- 0:00Speaker 1: We've got Dinnage Cavinder and yet Discovery Vitality. See, this
- 0:04Speaker 1: is the first time you've come to our new building.
- 0:05Speaker 2: We've been here for three years, and I've heard such
- 0:07Speaker 2: good things about the food.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Yes, it's great to be here.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know if it would be Vitality Meals helping.
- 0:15Speaker 4: The bacon.
- 0:19Speaker 1: But what excites me the most is this new venture
- 0:22Speaker 1: that Discovery Vitality is on because finally I can reach
- 0:25Speaker 1: diamond status. Because this is how I'm gonna get there.
- 0:27Speaker 1: I'm going to sleep my way to diamond status.
- 0:30Speaker 4: Tell us about it.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Discovery now rewarding for sleeping.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean, Neela, thanks for having us on
- 0:36Speaker 3: the air.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I think it's sleep is probably the most important health
- 0:40Speaker 2: intervention that we're not taking seriously. Absolutely so it she
- 0:45Speaker 2: feels like I'm preaching to the conversity here, but poor
- 0:47Speaker 2: sleep like increases your risk of hypertension, cancer, cardiovascularities, diabetes, Alzheimer's, depression, obesity, everything,
- 0:56Speaker 2: it's everything. So what we figured is if we could
- 1:00Speaker 2: help South African sleep better, we can reduce their risk
- 1:03Speaker 2: of death by twenty four percent. We can reduce their
- 1:05Speaker 2: risk of car accidents by thirty six percent and doctor
- 1:09Speaker 2: Rob a few weeks ago, so we've integrated across the
- 1:12Speaker 2: whole system. So we said we should pay our members
- 1:15Speaker 2: for sleeping.
- 1:17Speaker 4: But I think the conversation really is and this is
- 1:19Speaker 4: nice to have the nation to talk about, this is
- 1:22Speaker 4: what does it mean for good sleep? Because I think
- 1:25Speaker 4: a lot of us go, all right, cool, we're counting
- 1:27Speaker 4: sort of, you're just counting. Did you sleep eight hours?
- 1:29Speaker 4: Did you sleep six hours? Is that the measure of
- 1:32Speaker 4: good sleep?
- 1:33Speaker 2: So like everything we get into, we got into physical
- 1:36Speaker 2: activity or thirty years ago, nutrition twenty years ago. Now
- 1:40Speaker 2: we've got the technology to measure sleep accurately and actually
- 1:43Speaker 2: help determine what that means in general and what that
- 1:45Speaker 2: means for you as an individual. Good sleep is all
- 1:49Speaker 2: about a good routine around regular bedtime, seven to eight
- 1:53Speaker 2: hours of sleep and good quality sleep. And but good
- 1:56Speaker 2: quality we're talking about at least fifteen percent of that
- 1:59Speaker 2: time needs to be RABBITI movements sleep and fifteen percent
- 2:02Speaker 2: deep sleep because that's where your body restores, your mind replenishes.
- 2:06Speaker 2: All of those good things happen in the rem and
- 2:08Speaker 2: the deep sleep states. So seven hours of sleep is
- 2:12Speaker 2: good going to better around the same time every night
- 2:14Speaker 2: is good and then getting good quality.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Sleep, yeah, because I mean I nely knows I'm obsessed
- 2:18Speaker 4: with the sleep score of mine. Yeah right, I track
- 2:21Speaker 4: it every single night.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Now I've joined your friend, and now.
- 2:23Speaker 4: You've joined me right with this tecker because and what's
- 2:26Speaker 4: so interesting is if you start doing this, you'll start realizing,
- 2:30Speaker 4: like then she's saying where your faults lie? Right, so
- 2:33Speaker 4: you'll start seeing, oh, I'm not getting enough of that
- 2:36Speaker 4: kind of sleep, which means my brain isn't doing x
- 2:38Speaker 4: y Z.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Because with the oil rings, it lets you know your
- 2:41Speaker 1: arim sleep and then your deep sleep and light. And
- 2:44Speaker 1: now that I know that, I have to get fifteen
- 2:45Speaker 1: percent of the deep sleep. Basically what you die and
- 2:48Speaker 1: you come back from the dead and then you wake
- 2:51Speaker 1: up and you're fresh again, right correct.
