Introduction to EMF and Sleep
00:00:00
Speaker
If you read a lot of articles about sleep, you know that no one has anything good to say about cell phones. It's the blue light right before bed. It's what we're actually doing on the phones, often doom scrolling social media or doing other things that are stressing us out when we're supposed to be winding down and getting ready to rest. But another concern is the electromagnetic field radiation coming from your phone, more commonly known as EMF. Now, I think it's fair to say that there is not any sort of research consensus around how yeah EMFs impact our sleep.
00:00:39
Speaker
There are some studies that draw correlation between close exposure to EMF and worst night's sleep. There are other studies that with control groups say they don't see a correlation. But one thing that nobody is saying is that EMF is helpful. No one's out there saying, if you want to sleep better, you should definitely have this electronic device six inches away from your brain blasting it with radiation. That's really a good way for you to rest better at night. No one's saying that.
Personal Phone Habits and Sleep
00:01:07
Speaker
And there is this growing public concern around DMF. Maybe I should say public curiosity around DMF. More people are talking about it or wondering about it. But of course, the caveat to all of this is that we as a society, maybe even as a human race, seem to be incapable of doing the obvious thing, which is don't bring your cell phone into your bedroom.
00:01:27
Speaker
right And I myself am guilty of this. I use my phone as an alarm to wake up in the morning. I think so many people have what seem to them very legitimate reasons for wanting to have their phone on the bedside table as they're going to bed. And so how do we strike a balance between these concerns about having a phone close to us and the realistic situation that we are not going to spend most nights of our lives with the phone somewhere else in the house? Well, one company that's working on this is LVAI.
LVAI's Solution: Radiation-Blocking Charger
00:01:59
Speaker
They've developed a radiation blocking phone charger that really strikes that balance between the tech habits that we know we're not going to change if we're being honest with ourselves and wanting to have that overall healthy wellbeing and good night's sleep. So to learn more about the concern around DMF exposure and what LV is doing about it, I talked to the company's co-founder and CEO.
00:02:28
Speaker
Today, I talked to SleepTech startup founder and LV.ai CEO Oded Brochi about his product that blocks radiation from your cell phone while giving you a better night's sleep. We discuss some of the potential impact of yeah EMF exposure and the results of LV's trials so far. I'm Jimmy Leonard. This is Swenio Labs.
00:02:55
Speaker
Oded, good morning. How are you? I'm very good. Thank you, Jimmy. Pleasure to be here. Yeah. Welcome to Swenio Labs. Glad to have you on the show today. So tell me a little bit about your background here. We're talking about sleep tech today. How does somebody get into that space? What's your story here? So I'm Oded Borsey. I'm the co-founder and CEO of LVAI. And I've been in the in the high tech and the startup industry for quite some time now. We're a team of three, three founders. We've been working together for a long time.
00:03:27
Speaker
and This is our second company now, and I'd like to say we prefer being on the good side. I mean, doing good, helping people live longer lives, helping people have healthier lives. In our previous company, we founded Safest Sound. It was actually a construction tech company. We built um and safe zones inside construction sites built on virtual walls. We'd alert workers of dangers in real time, and I think that's when we first um understood the value of doing something good. I mean, of really seeing the the impact that you can have on people's lives, and I think we kind of got addicted to it. And um yeah, and that's what we've been doing for a long time. And we like to say that we entered this world or the sleep tech industry through a worried husband, through a yeah worried the husband who cared about his wife's sleep and through our users. I mean, I've been doing this now this is our eighth year, this is the third year in this company. Yoni, um my co founder, he's a doctor of chemical physics. And one year, he just called me up in the middle of the night, like, just a call. And it's normally like this with us. But you know,
00:04:26
Speaker
We learned how to sleep throughout this company, but he gave me a call in the middle of the night and all he said was Lila, his wife. He goes, Lila bought a new wireless phone charger. She charges near her head. It can't be good. Let's see what we can do. And that's how Elvis started, a worried husband. It's interesting. I actually didn't know that, that some of your previous work had been helping to keep construction workers safe. That, I think maybe to somebody who doesn't know, that and maybe seems more consequential than sleep. Does it seem like these are are in a similar realm of helping people in terms of safety and health to you?
