Can You Actually Learn While You Sleep? The Science & Startup Behind REMory with Brandon Christian
Description
In this episode of 9–5 Exit Plan, I sit down with entrepreneur and REMory founder Brandon Christian to explore the fascinating science of targeted memory reactivation and the journey of turning that research into a real product.
Brandon discovered the research while searching for ways to help his grandmother after a fall affected her memory. What began as a homemade experiment eventually became a company developing a device that uses scent and audio cues during sleep.
We discuss what the research actually says, why some studies have produced null results, how sleep contributes to memory consolidation, and what people preparing for demanding exams should realistically expect from this technology.
We also explore the entrepreneurial side of Brandon’s journey—from building his first prototype to manufacturing the device himself and turning a personal problem into a potential business opportunity.
If you’re interested in neuroscience, learning, sleep, entrepreneurship, or the process of turning scientific research into a real-world product, this conversation is for you.
