The New Science of Sleep and Dreams | Professor Matthew Walker

What's inside a black hole? Is consciousness something we can measure? Where did life itself come from? How To Academy Science is a new channel from How To Academy. Subscribe today: / @howtoacademyscience
Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep.
In this talk, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, he delves into everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence.

    WHY AND HOW DREAM EXPERIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY ULTIMATELY MADE THE TRUE UNIFICATION OF PHYSICS/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE: Consider what is THE SUN, and then consider what is THE PHOTON (c, A POINT). THINK about F=ma AND E=mc2. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND ACTUAL IN BALANCE. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. It is a very great truth/fact that the ability of THOUGHT to DESCRIBE OR RECONFIGURE sensory experience is ULTIMATELY dependent upon the extent to which THOUGHT IS SIMILAR TO sensory experience. THINK about it. THOUGHTS ARE INVISIBLE. Now, very THOROUGHLY consider what is THE EARTH. It is ALSO a very great truth/fact that THE SELF represents, FORMS, and experiences a COMPREHENSIVE approximation of experience in general by combining conscious and unconscious experience. THE EYE IS THE BODY. The BALANCE of being AND EXPERIENCE is ESSENTIAL. (BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand.) THINK about it. Very carefully consider what is THE EYE. Notice the black space of THE EYE, AND notice that THE DOME of a person's EYE is ALSO VISIBLE. MAGNIFICENT. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. NOW, we OVERLAY what is THE EYE in RELATION to what is THE EARTH. (Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is FULLY INVISIBLE AND black.) SO, we now consider the semi-spherical, translucent, AND QUANTUM GRAVITATIONAL DOME that is the BLUE SKY. (It is a BALANCED reflection, as defined.) We can LOOK at what is then THE BLUE EARTH. It ALL makes perfect sense. Points are POINTS. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Great. The ability of THOUGHT to DESCRIBE OR RECONFIGURE sensory experience is ULTIMATELY dependent upon the extent to which THOUGHT IS SIMILAR TO sensory experience. Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. E=mc2 is DIRECTLY AND FUNDAMENTALLY DERIVED FROM F=ma. A PHOTON may be placed at the center of THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), as the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the SPEED OF LIGHT; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. F=ma AND E=mc2 PROVE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent WITH/AS what is BALANCED ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Dream experience is possible/potential AND ACTUAL IN BALANCE. There is no outsmarting the GENIUS OF DREAMS. Now, dream experience is/involves true/real QUANTUM GRAVITY; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Dream experience GROWS/INCREASES. Dreams BALANCE being AND EXPERIENCE. THE EYE is ALSO THE BODY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, in dreams, BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE is invisible AND VISIBLE IN BALANCE. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. INDEED, BALANCE AND COMPLETENESS go hand in hand. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. IT IS DEFINITIVELY AND CLEARLY PROVEN. It ALL makes perfect sense. SO, the INTEGRATED EXTENSIVENESS of thought (AND description) IS improved in the TRULY SUPERIOR mind. Absolutely ingenious !!!!!!! Dreams make thought MORE LIKE sensory experience in general, thereby IMPROVING upon memory AND UNDERSTANDING !!! Learn to think for yourselves. Very carefully consider the man who is standing on the EARTH/GROUND. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Piece it ALL together. Fantastic !!!! So, THE EYE is, in fact, a BALANCED WHOLE in RELATION to (AND WITH) the SPACE around it. THE EYE is ALSO the body. The BALANCE of being AND EXPERIENCE is ESSENTIAL. BALANCE AND COMPLETENESS go hand in hand. We can see that these spaces are, in fact, proportionately advanced IN BALANCE. SO, it is now time to turn to the DIRECT AND FULL COMPARISON of what is THE SETTING MOON AND THE ORANGE SUN. The fully illuminated AND setting MOON MATCHES the brightness of the SETTING AND ORANGE SUN. MOREOVER, the curvature or shape of this Moon MATCHES that of the EARTH/ground. Also, this Moon AND Sun are the SAME SIZE as what is THE EYE (of necessity). Notice that these manifestations or forms occur at EYE LEVEL/BODY HEIGHT. Therefore, these are QUANTUM GRAVITATIONAL incarnations or forms that must be identical (on BALANCE) to what is the EARTH/GROUND AND LAVA. The COMPOSITION of lunar rocks IS practically IDENTICAL to that of Earth rocks. SO, the FLAT, SETTING, AND ORANGE SUN (with the SPACE around it THEN going invisible AND VISIBLE IN BALANCE) is a BALANCED, QUANTUM GRAVITATIONAL, AND BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE in RELATION to what is THE EYE, THE EARTH/GROUND, AND LAVA. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. The Moon may also be blue. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ACCORDINGLY, a given PLANET (INCLUDING WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal areas in equal times; AND this is THEN consistent WITH/AS F=ma, E=mc2, AND WHAT IS PERPETUAL MOTION; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. It ALL makes perfect sense. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ACCORDINGLY, the rotation of the Moon MATCHES it's revolution. It is PROVEN. F=ma AND E=mc2 PROVE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. GRAVITATIONAL FORCE/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ALL of SPACE is NECESSARILY ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE. THIS IS THE TRUE AND THE CLEAR UNIFICATION AND BALANCING OF PHYSICS/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE. BALANCE AND COMPLETENESS go hand in hand. Really THINK about it ALL. GREAT !!!!

