@caitlinner@yanabana@sleepdiplomat Thanks for the shoutout @caitlinner and would love to get you set up with a Somnee @yanabana! Startups can definitely create some sleep headwinds but Somnee honestly helps me to sleep great. DM if you want more info, thanks!
@BrianRoemmele 👍 Brian. The mechanism here isn’t that stimulation improves memory, it’s that deep non-REM sleep improves memory and stimulation improves deep sleep. People can get this benefit today, safely and non-invasively - https://t.co/nMvRAtQue7 ⚡️���😴
The @tferriss effect - a week after Tim and @sleepdiplomat discussed the science behind @stimscience on the pod, we are seeing a sustained 24% increase in web traffic and 167% increase in orders.
@tomstokes@tomeghale@ashleymayer We make one - https://t.co/nMvRAu855F. Love my Oura ring for health tracking, but Somnee is the only wearable sleep aid that directly improves sleep.
@justingordon212 StimScience: better sleep through neuroscience
Our electronic sleep aid, Somnee (https://t.co/auY13vkYuK) is the only headband to use personalized brain stimulation to improve sleep quality by 50% or more.

Wow! @JeffBezos embraces #givingwhileliving. Jeff epitomizes “think big” and I expect his philanthropic work to have an impact as great as his work at Amazon and Blue Origin.
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon who is estimated to be worth $124 billion, said that he would give away most of his money to charity, making him the latest billionaire to pledge to donate his vast fortune during his lifetime.

@vijaypande@daisydwolf@a16z@a16zBioHealth Great analysis! Sleep is the ideal starting point for DTC payvidor— built in consumer out of pocket market, massively underserved by big healthcare, and directly tied to every other aspect of physical and mental health.
If founders don’t sleep, bad stuff happens, in 4 studies:
1) Lack of 💤makes you generate worse ideas
2) Lack of 💤 makes you think the bad ideas you develop are good
3) Getting 💤 boosts your mood, upping the mood of your startup
4) Lack of 💤 lowers your entrepreneurial ability
Kanye's tweets exemplify why antisemitism is so hard to uproot: it’s a self-affirming conspiracy theory. The antisemite claims that Jews control everything. Then, if they're penalized for their bigotry, they point to that as proof. Heads they win, tails Jews lose.
I hear from @try_somnee customers every week that are *highly* motivated to reduce their use of sleeping pills. People really dislike those things and are desperate for safe, easy, effective alternatives
Study in JCSM found a decline in use of #medications for sleep disturbance between 2015 and 2018, with particularly decreasing trends in older adults. Findings suggest a possible shift in the ways #sleep disturbance is treated. https://t.co/saroyanZYl #sleephealth#hypnotics
With hindsight “consumption vs productivity” was lazy, fixed mindset framing. Digital consumption and digital productivity were both growing by orders of magnitude during the tablet boom.
Great thread! I accepted a PM job with Amazon devices (just Kindle at the time) the same week Apple announced the iPad. Friends thought it was the end of Amazon devices. ~9 months later Jeff greenlit the tablet program and we built the Kindle Fire.