Tech's Dual Role in Safety and Sleep
00:04:59
Speaker
Yeah, when you assess the the value that you can actually give in life, I think you can look at it from two sides. There's the numbers. I mean, what actually happens to people, how many people are affected from something. And then there's the research of what can happen. I mean, there's both sides of to it. We hear a lot about what happens in construction sites. The injury and death toll worldwide is very, very similar. No one's managing to solve this problem. But when you look at sleep, the numbers are practically the same. The the the importance that we have, sleep, the amount of effect that it has on our sleep basically It's the core of of living a healthy life, whether it's of of also right say mind, body, and soul. Everything comes back to how we slept. Truthfully, with with a couple of years now in the bank with this company, ah the effect that we feel that we're actually having on people's lives is huge now. I do see a lot of similar ah you know parallel things here working in these two industries. For those who who aren't familiar with LV, tell us a little bit about the product. What problem are you solving here? What is it doing?
00:05:56
Speaker
As I said, I'll start with the problem because, you know, it's, it's easier for people. for The way I talk to it, it's easier for people to understand it. But the problem started just like everyone I think knows, or I like asking this, Jimmy, do you charge your phone near your head every night? Uh, yes, I do. And I feel like I, I walk into that question a little bit, but I think, you know, i'm I'm like so many people where it's like, my phone is my alarm. My phone is, is everything, you know, it um, if, if I've got, um, really anything that I need. to to do or read. um So much of that is happening on my phone. And um so I'll usually flip it into airplane mode and charge it when I'm going to bed. But yeah, it is very close to me when I'm sleeping. No, so I like to say we asked, we've been asking this question for quite some time. And I always feel that when we ask the question, people answer with a little bit of guilt. I mean, there's always an explanation to why they do something. um Yes, yes. That's normally like, okay, so maybe there's something to solve here. m Okay, the problem is,
00:06:55
Speaker
that once I'd say Yoni brought up the question of is it is there a problem of charging our film near our head, we took a deeper dive into the science and right off the bat what you see is that EMF or electromagnetic fields, basically any electromagnetic field generated, and That's emitted from a wireless charger and phone. It interferes with our brain's natural electrical activity. Basically, our brain is built out of a lot of electrical ah currents that move back and forth.
Impact of EMF on Sleep Phases
00:07:21
Speaker
an And any EMF around our heads, it interferes with the quality of our sleep. When we're talking about the effect that electromagnetic fields or electromagnetic radiation on has on our body, there's a lot of different, um I'd say,
00:07:33
Speaker
um discussions on what effect it has on our bodies, whether it's a health perspective, I mean, there's a lot of talk about cancer, the World Health Organization talks about the effect of electromagnetic radiation on our bodies. But at LV, what we strive to to solve is the effect that it has on our sleep. And when it comes to sleep, we're talking about a different kind of um of radiation level, we're talking about what happens when you charge your phone wirelessly near your head. Basically what we're talking about is just like 85% of us do, we charge our phones near our heads every night because we need them. At the end of the day, if we go back to the question of why do people i mean why why is there a problem here? So on one side of it, the problem is that
00:08:15
Speaker
yeah EMF interferes with our sleep. And the other is that we need our phones next to us. I mean, people can always put their phone outside of their bedrooms, and we like to say that's our biggest competitor. But at the end of the day, people um there's a question of need or want, but need to be available to their kids and to their parents. We need our alarm. We need our white noise machine. We want our phones to be next to us throughout the night. And that's, I think, where LD comes into play. when we understand that there's a connection between the effect on our sleep and our need to be connected to it. And throughout the years, what LV is always striving to do is to balance between tech habits and a healthy well-being. That's one of the most important things to us, to find this balance without i'd say interfering with people's sleep routine. If we look deeper into what basically happens throughout the night and how EMF interferes with our sleep, I'll walk us through what happens through the night to our bodies, what a sleep journey is.