    My son is high achiever and an excellent all rounder. I was asked by an impressed school teacher how he did it. I said, well he sleeps a lot. The teacher was not at all happy with my answer, but it's the truth. As you sleep, so shall you reap. If you sleep a lot and get well rested, you will reap a lot when you are awake.

    Ever since I was around 12 I have created and added to a fantasy grouping of worlds in my head and each night I visit this place and live in its forests, swim beneath its waterfalls and fly between its planets. I have homes that occupy my planets and furnish rooms down to the dinner plates and cushions. I have never had any problem sleeping, as soon as I go there I feel myself sinking. Start creating your own worlds. Start yourself of in a field in a valley, walk up the hill to get a better view of what lies beyond and take it from there. You will be asleep in no time.

    It strikes me how deleterious hospitals are for sick people as it's almost impossible to get a decent unbroken nights sleep due to noise, heat, lack of ventilation, constant checking of patients throughout the night. It's interesting to see how much people improve when back home and into their own beds particularly older people.

    I find it very interesting that the medical field and those working in hospitals are on 12 hr shifts. Those workers used to work 8 hr. shifts and they also seem not to be able to claim their right to just hours, to protect their right to life. The hospital administration groups, use the two shift working hour shifts to save money, seemingly, under the guise of continuity of care for the patients. I think this practice is unethical and despicable. Administrators need to be called out for their grave error by you and the people in your field. When do you plan to do that? Who in this world should be in charge of correcting that? Thank you for informing people through KZread. I’ll be speaking to an attorney after this weekend to see what can be done to help the healthcare workers who are dying early due to cancer and heart disease etc. due to manipulation by the administration and accountants. Thanks, again.

    i used to wake every night between 2 am - 3 am. I could not understand why. It didn't matter if I slept at 8 pm, 10 pm, midnight, or even 1 am - at 2 am or so I'd wake. I'd stay awake an hour or two, then finally go back to bed. I finally realized there was a very loud truck across the street that left for night shift around 2 am. A couple minutes after it would pull away I'd stir awake; it took so long for me to figure this out because it would take me a minute or so to wake up after it was gone, so by the time I'd wake up, there was no noise. For anyone else who deals with strangely awakening the same time every night - do some exploration and see if you have some environmental noise going on.

    Sleeping pills are useless, but Gabapentin has been shown to increase slow wave (deep) sleep and reduce night time awakenings. I have ADHD, sleep apnea, and probably another sleep disorder on top of that. Gabapentin and dark therapy (staying away from blue light and using only red light in the evenings....I just use red Christmas lights lol) has been so helpful!

    Chewyjello, I have ADHD too, and I would give you an advice of what works for me and my mom - - - My sleep was "complicated" as my cycle was "reverse" and I could never sleep before 4 am ! (with my job starting at 8 or 9 ! and the commute to take into consideration).... fews month ago I try a pill of "melatonin" and MIRACLE I was on bed before 1 am !!! But I made a lot of nightmares (it could happen the first time with Melatonin) ---- As the effect last for LONG TIME I only take a pill every 3 weeks (no it's not a joke !!!) I take just one pill when I feel the need (if I couldn't sleep the night before !) --- I truly encourage you to try (the price is really Low !!) But be aware than the first night with a pill of melatonine is weird : you can make nightmare.... --- For my mom, no nightmare, but she really appreciate the help of MELATONIN : I give her HALF a pill and the effect lasts approximatively 2 weeks (but she also take plants now : passiflore + Valeriane + Rhodiola because she absolutely love the "effect" of falling asleep with, and She take every of this ones every evening, she used to sleep on normal Hours but very poorly sleep, now she really sleep, she is not awake every hour, and she feel refresh the morning .... Hope it will help You !! Please try the MELATONIN and maybe the others listed ! it's "natural" and it's really change our life ! .... it's 00:25 am I am tired and want to go to bed, It was impossible months ago ! :-)

