As a Lifestyle Medicine Physician - who has also personally suffered with sleep disturbance from long-term hospitalisation and injury ( hospitals are the worst for health - that is a presentation in itself !). The importance of good sleep practices cannot be overemphasized - it is linked with every aspect of health, well-being and balance - thank you.😊

1. regularity - go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time 2. darkness - in the last hour before bed dim down the lights around the house 3. temperature - 65-68°F 4. walk it out - don't lie in bed too long if you can't sleep 5. limit your caffeine 6. limit your alcohol

I am a very light sleeper and my husband moves a lot and snores, so we tried the “sleep divorce” and it’s been amazing:) We both sleep so much better and I’m not cranky and resentful for lack of sleep. We snuggle for a bit and then go to sleep in separate bedrooms. We are fortunate to have to space to do that. I know not everyone has that. We do find people think we’re odd though. But who cares, it works for us!

[@giggityeffyou]

Sometimes my girlfriend and I sleep in separate beds and it’s the best. She also works overnight so we probably share a bed about twice a week. I sleep so much better and have way more space. It really shouldn’t be seen as a weird thing

It reflects your politeness, respect for your guests and your viewers to hear what your guests are saying, but also your keen interest in the subject matter.

[@hameley12]

Kate Brennan. I have been writing to my State Senator for the past four years about this. I have done some research and conversations at the public library near my job. Most parents agree that it's important to teach their children to sleep enough hours per night and have a nap sometime in the afternoon. Like a power nap per se. Perhaps, if the men and women in government made it a *must* or a *law* that children and teenagers who attend classes need to have at least thirty or forty minutes naps. It will help them, as Matthew Walter says, it will help the people remember most facts. But the discipline of sleep, exercise, etc should always start at home. I have seen the impact of power naps on my oldest niece; her grades went from Ds to Bs. I guess depends on each person's physiology. But it is a start.

[@kayhathaway6956]

They are always acting happy, goofy. The oldest, Isa, is always grumpy. Lol! So, in other words, I agree with you. Sometimes, lack of sleep or naps makes teens uneasy and lash out.

I worked nights for 16 years and slept very badly in the day time, I felt permanently jet lagged and eventually crashed my car by falling asleep at the wheel and also slept through a fire alarm whilst at work and took it as my que to leave and address my work/life/sleep balance, I hate to think how much I knocked off my life during those years. I now work days and often half days which is lovely and far more fitting for a person who is nearly 60 years old

Man. Sleeping at work? Unremarkable. Now sleeping through a FIRE ALARM while on the job? Legendary!

[@mathiaskinder5200]

I am absolutely loving working nights. I sleep 6-8 hours quality sleep throughout the day, with a black out sleep mask, and usually take a 90 min nap before work. Obviously there is room for many pitfalls, when it comes to working nights. If you can't adjust your schedule for it, and stay consistent with it, your sleep will suffer. If your sleep suffers, your appetite might suffer. Your relations and your work. Your ability to exercise or be active may suffer. A lot of people eat during the nights, which in many cases causes disturbances, as the body is not designed to digest at nighttime. Honestly, while there might be some inherent potential health pitfalls in regards to night shifts - Most of the problems are self-inflicted. I can finally go to work, without being stressed whatsoever. Now, stress is sometimes referred to as the silent killer, but it is rarely adressed how stressful dayshift can be for many people

[@ChristinaMaria]

As a mother to a 2 year old and a baby on the way, I can’t describe how awful it’s been not being able to sleep the amount I need to function. And it was really interesting to hear about the correlation between suicide and sleep, because when I was at my worst sleep deprivation between newborn and 6 months of life with my first, she would wake every 45 mins through the night, every night, I fantasised about suicide daily because I felt that sick that I used to think maybe if I was dead I’d be allowed to sleep and the torture would stop. I had terrible PPD and PPA, which just vanished within days as soon as I started getting some adequate sleep again. It’s truly horrific what parents go through and I think as a society here in the west (speaking as someone in the UK) a lot of us have no village anymore, and it’s hugely detrimental to our health as new parents, and society isn’t set up to help each other anymore with this as we all live so far from our families and extended families. I see a huge difference with cousins who are still living in Cyprus and have extended family around, because everyone helps with the babies and mum and dad get some rest and are much better functioning humans because of it.