00:09:10
Speaker
Each night, all of us, we, I hope all of us, we brush our teeth, we take a shower and we get into bed. And once that starts, we basically initiate the sleep process. The first phase is the transition between being awake and being asleep. In that phase, our bodies begin to relax, our um heart rate starts to decrease. And that's when alpha brain waves or alpha frequency brain waves are most predominant. Basically, our brain knows this is the time for alpha waves and that's telling our body to start falling asleep. Once we've finished this phase of our sleep, we move on to light sleep.
00:09:44
Speaker
In light sleep, our heart rate drops even lower. Our body temperature starts to drop. and We relax. We normally wake up. If we wake up, it's in that transition. And that's when the theta waves. and Basically, we transition from alpha waves to theta waves. but That's the second phase. We move on to deep sleep, and deep sleep is when we have delta waves are most dominant. It's when our body starts actually repairing itself from what it's what is had. And the fourth phase would be ram REM. I mean, that's a cycle. Those are the four phases. REM is the phase that most of us, um I mean, it's the phase that most people know because it's the dream phase and it's more talked about. And that's when our broad our brain like processes all the information that it has from the day. It's called REM because it's Rapid eye movement basically our brain is awake throughout room if you look at the sleep cycle you have the three first phases which it's called non when we're transitioning into sleep and in ram brain wakes up again and that's when we we actually managed to um and say make the most out of our day when it comes to information.
00:10:45
Speaker
Now, if you take these four phases, you start with alpha frequency brainwaves, you move on to theta and then then to delta, sorry. And in the fourth phase, it's when we have a mix of all these of all these waves together, we have beta, theta and alpha. Now, why am I saying all of this, basically? Our body knows how to modify when it needs to use which brainwave. Our body knows at which part of its cycle it needs to use each brainwave and how it helps our body. And the problem with yeah EMF is that it alters our brain's ability to control which wave is currently in use.
00:11:23
Speaker
And the two biggest effects that can be seen is that in our first phase when we start falling asleep and when alpha the waves are most predominant, what we see is that alpha waves aren't as strong when you use it when you have a charging film next to your head. Basically, you're hurting your ability to fall asleep. And the interesting part here is during REM sleep, that during REM sleep, when a broad D knows how to place which one of these waves altogether. And to combine all the three, it's not really combining, but to have all three working together. That's when an EMF, like any electrical field that's near your head, it's under two meters. That's a distance that there is an effect on it. That's when it actually mixes the ability, doesn't allow our brain to know which wave should be most the stronger at each point.
00:12:05
Speaker
and Basically
Mitigating Sleep Disruption with LVAI Charger
00:12:06
Speaker
hurts our ability to to make the best out of her sleep if you need to put it in the sentence but charging a phone near your head interferes with falling asleep and reaching around deep deep sleep like reaching the maximum out of your sleep and that's what i'll be knows how to solve. That's so fascinating. I wonder if it's maybe comparable to trying to fall asleep with all of the bedroom lights on. you know i I think that's something that probably most people would agree. It's like it doesn't work. It's incompatible. you're and It's not that you maybe physiologically can't sleep when the lights are on. We know we can. If we're exhausted, you know you can fall asleep with the television on or things like that. But
00:12:42
Speaker
I think most people would agree that when there is this extra stimulus that's interfering with the process, it is very disruptive to trying to fall asleep. Is is this similar? Exactly. it's It's practically identical. Even more than that, I can tell you that when you your example was perfect, because your example talks about light. And light is a certain wavelength that our bodies see as, I mean, when we see light, our body thinks that it's daylight. So we think that we're awake. So what just like when your example of having a TV screen in your room, that's blue light. Blue light makes our body think that it's supposed to be um awake now. So it's hard for us to fall asleep. Now, that's an example. It's very easy for us to understand because we have light in our eyes. But when it comes to yeah EMF, it's practically the same. We're talking about just a different wavelength and the effect that that wavelength has on our brain. It's exactly the same example. And it's an external sleep factor that interferes with our sleep. There's a lot of external sleep factors. and
00:13:39
Speaker
That's another one of them that's a little harder for us to to see and so to understand, but it's there just like light. So what are these symptoms look like physically? So if my brain is interfered with, with this extra yeah EMF and it's disrupting the wave patterns, how does that play out? Is that when I'm going to experience extra tossing and turning? Or maybe it's like, I i really am lying awake and can't fall asleep and I don't know why. um Maybe it's not till the next morning where I really feel the effects of poor sleep.
