But a few years ago, I started using the Pod Cover, and it has transformed my sleep. It fits over your existing mattress and cools or heats each side of the bed independently. I run hot. My lovely partner tends to run cold. With the Pod, we each get the temperature we want. No more fighting over the thermostat. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/eightsleep.com\/Tim\">Eight Sleep has launched their newest generation of the Pod: Pod 6<\/a><\/strong>, with a temperature-regulating Hub that is fifty percent smaller than Pod 5 and fits under most bed frames. The thermal engine reaches your set temperature twenty percent faster, so the bed is ready when you are. And the cover embeds nine times the biometric sensors\u2014tracking heart rate, HRV, and sleep stages with no wearable. <strong>Go to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/eightsleep.com\/tim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EightSleep.com\/Tim<\/a>\u00a0and get $700 off the Pod + Base for a limited time! <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/eightsleep.com\/Tim\">Click here to claim this deal and unlock your full potential through optimal sleep<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hop.clickbank.net\/?affiliate=infohatch&amp;vendor=J1R2C\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10614 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png\" alt=\"Profit Gen\" width=\"400\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png 400w, https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This episode is the second half of my recent live Q&amp;A.