[@Truthseekingdivinefemale]

Another topic that needs to be explored in huge detail. It literally derails you. The most important figure in this new humans life. For years I wanted to get into Antenatal Health for this reason and for many more. The whole spectrum of issues related to caring for new humans needs more exploring more understanding. At the core women need more support. Your right our modern society is not designed to support women through some of the most stressful years of life. It’s no wonder people are having less, the emotional toll of an under-supported family unit results in generations of traumatised individuals, sick individuals. So we know those first 7 years are vital. Let’s design a government intervention family support system that works with mothers and their kids in those early years. Let’s set it up that Women are liaising with each other. Encouraging more community more support. Let’s bring back the village.

[@livingitup9647]

You nave my heartfelt empathy. I went through a similar experience with my only child, as a single mother, living alone and entirely on my own.

[@debbieparnell7582]

@@Truthseekingdivinefemale There definitely needs to be more support for all, and I'm especially concerned by the lack of community support for (especially undiagnosed) disabled children and (undiagnosed) disabled people who want to be parents. My childhood was profoundly awful for having a lack of correct support (I'm autistic, ADHD and mildly dyslexic but being a woman who is extra sensitive and technically intelligent [none of the conditions affect intelligence contrary to public perception] my disabilities were not fully obvious to people or diagnosed correctly at the time) at the moment raising neurodiverse children is incredibly demanding because the correct support doesn't exist (having been previously built on the idea you can 'fix' a neurotype by demanding a disabled person with different needs ignores their needs and puts additional efforts into seeming less disabled). My disabilities stop me from ever wanting children (especially the whole anything touching my skin hurts/I have a blood phobia too, so I don't feel like splitting body parts open to allow out other humans thanks, part) but there are many neurodiverse people who would make incredible parents who want kids or don't realise they are disabled until they have kids. It's a form of eugenics to deem disabled people as unworthy parents and disabled children as unworthy of existing. That's where a community is extra necessary for providing the necessary support and helping all members of society thrive.

Also, as we age the sleep requirement changes with age.

He endured disrupted sleep cycles almost his entire life (grew up during the London Blitz, was sent off to war, etc.), and while he almost took pride in the total lack of sleep he could survive on, I do believe this negatively affected his brain function.

Matt Walker is a man who has found his purpose in life and I think it's incredibly selfless how he wants to share the thing that he cares about so much and is dedicating his life to the concept of sleep. We should all find the thing that we are most driven by and do the best we can at it, and we should all try and sleep better since sleep is an agent of productivity.

[@debbieparnell7582]

I agree with the sentiment but it's not 'selfless' to follow your heart. When you follow your passions like that it's a joy to learn and share your knowledge with others it's not losing sight of yourself or being self scarfing - it's filling yourself up enough to generously give. We should never seek to get away from ourselves to help others - we should always seek to be in touch with ourselves to help others. Being self centred has both negative and positive qualities and it's only in getting in touch with what lights us up that we can be a torch to others. (Also we should sleep for our sanity and well being productivity is a nice byproduct which shouldn't be the main goal)

The was one of the most beneficial conversations/ teachings I have ever heard on the subject of sleep. I studied sleep at Brock University and have been working in sleep medicine for 25 years I am currently working at the University of Miami Sleep Center as a sleep tech and up until I listened to this discussion, I thought that I am sure I have heard it all. I was humbled to say the least. An absolutely fascinating discussion on sleep and adenosine, caffeine and how the body metabolizes caffeine and how caffein latches onto adenosine etc etc. Great stuff!