00:14:10
Speaker
Walk us through that a little bit. The real effect that you will see right off the bat is that you'll wake up not as i'd say rejuvenated. The real thing here is that and it won't allow our body to um to make the most out of the night and then we'll just wake up a little more tired. Now, depending on you know each body is different and depending on how you sleep with your phone. What the real effect here would be on um how much you and let's say output what you can actually make of your next day that's the effect that you'll feel right off the bat we have people that on the first day sleeping with an lv can say okay i have more i mean i slept better the question of ah will you toss and turn in bed. but Probably not you might have a little harder time falling asleep so what is lv.
00:14:51
Speaker
doing then. and If you look at the product to me, like it looks like a shield. Is that is that like a, ah is that what's happening? Is it just shielding you or what's what's it doing here? Well, there's a couple of things that LV does, but I'd say our, the real value right off the bat is we shield. LV is a sectorial shield. I'll i'll i'll take a step back. LV is a wireless phone charger. LV is a wireless charger, just like you have near your bed. We just, just a new charger that you'd have near your bed. The beauty is it sectorally blocks electromagnetic radiation, meaning we have like a safe zone that there's no EMF emitted towards there. But the beauty here and the the patent is that while we block or we mitigate all the negative effects that emitted from a wireless phone charger towards your sleep, we know how to allow the phone to continue to operate. Meaning your alarm will still work, your white noise, and you can still receive messages and calls, which I hope you don't receive throughout the night. But we allow the phone to continue to work while we mitigate all the negative effects.
00:15:50
Speaker
And to your question, yes, it acts like a shield. We have a combination of materials and design that block this um this effect. And that's, I'd say, the first value that we we entered with. if we take Let's say we build on that, your question regarding the light throughout the, I mean, looking at the screen or light in bed. Another value here is that we know how to block the blue light. Blue light is a um just like light, but it's a certain different wavelength and throughout the night are it's emitted from our screens when we receive a call or a ping or anything happens on our phone. And although our eyelids may be closed, blue light doesn't doesn't really care that your eyelids are closed and your body still sees this effect. And that's when our um circadian rhythm, basically our internal clock and messes up. So we also block that. And I think um
00:16:37
Speaker
One of the, the reason that we're all around the world with in biohack is because LV's hack is the effect that it has as as a sleep ritual. Just as you said that it's a shield, but it's a shield that you're still available at. So but we hold a lot of research and we work with a lot of focus groups. And right off the bat, we had people that were sleeping with LV telling us that they had more time and to talk with their partner in bed. And then they would say that they felt like they had more time to read. And one of the the nice things was that we had partners of people that were taking part in our research, telling us that the finally, um my partner wasn't on Instagram scrolling
Balancing Technology and Sleep Health
00:17:17
Speaker
throughout the night. And I think one of the nice things here is that putting your phone in LV, basically putting it to sleep,
00:17:23
Speaker
while knowing that it's still there is a new ritual that allows you to be fully in the moment fully falling asleep and in the world of biohacking and causing finding a nice hack that that's that i mean we'll talk about that that is scientifically proving to help you sleep is a big thing and so those are the three core values that we we give people throughout the night and that's how we help people sleep That's so fascinating because I think a lot of the solutions to this problem that I've encountered before really involve removing the phone from the equation completely. you know there's There's different products where you can put the phone in a box or, as you said earlier, the the very rudimentary method of just don't have the phone in your room, which realistically, we know that's something very few people have the self-control to do. But I think there are so many people
00:18:11
Speaker
who having the phone off or having the phone not with them, it enters a new sort of anxiety to the equation. And sometimes that's a very practical sort of anxiety. Maybe you have this sort of job where you're on call and you you may need to get a phone call because you might have to come in if you're an emergency service responder or something like that. Or maybe you have a family member who's ill and you might be expecting a call in the middle of the night if something happens. For some people, maybe it's it's less rational. You just have this sort of FOMO, fear of missing out. you know Maybe something will happen. and um But the the idea of knowing the phone is there and if somebody does give you an emergency call, you will get the message.
