We're in the era of measuring yourself for better outcomes. A century ago we figured out antibiotics. Big gains. Then we figured out a lot of other pretty obvious diseases with pretty obvious cures.
Now we're down to the complicated subtle things. This bed is running Linux so it can tell you how you slept. If you're sleeping poorly it has all sorts of mostly mild negative effects. If you know about them you can do things to fix them. It's doing a low-grade sleep study on you every night. That can be valuable information.

Sleep Number beds cost several thousand dollars, I think you'll be able to avoid them just fine.

Totally false. Any gains from micro optimizing people's sleep are wiped out by the constant mind pollution of social media. We are in an era of constant distraction.
That's a non-sequitur, and also not necessarily true?
For one, if you sincerely believe that social media is "mind pollution" then I don't see how sleep optimization is responsible. If someone has an unhealthy relationship with social media and invests in a more comfortable bed to keep themselves off their phone at night, isn't that a net win?
And for two, the minority of people in my circle even use social media. If you legitimately struggle with it, you can cut it out of your lifestyle without significant physiological impairment. You might live in an era of constant distraction, but many of us find it simple to cut-out external noise and simply exist. Mind pollution a-la tabloids and TMZ has existed for a long time, and social media isn't even it's zenith.
