Dave Asprey Says 6.5 Hours of Sleep Beats 8 on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB
The biohacker also credits a pair of glasses with curing his jet lag.
A claim that 6.5 hours of sleep can outperform a full eight anchored Dave Asprey's latest appearance on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB, where the biohacking author walked host Ben Gleib through what he called an extended sleep clinic. Asprey argued that LED lights can disrupt the body's central clock in as little as five seconds, and pointed to his TrueDark glasses as the fix that ended his own struggles with jet lag.
Asprey has been described in earlier appearances on the show as the father of biohacking, a four-time New York Times bestselling author focused on optimizing health and longevity through diet, technology and lifestyle changes. His past visits have covered a range of personal experiments, including a shift in his workout routine and a detailed account of a year-long Taoist retention protocol he tested on himself.
The sleep discussion capped off with a Thunder Round segment, the rapid-fire question format the show uses to close out interviews, where Asprey was asked who let the dogs out. His answer credited Dr. Anthony Fauci, a response described as one of the best Thunder Round finishes on the program.
Asprey's recurring role on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB has included previous conversations about the personal turning point that pushed him toward biohacking, detailed in an earlier segment where he described watching an 88-year-old with more energy than him late at night, an encounter he said reshaped his approach to health entirely.