00:18:52
Speaker
I wonder if that gives a sort of calm that other solutions aren't offering because we don't always talk about that is is how to address some of the the anxiety piece of it while still giving yourself a healthy sleep. We work with a lot of doctors because your example is perfect. I mean, a lot of doctors say they need to be on call, they need their phones. So I think that's the easy example of why people would need their phone. But truthfully, that's ah yeah i mean that's not the real value and that's not the real person. At the end of the day, not everyone's a doctor and not everyone needs to be available throughout the night.
00:19:26
Speaker
I'm sure but yeah the question of whether it's, is is it a need or I want is a good question, but I think it's, as you said, it's not relevant to the matter at the end of the day. I mean, people that use LV or people that talk about the way that they sleep and their relationship with their phone is, is, um, is always weird because it's a world relationship and we use it for our partner and for our phones. But and people ah want their phone next to them because it's become an integral part of our lives. And basically, it's just like a partner that we have who need to be with it all the time. It's not only a joke about common sense, about putting it outside of your bedroom. People truthfully need their phone next to them. That's where I think LVMan just
00:20:06
Speaker
fit in talking about basically what you said if you took at it in the terms of sleep was internal sleep problems when we're having a hard time falling asleep because our brain is working all the time because I know you need to you're thinking about your next day you're stressed what's happening that's everything that's internal sleep problems and one of them is is my phone next to me that's totally an internal sleep problem and it becomes an external sleep problem the second you
Improving Sleep Hygiene
00:20:30
Speaker
have your phone next to you So but all the combination of internal and external sleep problems, that's that's ah that's an interesting um part of of sleep and of sleep hygiene, of sleep environment, of everything around us, basically. So maybe if there is this codependent relationship that someone has with their phone, that's something to explore in in therapy another time, you know maybe why that is, but but just realizing that
00:20:54
Speaker
Hey, I'm being honest with myself. And if there's going to be a sustainable solution, something that I can actually commit to you every single night, I'm going to recognize that for better or worse, I do need to have my phone next to me. And this is something you said at the very beginning, you know, when people talk about having their phone next to them, a lot of times it is with a little bit of guilt. And I've probably answered the question that way too, because it in some ways it feels embarrassing almost is, you know, can you go a few hours without your phone? No, sheepishly yeah it's very hard. i done and Yeah. But so this, um, this just gives ah a solution that somebody can actually commit to you because we're not asking them to do something that, that we know they're not going to be able to do. It's, it's like going on a diet, right? The diet has to be something that you can stick to. Yep. That's very,
00:21:41
Speaker
So what else goes into sleep hygiene? You've mentioned that a few times. So, you know, you talked about obviously the blue light, calming down before bed, taking a shower. What are some other things that we can be thinking about that set us up for success to have a good night's sleep? I actually sleep hygiene I love the term it's it's when in the sleep ecosystem it's I think the most concise and accurate term we have there sleep hygiene because sleep hygiene talks about anything all external sleep factors in the bedroom if you look at our bedroom it's supposed to be a sanctuary and it has a goal it's supposed to allow us to reach quality sleep that's why we have a bedroom
00:22:17
Speaker
And if you look at our bedroom, basically, we have a lot of factors that come into play when it comes to our sleep. If it's yeah EMF, we talked about that, or blue light, but then you'd have light, you'd have noise, air quality, temperature, humidity. Is my bed organized? Is my bedroom organized? Am I using a ah high pillow or or linen? I mean, there are so many factors or variables that come into affecting our sleep that that we can actually change. I mean, it's not, am I worried? These are a lot of variables that we have the ability to control. And all of those are, that's what's called external sleep factors or sleep hygiene. I think the better word is sleep hygiene. The LV, basically, LV started as a company, started with a singular problem, our relationship with our phone. um The company is headed towards basically solving sleep hygiene and the holistic solution to how our bedroom interacts with us.
