Because was that where it started? And maybe take our listeners through the role of temperature in sleep and then how you provided a solution for that.

Yes, temperature is one of the most important signals that our brains receive to let our bodies know that it's time to go to bed.

It's time to think about it.

And that signal then is also critical for when it's time to wake up.

So temperature and light are really important factors there.

And what has happened in modern life is that we live in environments that are temperature controlled to a certain extent, but also have a lot of products around us while we're sleeping that are absorbing our very hot body temperature.

And so all of these modern environments are not allowing us to go through the natural temperature regulation that our bodies would go through, right? We are like nature, we should be regulated.
