BC102: Lasse Leppäkorpi | Beddit - Achieve More With A Great Night's Sleep

This week’s guest is Lasse Leppäkorpi, the CEO and founder of Beddit, the world’s leading sleep app.  Beddit’s sleep analysis is based on ballistocardiography (BCG), which is the measurement of the mechanical cardiac activity from the platform supporting the body.  Each time the heart beats, the acceleration of blood generates a mechanical impulse that can be measured and analyzed with a sensitive-enough force sensor, such as the Beddit Sleep Tracker.  Throughout the night, Beddit picks up each individual heart beat and respiration cycle while separating other body movements from them.  Their advanced analysis and machine-learning algorithms adapt differently to each body type and provide detailed sleep information each morning. You will achieve more with a great night's sleep and you can easily make your bed a smart bed with Beddit.  Leppäkorpi discusses the science of sleep and what athletes need to know for the most undervalued aspect of optimal performance.