00:23:11
Speaker
um And that's where we're heading to um understand how all these variables ah interact with our bodies.
Practical Sleep Solutions vs. Over-Monitoring
00:23:17
Speaker
And then we integrate those with ah internal sweep factors from a sleep watch, like a smartwatch. And basically, the company's headed next year, we'll launch LV Biohacker. will be able to give personalized actionable insights into people's sleep based on how their bedroom is affecting them, whether it's changing the temperature, because that's very personalized for each person, knowing when the light is turned on, which like i mean noise, all of those external factors, I think that's where um all of the sleep sector is going. And and when we're looking on people's sleep, it I hope and strive that that's where we should be going to optimizing our nights.
00:23:52
Speaker
Is there maybe a point where where we can overdo that? I'll compare it to fitness tracking a little bit. I think we know in fitness tracking first came out, there was a lot of really good attention that people were realizing maybe how sedentary their lifestyle was or that they were not moving as much as they thought they were. They weren't exercising as well as they thought they were. But then i I think sometimes it can get into this point where it is just now a new metric for us and it's a new reason to feel inadequate or, you know, I only took nine thousand nine hundred and ninety seven steps today and my watch that I needed to do ten thousand. How does that jive with still being able to calm down and relax without necessarily thinking I need to have the temperature to the exact degree and I i need to do all of these things because we're we were talking before the show started, you know, and in our family.
00:24:43
Speaker
We have a baby and you know sometimes nights are just not optimized. you knowre there there's just yeah There's levels of craziness that you can't always control. And so I just wonder how you find balance there between wanting to have this optimal sleep environment, but then also having the realities of life where sometimes you can't control all of those factors and you still need to have some peace with that. So it's a very good question. It's a question that isn't asked enough. And it's very good because it's true. And fitness is is is just how it is. I mean, we have an abundance of information that and data that we can take about our bodies. but And and they I think I'll say that when you look at sleep, when you look at all the sleep solutions that there are out there right now in the market,
00:25:26
Speaker
then whether it's a sleep waters or ah or a ring i mean there's a lot of data that's collected about or sleep in about our nights. But at the end of the day coming from i come from the perspective it's empty data just like you said so i so i walked to nine thousand steps or. I mean when you look at sleep that all of these money a lot of monitors we work with but what they show you is that you fell asleep at ten. At 11 you moved in bed, at 3 you reached REM, and at 5 you woke up. For me, it's um i mean it's empty data. I have nothing to do with this data. that's It's very true. and The most important thing for Elvi...
