Sleep Is Your Superpower | Matt Walker | TED

Ғылым және технология

Sleep is your life-support system and Mother Nature's best effort yet at immortality, says sleep scientist Matt Walker. In this deep dive into the science of slumber, Walker shares the wonderfully good things that happen when you get sleep -- and the alarmingly bad things that happen when you don't, for both your brain and body. Learn more about sleep's impact on your learning, memory, immune system and even your genetic code -- as well as some helpful tips for getting some shut-eye.

    I don't know if this helps, but a Fitbit is gray for monitoring for sleep quality and length of sleep. I have found blackout curtains, earplugs, taking magnesium glycinate, and zink are night really help with doorstep and deep sleep. I live in a state where medical marijuana is legal. Using a Pax pen for THC helped me get off 10mg time release melatonin, 100 mg time release HTP5, and GABA. It doesn't help when hormones plummet though.

    This is exactly what I try to explain to my patients who are reluctant to trying CPAP. You'll feel a huge difference afterwards and you're quality of sleep and life will drastically increase. Also, if you are on a high pressure and are ever having difficulty tolerating it, talk to your Dr. About BIPAP, it'll help ease your breathing while on a higher pressure.

    A clear-calm mind is what everybody wants and I'm grateful for having it. I feel utmost silence in my mind such that I can focus on anything effectively. I feel a gentle sensation throughout my body as a result of deep meditation. I have attained control over my mind and I allow only positive thoughts to enter in. My habits have uplifted my mood and I'm happy about this.

    I'd always had the feeling that sleep improved my productivity. Now this speaker has confirmed many additional benefits of adequate sleep. Even Winston Churchill understood the importance of sleep. He took an afternoon nap every day and said he felt like he could get 2 days out of one by doing so, working well into the evening. Churchill was the original power napper.

    Very true, it is essential to sleep when needed as this is when most damage is done and true sleep deprivation counts. We damage our sleep cycles and circadian rhythm by abusing our biological synchronisation. It definitely causes cognitive impairment and is dangerous as well as unhealthy. Some of the latest studies by sleep scientists show how important it is to sleep when we need to. It is just as important than the number of hours of sleep. When we lack sleep we get more easily stressed and anxious, it also stresses the heart and brain. Everyone is a little different with their sleep or chronotype. Some need more hours sleep than others while a few rare number only need 4 or 5 but this is extremely rare so don't let anyone fool you into thinking this is healthy for most usual people, it isn't. Some will say they only sleep 5 or so hours and hold everyone else to their expectations or standards.

That way, he can more effectively convey the importance of sleep, and get people to sleep more, since clearly the deprivation is a major issue in modern society. He explains that it should be resolved for the best performance in people's mental states, particularly memory, as well as the physical states, like in reproduction systems and the slowing of aging or strength of immune systems. It's not that he's telling you it's just good, but that people not having it is bad.

