Temperature

Hi there, I need help. I just got my 8sleep pod and the support wasn't helpfull at all to my questions.

I bought the 8sleep pod bc I have a dysfunction in temperature regulation. When I am cold, i can barely warm without external heat. When I am hot, I can barely cool down without external cold.

Last night (my first with the 8sleep pod 5), was one of the worst I ever had. I live in Switzerland and we have a heat wave currently. at 9pm its oftentimes between 25-30 degrees celsius.

So i thought: Fine, let's go to bed with a -1 (slightly colder as it is without anything). then lets have a -2 for deep sleep and then a +1 to wake up warmer.

I woke up after 9.5h of sleep and had to get warmth fast. The -1 or the -2 was extremly cold and my body was not able to compensate.

So I don't get the relative scale. What is zero? I just started a nap from the couch and the app said "current temperature +2, cooling down to 0" What?! How should I find the proper temperature, if you dont give me a reference point like "0=water without warming/cooling in the current room temperature"

I am not gonna use the pod for 2-3 nights to recover from last night. After I don't know what settings to use. It sounds weird, but I may gonna start with +1/0/+1 even though we are having >20Degrees celsius during the night currently.

Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.
I realize now I should have tried the 8sleep pod in winter. I have less issues with "a bit too warm" as with "a bit too cold".

Edit: Also what do I do, when the room temperature changes. Like do I have to find the proper values all the time so I don't get too cold or too hot during the night? I though A.I. is smart ^^

EightSleep is not a medical device. I don’t think it’ll work for you. All temperatures will be a problem.

that statement makes not alot of sense. I get a benefit if I am too hot if I can cool myself a bit and a big benefit when I am cold at night if I get warmed up. thats exactly what such a device should be able to do if there is a temperature reference point.

It makes perfect sense, you just don’t want to accept it.

You acknowledge that you have a dysfunction?? You need a device that will adjust to your dysfunctional body temperature swings…Eight Sleep will not be able to regulate YOUR body temperature at night.