00:25:59
Speaker
Just like with LV charger, that's a solution oriented product, what we're talking about here is not giving people the data. At the end of the day, when I want to sleep better, I don't care if Fahrenheit to here, to here, that's the solution. That's not what's going to solve my sleep. I want the bed to do it on itself. I want all of these things to work automatically. And basically what we're doing, we're already talking, I'd say the easier one is to talk with the AC. and with the humidity basically we we tell we control all of these things around us based on how we're sleeping and we can modify it throughout the night without telling people i mean you need to do this and you need to do that we do all these modifications and just in the morning if they want to. They can see the data and see oh wow i mean i slept better today than i slept um and yesterday that's where it's headed and i think that's it's a really good ah point to be discussed that.
00:26:50
Speaker
more data on how I sleep or making an access of ah of sensors inside the bedroom isn't the
LVAI's Future Plans: Biohacker Launch
00:26:56
Speaker
right decision here. I mean, we have enough electricity in our bedrooms. That's great. I, yeah, I think that's a perfect answer to that. When we started, we we started the development of this product of the LV biohacker. It will launch next year, but we started it last year already. And all of us, I mean, all the team, we sleep with a bunch of sensors inside our bedrooms and every week everyone shows their, their data and, uh, And we feel like this is the most irrelevant meeting that we have in the company. Everyone goes over their data at the end of the day. Everyone says, I slept good. I slept bad. And then we move on because we're not in the phase that we can still, I mean, control everything inside each one's person's bedroom. So it's really empty. There's nothing there. So we'll solve that. So if someone's interested in getting updates about biohacker or even just checking out LV right now, where can they go to learn more about this?
00:27:46
Speaker

products. There's always a lot of research into that. So whoever wants to join, take a hold of their sleep. I think this is a good good stepping stone into the world of sleep and biohacking. Yeah, the calculator is such a cool resource. i I think that being able to leverage technology to give someone actionable insights is is so different than a lot of other places where you're just scrolling through articles that may or may not be helpful to you or may not be applicable to you because you just recognize that the sleep is so personal.

Appreciate it. And I hope you get to talk sooner than later. I wanted to jump back in here and add a little bit about my experience using the LV charger so far. Odette actually has no idea that I'm adding this to the episode, but I have had a LV charger for a couple of weeks now and I've got a
00:30:49
Speaker
Longer review of this on the blog, Swinyolabs.com, but just wanted to say a few things here. So first of all, as a phone charger, it's great. It's super sturdy. It looks like this gigantic shield, but it's really portable. It's light. It's strong. You can take this places. It sits really nice on the bedside table. It's got this really easy access port for the charging cord. Any size phone fits into it. So just as a charger, it's um a really nice thing to have on the bedside table in terms of how it's impacted my sleep so far.
00:31:21
Speaker
So as I said, I've only had it for a few weeks, but I will say that in those few weeks, the nights that I have woken up, it has been because of something that I can point my finger to. you So usually the baby's crying or something like that. But I haven't really had a lot of those nights where you just wake up in the middle of the night kind of for no reason at all and you're feeling really restless and it's hard to go back to sleep. So I think it's a little early to tell if that's because of the LV charger, but so far so good with that. I will say, just so you give kind of an honest perspective here, the first couple of nights that I had it, I do feel like it was actually enabling me to be on my phone more. Maybe that's just because I was messing with it or I was trying to see how it worked or wondering if I could play a meditation or music or something like that while it was charging. So I think without this, I probably wouldn't have been doing those things before bed. And it's certainly no fault of the LV product. This is really just user experience with it.
00:32:17
Speaker
But once you get used to it, I think it's a ah really great thing to have. So if you want to check it out for yourself, the website is lv.ai. That's e l v y dot.ai. Just as a website, there's a lot of great resources there. They've got articles and information about sleep science and some of the different topics that we talked about on the show. And then if you want to see how the product works, You can use an exclusive code. It's SwenioLabs10. That's S-U-E-N-O-L-A-B-S, the number 10, and get 10% off your own LV charger. Let me know what you think. And if you want to see more of my perspective, again, you can check it out on SwenioLabs.com.
