Join us for today's podcast with Dr. Daniel Gartenberg, CEO of SleepSpace. Dan brings his 15 years of experience with sleep technology and shares what he knows in this jam packed episode all about how to level-up your sleep! Listen in to learn about optimizing sound, light, vibration, and more on Dan's journey to improve insomnia and sleep apnea. Join me as I delve into the revolutionary world of sleep improvement - it's sure to transform the way you approach your nightly slumber. Dan is a sleep scientist with a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology, currently the CEO of SleepSpace, and an adjunct professor at Penn State University in the Department of Biobehavioral Health. With 15 years under his belt developing sleep technology, and a resume working for artificial intelligence groups in the Navy and the Air Force, Dan has garnered more than $3.5 million in grant awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Aging. The purpose? To address a problem that affects not just the developed world, but billions around the globe: Poor sleep quality. https://bengreenfieldlife.com/sleepspace Dan's stated Magnus-opus is to develop the ultimate connected smart bedroom where natural remedies like sound, light, and vibration are used synergistically with various wearables and‘nearables’ (small, wireless devices in the room not attached to you) to diagnose and treat sleep disorders and improve the sleep quality of every human being. His current focus is on improving insomnia and sleep apnea outcomes, which contribute to Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease. The digital health technology created by Dan and his team is currently not for medical use, meaning it is available to the general public. People like you or me can access direct interventions on a nightly basis, including the best meditations to stop a racing mind, a network of coaches who specialize in all aspects of sleep, and the Dr. Snooze AI which features in the SleepSpace app. As the inventor with five patents, Dan is a highly innovative creator with a superior understanding of sleep disorders to the vast majority of other experts. With over 10 peer-reviewed publications, and a viral TED TALK with over 5 million views, Dr. Gartenberg and his technology have been featured on the Today Show, Gizmodo, NY Times, The Washington Post, Quartz, NPR, Pop Sugar, CNN Business, Reuters, Get The Gloss, Marie Claire, Discoveries and Breakthroughs Inside Science, DC Inno, APA Magazine, Apartment Therapy, Sleep Review Magazine, Entrepeneur.com, Business Insider, Lonely Planet, and App Picker.
