temperature settings. This can be especially beneficial for couples, where one partner may run hot and the other cold. For women going through menopause, managing body temperature can be a game-changer, particularly when combined with a technology like Somnee that tackles both the neurological and physical aspects of sleep disturbance.
Temperature regulation is one of those overlooked but critical elements in performance optimization and nutritional science. A cooler body helps regulate circadian rhythms and improves REM cycles, which is vital not only for physical recovery but also for maintaining mental sharpness and emotional intelligence in wellness.
Simple Tips to Improve Sleep Right Now
Whether you’re ready to dive into sleep tech or just want some basic tips, here are some simple ways to improve your sleep starting tonight:
- Watch Your Caffeine: Caffeine stays in your system for up to 12 hours. If you’re going to bed at 10 p.m., avoid coffee after 10 a.m.
- Cool Down: Lower the temperature in your bedroom to around 65°F to help your body naturally prepare for sleep.
- Try Neural Stimulation: Devices like Somnee can help calm your mind without the side effects of medication.