    SO badly needed information! I used to be labeled a lazy parent, or worse, because, when my kids were with me, they were often late for school. I just didn't feel right waking them up at 6:45 AM!! I feel vindicated. Your lecture ought to be part of the mandatory curriculum in any school and that includes mandatory for teacher and parents as well. Let alone doctors! I mean, where are the pediatricians? They should be out there demanding that middle and high school "later start" approach be implemented as soon as possible, given the data you present. It's frustrating to know how important, and neglected, this topic is. Anyway, great information and clearly explained. Thank you. By the way, do you think we'll ever leave the poor, little mice alone? Seriously, how can scientific research be implemented more ethically? Causing so much suffering in creatures who cannot escape or defend themselves cannot be the only way we have to learn things. It may even improve our collective Karma, for those who care about such things. And if anyone says we cannot mix science with Buddhism, well ....many studies done on Buddhist monks prove that not only we can: we even benefit from doing so. Great lecture.

    I am getting irritated , sometimes when I sleep I see glimpses of some thing that hasn't happened yet for me and I forget and later i remember all again at the time of happening. Every dream won't be like that but some but if it is frightening for me I won't forget, once I said the dream to my mom when I was studying at school something exactly happened like that after 2 years. I tried to change the outcome but I failed. It seems like the life is recorded, no matter how hard I tried to change it eventually it repeats

My follow-up question then is this: What policy could you feasibly make? And how could you possibly enforce that? I get making doctors spend more time on sleep training and educating, but I just want to know that could possibly be carried out?

    Excellent. Thank you. Really relevant for me and my family--including teenage grandchildren! As a teacher beginning my career in a very low socio-economic area, I was very surprised to find the children talking about TV shows that came on after I went to sleep--say, 11pm. Talking to the principal, she said it's a serious problem for learning in the morning. She started meetings about parenting--which many of the parents attended. I went to several. She spoke of a definite bedtime each time. A lot of these families were from cultures where, before TV (as these parents had grown up), it was ordinary to have children up with the adults talking, often several generations in a home. The little one would fall asleep on their parent's lap. In the abrupt change of cultural norms, (in Israel, a country of many immigrants), they really had no idea of a certain, definite bedtime. Also, the principal had noticed that there was a lot more violence from the father if he worked in shifts, as many did in a local factory.

    So I serendipitously found another doctor who is crazy for studying sleep, her name is Dr. Stasha Gominak. She has a history of sending her consenting patients to sleep studies and discovered connections between Vitamin D and B16. There's an interview with her by High Intensity Health and an hour and a half long presentation by the good doctor. I thought that this information would relate to what you seek, though not involving the chemicals you want to study.

    Sleep is a complex phenomenon that takes place in a finely tuned machine. The prospect of a device that would enhance slow-wave sleep and spindles to improve memory retention sounds very promising. BUT in “normal” individuals, especially children, there may be the potential for consolidating too much information. Another function of sleep is forming associations with older memories which is the basis for creative problem solving. That process could be impaired if one’s brain was to remember every minute detail of a visual scene or word we heard. It might be necessary to separate tthe wheat from the chaff to make it easier to form more useful / relevant memories. That should be tested with “memory-enhancing devices.

    That's a bit of an over-generalization... Time restricted eating is a more specific way to refer to the type of intermittent fasting where someone limits their daily feeding window to a set amount of time. It's kind of like saying "Blue" = color. It's not inaccurate, but I don't think you're adding the clarity you intended. For example, doing a water fast one day each week is also intermittent fasting, but it is not considered time restricted eating.

Walker recommends several sleep strategies: Meditation (for over-active brains in the evening), total regularity regarding when you go to sleep, avoiding caffeine/alcohol/weed, having dark/cool sleeping conditions, and not going to sleep on a full stomach.
