Ep146: Can Wearables Really Help Improve Our Sleep Quality? with Dr. Dan Gartenberg

OVERVIEW

How much do you value high-quality sleep? Have you purchased products that promised deep sleep to make sure you’re well rested at night?

Today’s guest is Dr. Dan Gartenberg. He is a sleep scientist with a PhD in cognitive psychology. He is currently CEO of SleepSpace and an adjunct professor at Penn State University in the Department of Biobehavioral Health. After developing sleep improvement technology for 15 years, Dr. Gartenberg and his team received more than $3 million in grant awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Aging.

He’ll also share how we can interpret the stats from our wearables in case we decide to continue using them. Tune in and learn!