[@130rne]

Pro tip - don't drink coffee until you've been up for about an hour and a half. It screws with the adenosine if drunk before you're fully awake. Get up, walk (movement), get sunlight. Wait an hour and a half. (An hour is still fine, just not quite as effective. You want to be fully awake) If you do this it should improve the afternoon crashes and post lunch naps. When I wait the full hour and a half, I don't get the coffee crash in the afternoon and also when I eat lunch, the food doesn't make me as drowsy. From Dr Andrew Huberman here on KZbin, another great resource.

[@dennisdearden2652]

@@Shaylas Glad I'm not on my own. So far I have given up drinking any tea or coffee after 6pm tea time. Now drink Sparling Water all evening, not every one's ideal drink but it's better than just plain water and it supposed to helps to cleanse the body system which I hope is helping towards aiding sleep. Started going to bed around 11pm instead of any time from 1am onwards and although I don't go to sleep immediately at least I'm resting and eventually fall sleep until 5.30 /6 ish which is great for me. Keep bedroom dark, Won't lie, I have had nights and had to get up about 3/4am but then went back to bed about 6am. Stopped having an afternoon naps because that's when I feel most tired due to lack of previous nights sleep. I found that in the afternoon I really went into a lovely deep sleep and although it was for only 30 minutes that put the mockers on going to bed until early hours. Had decided to start walking each morning again as I did before winter and I really need to get back into that for all the obvious health reasons. Stopped using ipad after 8pm as I believe the blue light is not good for the eyes and brain activity. Was planning to research the audio books to listen too as I try to sleep. I believe Matthew McConaughey the american actor, does them and his voice is supposed to be very lethargic to listen to. I won't matter if I fall asleep before the tape finishes. Some libraries hire them out, again plan to check on my local library. Good luck not sure if any of this helps, think at our age, is got be routine. The problem is we don't go out to work, are probably bored, sit far to much, drink to many cuppas. It's OK being retired with a bank full of money but most of us live on pensions and while we survive ok there aren't loads of free activities to capture our interests or imagination especially when work and families have taken up most of our lives. Obviously some people get to our ages suffering from arthritis which can be unbearably painful and sleep is difficult. Again If you research DOCEO Steve Bartlett , there is a guy who says Arthritic pain can be reduced as he feels its a build up of food allergies that have effected the bone joints.

This was a great chat. I spent 7 years of my life binge drinking only at night, in order to shut my mind off and sleep. It was a 4-5 hour thing every single night, that began at a specific time (7pm) and I was drinking close to 2 bottles of wine and also taking sleeping tablets- that is how bad my insomnia was. I never drank in the daytime, or with other people because I was treating it as a tool to sleep, not for enjoyment. I woke up one morning and felt so ill, I could feel my body was not able to handle it anymore- that day I quit drinking completely and I’ll be sober one year in September. Guess what happened…I started sleeping like a baby. I was no longer having these wake ups in the night where I couldn’t sleep for hours. I still do take sleeping pills every night, but because I stopped drinking, I have done a lot of work in other areas in my life in order to return my body back into its natural state, so this habit is definitely on my list of what needs changing.

Yes absolutely, I have struggled my whole life with sleep. Recently however, I got involved with the Zoe Big IF study and it has changed so much without being that hard to do. Its Time Restricted Eating and, because I seem to have naturally gravitated to eating within a 9 hour window, they ask you to try for 10, I have started sleeping better and my mood and energy are way up. Its not even that you feel particularly hungry but, if you start eating at say 9am and finish at 1800, (you can drink water, black coffee or tea outwith the eating window so long as theres no sugar or sweetners in it) it clearly does your digestion a big favour. I think its started me getting into a routine of getting up just before 6am, drinking black coffee until I eat at 9am, you also get a lot done in the early hours, then finish eating by 6pm, you go to bed earlier and, perhaps because the coffee is before 9am and the getting up earlier, you actually end up going to sleep and getting a better sleep much earlier. Its been wonderful, my IBS bloating has improved too. Who knew that changing when you eat can make such profound differences on everything. I would encourage anyone struggling to give it a try. You dont change what you eat or the amount, just the time. I think it sends a clear message to your gut microbes to stop working and let the ones who specialise in cleanup to actually do their work and everything else is knock on effects to that.
