\n <\/span>, Sept. 30, 2022<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Mattress Firm<\/a>, the nation’s largest mattress specialty retailer, is celebrating International Podcast Day today with the launch of a new podcast series “Chasing Sleep<\/a>,” <\/i>produced in partnership with iHeartMedia, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac.

Over the course of eight episodes, released weekly between September-November 2022<\/span>, listeners will learn about what it takes to perform in environments that threaten quality rest and recuperation, and the techniques used to acclimate and adapt.<\/p>\n

The first episode of “Chasing Sleep” stars ultra-marathon runner YiOu Wang<\/span> and neurophysiologist Dr. Louisa Nicola<\/span> in a revealing discussion about the rest and recuperation needed to endure strenuous races of over 100 miles. Wang’s story and habits offer a contrasting perspective to that of today’s always-on society where sleep is often deprioritized.<\/p>\n

Mattress Firm, a company committed to combating Junk Sleep, focuses on the unique sleep needs of each customer in the quest to get proper rest. The solution for some may be found in the series of conversations between iHeartPodcast host Anahad O’Connor and his guests with surprising and insightful approaches to sleep. The series also features commentary and input from leading experts, as well as Mattress Firm Sleep Advisors including Dr. Chris Winter<\/span> and Dr. Jade Wu<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“Our mission at Mattress Firm is to help people sleep well so they live well,” said Mickey Mericle<\/span>, Chief Marketing and Experience Officer at Mattress Firm. “There is no uniform solution to achieving that, in fact, it’s vastly<\/i> different for everyone. That’s why we’re thrilled to work with iHeartPodcasts to tell eight fascinating stories of people with atypical sleep situations in hope of inspiring others.”<\/p>\n

The backgrounds of the guests range from a news anchor who is always on call to report breaking news, to a former NASA astronaut who learned to sleep with no gravity. Host Anahad O’Connor even interviews a guest who lives where there is 24-hours of sunlight during periods of the year.<\/p>\n
