The Stress Expert: The Reason You Wake Up Tired Every Morning | David Ko, CEO of Calm
"More than half the people that use Calm today come to us for sleep and they're having moments where they just can't fall asleep. Most of that comes, as we know, because they're sleeping next toi their devices. The devices are constantly beeping."
David Ko, CEO of Calm, says more than half of Calm users come to the app for sleep, though he offers no supporting data. He argues phone notifications at night can disrupt sleep and leave people more irritable and less productive the next day.
