@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!

@yanabana You should check out what @aaronbromberg @sleepdiplomat is building at Stimscience’s Somnee brain stimulation headband. Sleep trackers & wearables are popular, but very few sleep tech devices available to improve quality of sleep. trysomnee.com

As a founder CEO, I want to get better sleep at night so that I have a clear mind to deal with the problems keeping me up at night. There’s the user story. Anyone building this please? 😅

@gbusch12 If f they can add a sleep apnea thingamajiggee i'll wear it to bed :)

@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 - trysomnee.com ⚡️🧠😴

@caitlinner @PsymedVentures 👋 @stimscience : Better Sleep Through Neuroscience. Our sleep aid Somnee uses closed loop neurostimulation to measurably improve sleep. trySomnee.com

The #NeurotechRevolution is here.🧠 At @PsyMedVentures, we're excited about neurotech and its potential to treat mental health. We created this map to highlight the most promising areas and companies in the field. We welcome suggestions to this ongoing project:

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.

As always my first impression upon arriving at #CES23 is the deep emotional feeling that I need a new TV

@tomstokes @tomeghale @ashleymayer We make one - trysomnee.com. Love my Oura ring for health tracking, but Somnee is the only wearable sleep aid that directly improves sleep.

@tomeghale @ashleymayer Products like the Philips SmartSleep or the old Zeo sleep tracker use EEG headbands to measure a subset of the signals used in actual sleep studies. An EEG-based headband would obviously be closer to gold standard than something that goes on your finger usa.philips.com/c-e/smartsleep…

I got an Oura ring in September and made some dramatic lifestyle changes in response to terrifyingly low deep sleep readings (how am I even alive let alone functioning??). Oura recently introduced a new algorithm and my deep sleep is…totally fine? 🤣

Don’t ask how people are doing, ask how they are sleeping. You’ll learn a lot more.

@justingordon212 StimScience: better sleep through neuroscience Our electronic sleep aid, Somnee (trySomnee.com) is the only headband to use personalized brain stimulation to improve sleep quality by 50% or more. Pre-A, lead in place, looking for mission-aligned follow on investors

FOUNDERS: If you're raising now, give the one-line pitch, link your website, and tag the investors you'd like to connect with I'll retweet some of these and try to give you some visibility + make intros here before the year is over

@EverettRandle I feel lucky to have lived through Pixar’s early years. Mozart level of creative excellence.

Pixar's first 10 films (excl. sequels) were: Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, and Brave. All absolute bangers/classics, no misses. Has there ever been another instance of such immediate+sustained excellence?

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.

@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.

1/We think the biggest company in the world will be a consumer health tech company. Four of the top five biggest companies in the world are consumer companies, and healthcare is one of the nation’s biggest industries. @daisydwolf @a16z @a16zBioHealth a16z.com/2022/11/11/the…

True for founders and their teams - sleep is a team performance enhancing drug. trysomnee.com

@paulg Cornell engineering looks pretty good by this standard - go big red!

In fact the recipe for having the most founders is simply to be (a) a great science and engineering school (b) in a place with lots of startups. The latter accounts for the difference between e.g. Stanford and CMU, not something Stanford does to prepare founders.

This ranking of universities looks roughly correct. The big mistake in the article is the claim that the higher ranked universities are better at "producing" founders. pitchbook.com/news/articles/…

A sleep expert describes the perfect conditions for falling asleep quicker

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

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.

@benjamingedan Nothing to worry about as long as you keep the choco supply flowing

My children consumed vast amounts of chocolate caliente and submarinos in Patagonia. I’m worried about withdrawal symptoms.

@Casey Casey we are a startup with Matt Walker (@sleepdiplomat the Ted speaker below) as an advisor. We invented a new type of sleep aid that uses brain stimulation to improve sleep duration. Maybe you should give it a try, shipping soon @try_somnee | trysomnee.com

he talks about how 6hrs of sleep causes all kinds of damage vs getting 8hrs.what if you cant sleep 8 hours? i have to work so hard to stay asleep for 6 hours. not an insomnia situation, my body just hates sleeep. im up, refreshed after 5/6 hours.
