73 | Sleep Score Labs: “Changing the World, by Changing the Way We Sleep”

Have you ever thought about how many people are struggling with the same sleep issues as you? Many of us struggle with getting enough sleep. Even as the market continues to fill with everything from nose strips, to connected wearables and rings and even weighted blankets, yet we still somehow fail to find the right solutions for sleep. Why is that?

Colin Lawlor is the CEO of SleepScore Labs, a sleep technology organization located in Carlsbad California, with the mission of helping people achieve more full-filling lives and better long term help through their best sleep. In this episode Colin talks about the data trends around sleep that impact our health and wellness at the personal level, the basic components of how technology and sleep come together, all the way through to the future of sleep and how we can better live more productive and full filling lives as platforms for sleep emerge.

The SleepScore app is available for free, in both the App Store for Apple Devices and on Google Play for Android users.

Memorable Quotes:

[09:30] “Sleep is an activity we do every day, it's essential to every part of life. The challenge is that billions of people woke up this morning, tired all over the world, every time zone. There are millions of people waking up tired, and that has a huge impact on their lives, productivity, and long-term health. It's a huge issue.” -Colin Lawler
