First 90 secondsSteven Bartlett· Host0:00
You guys, uh, if you listen to this podcast know how important I think sleep is. We've had so many conversations on this show about it, including the sleep doctor, we had him recently, and Matthew Walker twice. And as a result, it's become my top priority. But it's not just how long you sleep, it's how well you sleep too, and a big part of that comes down to your mattress. Helix, our sponsor, makes quality tailored mattresses and bedding customized to fit. They have twenty different mattresses and a range of mattress toppers that you can choose from. If you're not sure what your body needs to rest deeply, Helix has this sleep quiz that guides you towards the best mattress for your body and sleeping preferences. And if you change your mind, you're still covered by their one hundred and twenty-night sleep trial and can swap it out for another or return it all. And they also offer a limited lifetime warranty. And clearly whatever they're doing is working because a study they ran showed that eighty-two percent of people who slept on a Helix mattress had an increase in their deep sleep cycle. So if you wanna give them a try, head to helixsleep.com/diary for a limited time offer.
