About this video
Eight Sleep co-founder Matteo Franceschetti tells Brecka that sleep deprivation is ’the new smoking’ and recounts moving from athletics and law into sleep technology after his own fitness declined. They discuss temperature regulation during sleep, consistency of bed and wake times, breathwork and warm baths or contrast routines before bed, and Franceschetti’s vision of the bed as a preventive health platform using AI, biometrics and thermal imaging. He defines the goal as healthspan, not just lifespan.

- He presents AI-personalized sleep data as the future direction of Eight Sleep’s platform
- Brecka and Franceschetti agree sleep is a foundation that other health efforts depend on
