Todd and Tara are the minds behind revolutionary cooling mattress pads The Cube (formerly Chilipad), OOLER, and Dock Pro Sleep Systems, are visionary leaders in sleep health.

Since launching the Chilipad in 2007, Tara has spent over 10,000 hours studying the science of sleep. Applying her analytical skills from her physics and engineering background, her current passion is to shape the future of sleep-driven health by making sleep easy and drug-free.

If you’ve been listening to this show, you’re already familiar with the importance of sleep on your health and wellbeing. And I have to say, of all the hacks, supplements, and sleep trackers out there, nothing has been able to improve my sleep more than the products made by Sleepme Inc.

Tara and Todd Youngblood are visionary leaders in sleep health. They are the owners of Sleepme Inc. and the minds behind revolutionary cooling mattress pads, The Cube (formerly Chilipad), OOLER, and Dock Pro sleep systems.

In this conversation, we discuss why men and women almost always prefer different sleeping temperatures, the genetics behind being a morning person (or not), the history of midday nappers, how the eight-to-five grind disrupts our natural sleep cycles, and how blue blockers – like my Gilded brand – can help optimize your rest.
