1
00:00:01,358 --> 00:00:03,941
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:08,770
- So I don't know about you

3
00:00:08,770 --> 00:00:10,873
but since the beginning of this pandemic

4
00:00:10,873 --> 00:00:13,615
I have just been having
the worst time sleeping.

5
00:00:13,615 --> 00:00:15,900
So I decided to to try and figure out

6
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:17,160
what was keeping me up at night.

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,790
So I've been wearing the Oura Ring,

8
00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:20,920
the Oura Ring is this thing right here

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,130
and it is a sleep tracking ring.

10
00:00:24,130 --> 00:00:26,540
It was really great to get access

11
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:28,750
to just like what time was
I going to bed every night,

12
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:29,660
is that changing?

13
00:00:29,660 --> 00:00:31,150
So I've been using this ring

14
00:00:31,150 --> 00:00:33,150
because I was writing a
story about sleep tech

15
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:34,430
but you don't need any of this.

16
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:36,590
You don't need apps, you don't need rings,

17
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:37,880
you don't need wrist wearables.

18
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,430
You can do all of this yourself.

19
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:40,720
You wanna just keep a journal

20
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,210
and that means writing down what time

21
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:43,043
you're going to bed,

22
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:44,040
what time you're waking up,

23
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,830
if you're waking up in
the middle of the night.

24
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:47,780
Perhaps you'll include a little extra data

25
00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:49,160
like are you working out,

26
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,420
what did you eat or are you eating at all.

27
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:52,596
Doesn't have to be super detailed,

28
00:00:52,596 --> 00:00:54,730
but you know you wanna give yourself

29
00:00:54,730 --> 00:00:56,030
a rough sketch of sort of what

30
00:00:56,030 --> 00:00:57,460
your day to day is life

31
00:00:57,460 --> 00:00:58,884
because once you know this stuff

32
00:00:58,884 --> 00:01:00,840
then you can start experimenting.

33
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,240
So I realized pretty quickly after

34
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,700
I started self isolating that I

35
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:05,440
wasn't working out at all

36
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,156
and I didn't need the
ring to tell me that,

37
00:01:08,156 --> 00:01:10,660
I was pretty aware.

38
00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:12,860
What I started to do was start

39
00:01:12,860 --> 00:01:13,760
working out every day,

40
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,047
whether that was like
a 20 minute quick thing

41
00:01:16,047 --> 00:01:18,830
or some yoga, whatever.

42
00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:20,020
The amount didn't really matter,

43
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:20,910
I just wanted to make sure that

44
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:22,580
I was getting my heart rate up every day

45
00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:25,760
and to see how that would impact my sleep.

46
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,930
So after about a week of exercising

47
00:01:27,930 --> 00:01:30,250
I noticed that I was definitely

48
00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:31,960
sleeping a lot better.

49
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:33,768
Once you have this information
written down somewhere

50
00:01:33,768 --> 00:01:36,240
or logged inside of an app

51
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,080
then you can start to
play with your schedule.

52
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,136
You can, like I did, start with exercise.

53
00:01:40,136 --> 00:01:43,700
If exercise is too much
start with meditations.

54
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:45,760
See if you know five minutes a day

55
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,480
impacts how you're sleeping at night.

56
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,724
Then you can start messing with your diet

57
00:01:49,724 --> 00:01:52,180
and start messing with screen time,

58
00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:53,070
how much time are you spending

59
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:54,330
on your computer before bed,

60
00:01:54,330 --> 00:01:55,163
how much time are you spending

61
00:01:55,163 --> 00:01:56,490
on your phone before bed?

62
00:01:56,490 --> 00:01:58,420
And all of this just
gives you more control.

63
00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:01,470
More control over what
time you're going to bed,

64
00:02:01,470 --> 00:02:02,540
what time you're getting up,

65
00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:04,240
how good of sleep you're getting,

66
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,840
and ultimately you don't wanna

67
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,151
just have good sleep for the sake

68
00:02:07,151 --> 00:02:08,530
of having good sleep.

69
00:02:08,530 --> 00:02:09,870
You wanna get a good nights rest

70
00:02:09,870 --> 00:02:11,130
so that you feel better

71
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:12,558
because we could all feel just

72
00:02:12,558 --> 00:02:14,446
a little bit better during these

73
00:02:14,446 --> 00:02:16,612
very challenging times.

74
00:02:16,612 --> 00:02:19,195
(upbeat music)

75
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,620
- Good morning, my name is Aaron Sanandres

76
00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:29,599
and I am the CEO and
co-founder of Untuckit.

77
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:31,226
So we made the decision at the

78
00:02:31,226 --> 00:02:33,920
beginning of March to
have our corporate staff

79
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,881
which is about 120 some odd employees

80
00:02:35,881 --> 00:02:37,240
work from home.

81
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Since I live in Chicago
but commute to New York

82
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,420
every other week,

83
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:43,370
that's where we're headquartered,

84
00:02:43,370 --> 00:02:46,080
I've had and I've been working from home

85
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,250
every other week for the better part

86
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:49,473
of the last four years.

87
00:02:49,473 --> 00:02:52,030
You'd think during this time I would

88
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:53,800
have established a fair
amount of structure

89
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,840
around my day,

90
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,330
things like dedicated work stations

91
00:02:56,330 --> 00:02:57,163
and the like.

92
00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:59,620
Unfortunately that's not the case.

93
00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:01,940
I am a total roamer.

94
00:03:01,940 --> 00:03:03,247
Spend most of my days on the phone

95
00:03:03,247 --> 00:03:07,350
and so some days I'll
take calls in my room,

96
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:08,480
in the kitchen,

97
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,221
today I just happen to speaking to you all

98
00:03:10,221 --> 00:03:12,667
from the comfort of my living room.

99
00:03:12,667 --> 00:03:15,542
I think most people are surprised

100
00:03:15,542 --> 00:03:19,300
by the amount of discipline that it takes

101
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,031
to efficiently work from home.

102
00:03:21,031 --> 00:03:23,389
It's really easy to take
your foot off the gas

103
00:03:23,389 --> 00:03:26,378
and difficult at times to stay engaged.

104
00:03:26,378 --> 00:03:28,809
On the flip side and maybe because of

105
00:03:28,809 --> 00:03:30,900
some of the lack of productivity

106
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:32,870
it's also easy to find yourself

107
00:03:32,870 --> 00:03:34,388
working from dusk until dawn

108
00:03:34,388 --> 00:03:37,470
and so this puts a fair amount of pressure

109
00:03:37,470 --> 00:03:39,080
on managers to make sure that

110
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,579
they're effectively managing their teams.

111
00:03:40,579 --> 00:03:44,766
That's why for me I have
most of my conversations

112
00:03:44,766 --> 00:03:49,270
with my director of boards
just to keep them engaged

113
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:50,891
and to keep those lines of communication

114
00:03:50,891 --> 00:03:52,720
as open as possible.

115
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,507
So that is it, thank you.