- 2:53Speaker 2: So and what you'll say is Aura's got a score,
- 2:54Speaker 2: Garman's got a score, Apple's got to score, Samsung's, everyone's
- 2:58Speaker 2: got to score a sleep school. We've created the Vitality
- 3:01Speaker 2: Sleep Score. So we use the data from whether you
- 3:03Speaker 2: using your order ring or your Samsung, Apple or Garment device,
- 3:07Speaker 2: we use their data and we've created the Vitality Sleep
- 3:09Speaker 2: Score because we've got health data from the last say
- 3:12Speaker 2: four years, write live dat right, so we know which
- 3:15Speaker 2: combination for Anearli and for Frankie is right for you
- 3:18Speaker 2: and will help reduce your health risks.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Can it be that specific, like is it like individually
- 3:23Speaker 4: for me? Yes?
- 3:24Speaker 2: So, so the seven to eight hours, the one hour
- 3:27Speaker 2: bedtime window, the fifteen percent, the fifteen percent deep those
- 3:31Speaker 2: are across the population. But we adjust your score based
- 3:35Speaker 2: on your age, your gender, and any of your underlying
- 3:38Speaker 2: clinical conditions and activity and physical activity lines. Because someone
- 3:43Speaker 2: who's sleeping, someone who's who's actually less physically active, needs
- 3:46Speaker 2: higher quality sleep.
- 3:49Speaker 1: How because I've been wearing this thing now for the
- 3:52Speaker 1: three days, how does it know when when I'm sleeping
- 3:54Speaker 1: or just lying in bed?
- 3:56Speaker 3: Because it said to me, it's like, no, you got into.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Better at this time, but you you fell asus a bit,
- 4:00Speaker 1: fell asleep, and that you stop buying on me.
- 4:02Speaker 2: There's there's an efficiency measure in these devices because it's
- 4:05Speaker 2: measuring your your your creativity, your aspiratory rate, your body temperature,
- 4:10Speaker 2: your your heart rate. So through all of that stuff,
- 4:13Speaker 2: it knows that you're you're only fully asleep and that's
- 4:16Speaker 2: your rem plus your deep plus your light sleep for
- 4:19Speaker 2: about eighty five eighty to ninety percent of the hour
- 4:23Speaker 2: of the hours you're spending in bed.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it knows because I mean I read in bed.
- 4:27Speaker 4: So I'll get into bed and read a book, right,
- 4:29Speaker 4: and then fall asleep and the book drops on my face.
- 4:31Speaker 4: That's when I wake up. The first time it tracks it,
- 4:34Speaker 4: it will tell you, right, But that's my routine and
- 4:37Speaker 4: my device is No, it knows. It can tell you okay,
- 4:40Speaker 4: you go into bed and I'll often check it. No,
- 4:43Speaker 4: I did read for twenty minutes before I switched off
- 4:45Speaker 4: the light. Like it knows because obviously it's tracking your
- 4:48Speaker 4: heart rate, et cetera, et cetera. But this is amazing.
- 4:50Speaker 4: So what what kind of points do we get for
- 4:53Speaker 4: our sleep rewards?
- 4:54Speaker 2: So what we're doing here now is, like everything, the
- 4:56Speaker 2: most important thing is to develop a habit and a
- 4:58Speaker 2: routine for sleeping is actually so one of the things
- 5:01Speaker 2: we've told members is set a bedtime alarm. Everyone sets
- 5:04Speaker 2: a wake up alarm, but set a bedtime alarm, so
- 5:05Speaker 2: you're actually starting to wind down in the evenings.
- 5:08Speaker 3: That's very important.
- 5:09Speaker 2: So to create this routine, we calculate your sleep score,
- 5:12Speaker 2: your Vitality Sleep Score. We give you a sleep goal
- 5:14Speaker 2: for the week, and then there's a ring to close,
- 5:16Speaker 2: just like active rewards, just like your exercise ring. You've
- 5:19Speaker 2: now got a sleep ring. You Every night you get
- 5:21Speaker 2: a score and if you've had a great sleep, you'll
- 5:23Speaker 2: you'll within five or six days you'll get to your
- 5:26Speaker 2: you'll get to your goal, and then you get Discovery miles.
- 5:28Speaker 2: You can get a coffee, so you sleep and then
- 5:30Speaker 2: you get a coffee.
- 5:31Speaker 4: Which I mean, what balance stop it?
- 5:33Speaker 2: Or you can or you can donate to a good cause,
- 5:35Speaker 2: so like you can donate to one of our move
- 5:37Speaker 2: to Give causes. So all of those ways in which
- 5:40Speaker 2: you can reward members. And literally this is the first
- 5:42Speaker 2: time anyone's ever paid people to sleep, and so we're
- 5:44Speaker 2: very excited about it.
- 5:45Speaker 3: We're gonna we're going to export this star.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Our other forty markets around the world now that we've
- 5:48Speaker 2: taken it live in South Africa.
