This the most comprehensive discussion of sleep I've heard in a while. Just listening to the expert speak feels therapeutic. Very helpful information!

[@thaselloyd8289]

read his book. very informative

[@mrp3027]

20:50-35:40 Tips if you've had a bad night sleep: 0. Sleep hygiene (control light, cool down your bedroom, mind the caffeine/alcohol intake) 1. After bad night sleep do not sleep in, wake up at your usual time (keep regularity of your body's internal clock). 2. Don't go to bed earlier than usual, even if sleepy. 3. Resist the urge to nap, especially if you don't sleep well at night (it is like snacking before a meal). Tips if you are still struggling: 1. If sleepless in bed for 20-30 minutes - take a break, don't stress yourself. Get out of bed, go do something different, return when you re-learn the association of bed with sleep. "You'll never sit at the dinner table waiting to get hungry". Stop trying so hard to fall asleep, because you will teach yourself that bed is the place where you have to toss and turn. 2. Have a wind down routine. Sleep is not a "light switch", but "landing a plane": the faster you go, the longer it will take to land. Meditate, take a hot shower (also helps you to cool down your blood). 3. Remove clock faces from bedroom. Knowing the time won't help you fall asleep, but will only stress you further. If these things don't work you might have an underlying health disorder. Talk to a doctor to check if there are any disorders. Additional information on using screens before/after sleep: 1. Sleep procrastination - you are sleepy, but think "I'll just check facebook one last time", and then 30 minutes later you are already deficient on sleep. 2. Anticipatory anxiety - when you have your phone next to your bed and you start scrolling first thing in the morning, your brain thinks "the first thing in the morning I will have a ton of information waiting for me" and so becomes restless. Try to stay away from your phone for at least first 5 minutes after waking up.

Hello, how are you doing. i hope you're taking good care of yourself.

[@The.blessedbee]

Matthew Walker is very easy to listen to, it's great to have an expert who can break down the information in a very understandable way for the general public!

[@nafitnessuk]

I highly recommend that you read his book 'Why We Sleep'. You will never think about abusing your natural sleeping habits again!

[@larissakollmann789]

Absolutely :-)

[@raulrus9026]

I love that book

Christian Stranne why is it unloading ammo during the day when I'm not sick?

[@Inertia888]

I find that a perfect blindfold helps me to relax. Most nights it allows me to find sleep on a deeper level but even when I don't fall all of the way into sleep, the perfect darkness of the blindfold and the fact that I do not have to focus on keeping my eyes closed tends to keep me in at least a much more relaxed state of mind. There is a big difference from trying to keep my eyes closed, which ends up bringing up it's own stress, and having that perfect darkness blindfold on and being able to just relax my mind.

[@isaiahhiggins]

yeah, my eyes naturally want to stay open, so I should give that a try.

[@Inertia888]

@@isaiahhiggins I just use a soft cotton bandanna and tie it over my eyes instead of around my head

Be me, sleeps at 3-4am, wakes up at 8am due to an abnormal fixed bodyclock and be tired for the whole entire day and unable to sleep or nap until its time for me to sleep again. Then cry when the people around you are able to sleep when they feel like it

I normally would get triggered with some of this content. I sometimes take several swipes at this type of content to get through it. Your intro about that exact issue allowed me to focus throughout it, thank you.

Sleep is critical!

[@shnitzellink4833]

Love this guys book

[@Amadeus_Flyfishing]

I recommend trying the "military sleep technique" (google it). I mix this up with some progressive muscle relaxation. Takes a few minutes and will make me fall asleep within 5-10 minutes ~ 80% of the time. It's a skill that needs to be learned, so please don't give up after the first time. Maybe it will work for you too, hope you are all safe and stay healthy!

[@randomvideos7295]

Love his book

[@AppleSlicesUnite]

I do all my important things early morning because I have more mental clarity and a great memory to do what I need to take without issues. By midday, I can tell struggles with memory issues.

[@SatyajitRoy2048]

Peoples live with memory tend to be early riser and peoples live with intelligence are nocturnals. I am not saying you are wrong but my brain becomes super active as the sky gets darker and darker. I am a programmer so I have nothing to do with memory cuz I have to live with logic. It all depends how you have trained your mind. I go to bed at 3AM since last 25 years and I sleep not less than 8 hours

[@jaipeacee]

51:00 in the book titled Why We Sleep, he did mention that all the politicians who were bragging about sleeping less went on to develop sleep related disorders later in their lives.

I want Matt walker to talk about when someone should sleep. All i here is quantity, quality, but not a sleeping window. Sorta like food: how much you eat, what you eat, and when you eat!

[@phillips8366]

Hi, I read Matthew Walker's book and maybe I can help you out. Unfortunately, there isn't a one-size-fits-all prescription for a "perfect" sleep window. In fact, there's a wide range of early birds and night owls. Some people function best going to bed at midnight and waking up at 9am, and some function best going to bed at 8pm and waking up at 5am. It's something that you have to figure out yourself by staying attuned to your natural rhythm. Here are some tips to help you do that: - Start dimming the house by 7pm. You don't need to bust out a flashlight to get around; just turn off a couple lights so you know that artificial light is minimally affecting your melatonin production. - Note when you first yawn at night. Assuming you aren't sleep deprived, this should give you a better idea of when your body wants to settle down. - Think back to long vacations you've taken in the past. When did you naturally fall asleep and wake up? And did you feel refreshed? - Don't beat yourself up for being a night owl. If you're a night owl but you insist on waking up at 4am, the idea that it's lazy to wake up later in the day is poisoning the quality of your sleep. Here's a video that might help, too: www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/chronotypes-early-riser-or-night-owl

Sleep? Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work. And when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah!
