    Fitbit published a study in Nature Medicine using 6.5 million nights of sleep data from users that shows that sleep quality impacts long term health. In a nutshell, the worse your sleep quality, the more likely you are to have conditions like sleep apnea, obesity, migraines, high blood pressure, etc. You get it.

    I won’t blame you for thinking “Duh” but this stuff can be helpful for researchers as it gives hard data to what we already know.

    Strava’s Family Plan starts at $139.99.

    This was announced a while back. (Along with a new Dark Mode which also recently went live.) Basically, four people can now share an annual Strava premium subscription. The caveat is everyone has to live within the same country and you’ve got to be a new subscriber. The new Family plan is available in 32 countries, and pricing will depend on where you live.

    “Lets unpack the future together.”
