Power Quotes From The Show
[click_to_tweet tweet=”‘At the end of the day, good sleep is strictly connected with your quality rather than quantity. If you can get your 20-25% deep sleep and 20-25% REM, that is what you really need.' – @m_franceschetti of @eightsleep ” quote=”‘At the end of the day, good sleep is strictly connected with your quality rather than quantity.

How Sleep Impacts Our Weight & Eating Habits
“When we workout, we feel good and thus tend to eat healthier just because of that feeling. This is the same concept with sleep; if you sleep well and had a solid eight hours of good sleep, then when you wake up, hormonal changes with your ghrelin and leptin levels will take place. You will not crave carbohydrates, bad food, and most likely less food. The point is, this is not a placebo effect in your mind but your hormones justifying these behaviors. While instead when you are sleep deprived, and you want to try and compensate that sleep deprivation and lack of energy in your brain through food in particular junk food.” – Matteo Franceschetti
