Sleep in the Blue Zones: What can we learn about sleep from the world’s longest living populations
A fireside chat on what centenarians know about sleep - and how your wearable can help you live it
What if the secret to living past 100 is how you sleep?
In the Blue Zones-people routinely live past 90 with sharp minds and healthy bodies. One pattern keeps emerging: these populations have mastered sleep in ways modern society has forgotten. Across all Blue Zones, sleep isn't optimized-it's protected.
Residents wake naturally, eat their last meal early, shed stress daily, and live in rhythm with the sun.
Whether you’re a sleep tracker enthusiast, someone curious about longevity, or just looking to improve your daily rest, this session will help you turn data into better sleep habits that support long-term health.
Join Dr. Martin Kawalski for a fireside chat on:
Sleep patterns shared by centenarian populations
Why circadian alignment matters more than sleep duration
Using your Garmin, Oura, or Apple Watch to build a longevity-focused routine
What You'll Learn:
The Blue Zone sleep code – natural rhythms, early dinners, built-in downshifts
Circadian alignment > sleep hacks
How to interpret your wearable data through a longevity lens
