Eric Malzone sits down with Dr. Nicole Moyen, Senior Director of Science and Clinical Research at Eight Sleep, to talk about what close to 200,000 members and millions of nights of sleep data actually show. She walks through Eight Sleep's women's sleep research, including a 56% average drop in hot flashes for postmenopausal women and data from over 100 pregnancies tracked from before conception through six months postpartum. They also get into why most people lose interest in their wearable around the three-month mark, how GLP-1s affect sleep, why sleep apnea is harder to solve than it looks, and how trainers can start asking clients about sleep.

Dr. Nicole Moyen is Senior Director of Science and Clinical Research at Eight Sleep, a former D1 soccer player with a PhD from Stanford who previously worked in research at Fitbit and WHOOP.