    Psychology major here. I say this so more can perhaps become attentive to what i'm about to say, and decide to read this entire post, and not for any other purpose than this. Some more tips on how to get a better quality of sleep, I will also include some of the remarks made by Matt Walker. (1) Exercise regularly, 4-5 times/week for about 30 minutes. It doesn't have to be very intense, a brisk walk will do you wonders. (2) Maintain a healthy diet, by this I mean, exclude any processed foods, such as white rice, white pasta, maximize your intake of antioxidants, i.e. fruits and vegetables mostly. Instead of eating white rice, or white pasta, try to buy them in their "fuller" versions, i.e. brown pasta and rice. They will give you more fiber, vitamins and minerals. Nowadays we fill our bellies with foods high in calories, but incredibly low in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Cut down on saturated fats, i.e. fats found primarily in processed meats, like chicken and meat, but also in ice cream, candy, cookies, doughnuts and muffins. Chicken and meat is a good nutritional source in itself, but you should be wary of how the meat has been treated in the factories before consumption. (3) Try to eliminate any drug, alcohol or tobacco usage , not only will this make you sleep, and sleep better, but you will have a better quality of sleep, and it will do wonders to your health in general. (4) Try to eliminate any added sugar from your diet. Here are some of the effects of sugar consumption; information taken from a book by Susanna Ehdin, PhD in immunology. Sugar can cause; (i) Too low or high blood sugar levels. (ii) Sugar affects the structure of our proteins, hence (amongst other things), our ability to transport nutrients through our body becomes impaired. (iii) Sugar raises the level of bloodfats and cholesterol in your blood. (iv) Sugar can cause hyperactivity, inability to concentrate, excessive worrying, and irritable mood in children. (v) Sugar can cause depression. (vi) Sugar can cause fungal infections. (vii) Sugar can contribute to brittle-bone disease. (viii) Sugar can cause fatty plaques in your arteries, as well as cardiovascular diseases. (ix) Sugar can cause migraines and headaches. (x) Humans who consume excessive amounts of sugar has a three times higher risk of developing Parkinsons disease. (xi) The mothers sugar consumption during pregnancy can have effects on the development of her baby. (xii) Sugar has a correlation with the development of degenerative diseases, (diabetes, dementia, and kidney failure). (xiii) Sugar impairs your immune system. (5) Make sure you have good sleep hygiene, i.e. your bed should only be for sleeping, not anything else, so you can, as Walker pointed out here, make your brain have a more robust association with your bed and sleep. Maintain a night routine, this has been found to make your brain become "prepared" for sleep, i.e. dim the lights an hour before bed, avoid any bright lights, rigorous physical activity, and make sure you cool the temperature in your room. This will have a positive effect on your predisposition to sleep because your brain will start secreting hormones that are conducive to sleep. Disruption, i.e. having bright lights, a warm room, and staring aimlessly at a bright computer or phone screen, will impair your brains secretion of sleep hormones, and it will stimulate the secretion of cortisol, a hormone that makes you more alert. This is not conducive to sleep. (6) Make sure you drink 1-1.5 liter of water/day, your sleep quality will improve. (7) As Walker mentioned, maintain a sleep schedule, where you wake up, and sleep roughly during the same hours, everyday. (8) Make sure to PRIORITIZE your sleep, so if you have any work, don't postpone it until later, try to do everything before the hour of sleep is forthcoming. (9) Try to tidy up your room and make your bed, make sure you get FRESH air while sleeping, at least try to, so your body can get rid of its toxins more effectively, contrary to popular belief, we get rid of almost all of our toxins from breathing, so make sure to provide your body with fresh air, rich in oxygen for this process to work better. I know, that some of us do not have this luxury, and it pains me that it has to be like this. But hopefully, if you can open a window, or something else to let authentic air flow into your room, you should do this. And lastly, remember, as Walker remarked. Sleep is crucial for EVERY aspect of your life. No part of your body can escape the debilitating effects of sleep deprivation, trust me on this one. I really hope this helps you if you have reached the end of my post. Thank you for having read it, and if you can, please, spread the word so you can also contribute to a better quality of life amongst your loved ones. Thank you.

    Through middle school, I would go to bed at 8 and wake up at six thirty every day. School was a breeze, I was insanely creative, and I was very healthy overall. In high school I started going to bed from eleven to six. School got much harder almost immediately, my mood plummeted and I was much less healthy. This guy knows what he’s talking about. Edit: no I cannot prove that it was the sleep that changed me but if there was any anecdotal evidence to convince me so this would be it.

    I also read his book “Why We Sleep” and tried sleeping for 8 hours every day for some time and during my learning process, I was surprised to see that I was doing way better than my “6 hours of sleep days”. Also sleeping less than 8 hours makes depression level increase.

Once I am tired, I sleep, or during study breaks I play a game or watch a series. A brain can be treated as a pet and can be submissive if trained. Thanks for this informative video Ted.

    I think the importance of sleep is very overlooked. I totally believe that sleep functions as a kind of self reparation self healing cycle for the human body. In the sense that any health issue you have will be helped greatly if you just allow your body to completely slow down and go to sleep. Good deep sleep clears the mind, recharges the body, it is simply good for health.

    Or mothers of newborns, or just mothers 😂? Or police and firefighters? I read something a few years ago about the benefits that sleep deprivation can bring about through our brains needing to totally relearn how to function which is actually a strength. So, although I do agree sleep is wonderful but the reasons we aren't sleeping are more important: lack of physical action, lack of emotionally and physical connection to others, depression, poor diet, lack of time in sunshine or fresh air, etc. Those things keep us awake at night and those things really harm us.

    *Summary: Get a deep sleep for 8hrs every day* Men who slept only 4-5 hrs had significantly smaller testicles and their testosterone levels were 10 years their age Sleep is the save button for learning and is also needed before learning In a study difference in learning between a group having slept for 8hrs and a group having pulled an all-nighter is 40% Hippocampus(informational inbox in brain) activity was much more in sleep rich and none in sleep-deprived Brain spindles in deep sleep makes file-transfer s which helps in retaining information. Sleep and cardiovascular activity are related- more heart attacks when daylight savings are on due to lesser sleep. Sleep and immune system- a huge 70% drop in immune killer cells when one gets a 4-hr sleep. The shorter your sleep shorter your life . There is a damaging impact of alcohol and caffeine on sleep Tips for better sleep: 1) Regularity in sleep - Sleep and wake up at the same time every day 2) Keep it cool- Keep the room cool for better sleep- optimal temperature is18degC If you toss and turn in bed- then go to a different room and do a different activity and come back when you feel sleepy- this will make associations in the brain between being sleepy and the bedroom
