Eight Sleep Pod Leads to Improved Sleep Quality

The Pod can measurably increase your muscular endurance and aerobic performance, thanks to improved sleep quality and more energy.  We asked new Pod members to test their muscular endurance and aerobic fitness before and after sleeping on the Pod for 2 weeks. Participants (n=39) completed at least one of the following fitness tests: 1) push-ups, […]

Our recent clinical study indicates that the Pod may improve sleep quality and daytime functioning. To understand the Pod’s long-term effects on behavior and other subjective metrics, we surveyed 470 Pod 4 users at the following timepoints: before Pod use, and then after sleeping on the Pod for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and […]

Autopilot 2.0 to Autopilot 3.0 In a previous Eight Sleep study, we evaluated the sleep and cardiovascular benefits of using the Pod with AP 2.0, which provided three static temperatures overnight. In our latest study, we collected wearable data from 59 new Pod 4 users to compare sleep and cardiovascular metrics before and after using […]

As a part of our new Elite Autopilot tier, Pod owners can now upgrade their software to include Health Check, a new report that surfaces disturbances to breathing and heartbeats, and provides deeper insights into resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and breath rate trends – including outliers that could indicate illness. If you […]

These data are analyzed by sophisticated algorithms to accurately track your sleep patterns. […]

Many people struggle to sleep due to snoring, whether it be their own or their partners. While it’s obvious that loud snoring can be extremely disruptive to a good night’s sleep, snoring has also been linked to anything from sleep apnea to the common cold.

This summer has been hotter than usual (scientists say the hottest on record). For years, turning on fans or cranking up air conditioning have been the only sources of respite during sweltering summer days….and nights. This means people see big spikes in their energy bills, but it also means they may still struggle to sleep […]

The goal of this study was to test the efficacy of Autopilot 2.5 vs. Autopilot 2.0. As a refresher, our previous clinical study found that Autopilot 2.0 increases deep sleep by 10% on average, and improves heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) by 6% and 1%, respectively (see post for more information). Autopilot […]

One of the biggest culprits of poor sleep is sleeping at the wrong temperature. Your body follows a circadian rhythm that adjusts your internal temperature when it’s time for bed: generally your core body temperature decreases to help you fall asleep, and drops even lower throughout the first half of the night when you get […]
