What is your sleep stack?

by Luke Francis

Sleep stack - the set of tools & methods used to get your most restful sleep.

We often hear about the tech stacks that give our businesses a competitive advantage.

But the business wouldn't get anywhere without a sharp founder making sound decisions.
Without sleep founders perform sub-optimally. Andrew Wilkinson had a great tweet on this.

So what's your sleep stack?

What do you use to optimize your performance through restful sleep?

  1. 1

    I've been slowly building my ideal sleep stack (it can be expensive getting to my desired stack).

    Here's what I'm happy with at the moment:

    1. Purple Pillow (original)
    2. Purple Bed (original)
    3. Wim Hof method to calm down at the end of the night
    4. End caffeine consumption before 2pm

    That's it for now, but there are others I'd like to add:

    • Cooling weighted blanket
    • Cooling sleep pad (I sleep hot)
    • Regular sleep/wake schedule
    • End alcohol consumption before 8pm
    • White Noise machine (I've used these sporadically in the past and seen some great results, would love to implement more regularly)
    • Steady (healthy) diet (like, mediterranean diet)
    • Consistent night time routine
    • Regular exercise

    There's also a few things I have tried that have no noticeable impact on my sleep:

    • Sleep tracking apps (data seems inaccurate on most apps I've tried)
    • Sleep masks (just an annoyance to wear)
    • Meditation

    Similar to tracking apps I've never tried tracking wearables. From what I've read the data can be wildly inaccurate. I'm not looking for false signals. Anyone feel strongly about a wearable? Why?
