Dr. Matt Walker: The Science & Practice of Perfecting Your Sleep

So dumb when you hear people talk about evolution in reference to everything. Did we start out permanently asleep and that helped us wake or did we evolve to sleep, mother nature also paralyzed us during dream sleep! That crazy mother nature! 😑 Gimme a break and just acknowledge a higher power.

Im up past my bed time listening to this

There are certain nights - usually once every one to two weeks, when I get NO SLEEP whatever. I then attempt to make up for the losses, which usually seems to be successful a day or two later. Are there any procedures or supplements that I can initiate to subdue the disadvantages?

6 hours sleep is the asnwer?
Why did Albert Einstein sleep 10 hours everyday?
He lived long age. And everybody know what he did.

Fucking grew an inch overnight. That’s the recharge battery 🛌 sleep.

I have great admiration for Andrew, although I must point out that he displayed a tendency to interrupt his guest prematurely during the ongoing segment of the video that I am presently viewing. It is possible that his enthusiasm or strong engagement with this topic led to his actions... Hopefully 😂

What about medicines like Seragual or Zanex for sleep? Please I am alarmed! thank you ❤

I love the mutual respect. This talk is so fascinating.

'What a sense of humor, had me going" on the "Get your affairs in order" ..

This piece is replete with valuable wisdom. A book with parallel content was a life-altering read. "Your Body Your Temple" by Sophia Wintergreen

But some people do walk around and do things in their sleep. Two of my children did. And my husband does a lot. He is not the father of my children.

At least 30minutes of natural light exposure daily as early as possible

drink caffeine only 10hours before sleep, not after that

Let matt know that after listening to him talk for 2 50minutes i still want to live, lol

I am absolutely impressed with and wish my son to emulate Matthew Walker. The man is extremely articulate, controlled and eloquent. His thoughts just flows flawlessly and smoothly like water in a river. I wonder how he trained himself to think and articulate his thoughts like that. It's impressive to me because I have problems with words and struggles with my ability to communicate and this man is amazing.

I'm using this info in my Intro to Psych course for nursing students to help them understand the importance of sleep and ways to improve it. Thanks for always providing such easy to understand info!

You keep interrupting the guest!

Andrew you talk more than the guest. 🤔

All of these sleep podcasts stress sleep quality. But that is never defined… how much deep and REM should we be striving for, Dr Huberman? I’m assuming it should be a percentage of sleep total rather than a specific duration, considering ideal total duration is 7-9 hours.

I’d be curious to hear what they’d say about if something like activated charcoal could help offset the detrimental effects of alcohol on sleep.

Oh how I wish .., I love in tokyo …
I am still on sleep meds and I prioritize my sleep .
( I’m a vocalist and it makes the BIGGEST difference )
I have been an insomniac since a child
Wish I could be tested on
Thank you for your vid

im feeling sleepy after this episode

Amazing content, thanks🙏But someone please keep checking in on Dr. Walker,..his jokes and part of his rhetoric sound like unhealed trauma and being used to suic1dal thoughts to me and a few ppl I showed this to...

Its 4 am , i cant sleep , here i am watching it

This guest is great at recalling, and gently bringing the host back to topic while addressing his question at the same time. Pretty impressive.

I wonder if that signal that goes down the brain stem is associated with that sensation of falling you may have when falling asleep. Sometimes the sensation jolts people awake.

Hi Andrew,

I have a 48 hour Circadian Rhythm (38 hours awake, 10 hours sleep) because of a sleep-related stressful event 30 years ago. It reduced my sleep pressure (my ability to become tired) by quite a bit.

Atarax (hydroxyzine) helps to sleep considerably better, but it causes tolerance and the effectiveness reduces in a few days.

ChatGPT thought that anxiousness may be the underlying cause. I don't feel anxious but it still insisted it could be the reason. I believe that.

I wonder what solutions there could be to this condition?

Thank you!

How is no one talking about how many times he interrupts Matthew…this got me suffering!!!

I usually remember postural movements😂

neuroscientific chemical are so difficult, so can say what all you can say, normal people like us cannot sleep, no matter what jargon you analyse, we still cannot sleep,tell up how to go to sleep, otherwise, just take the damn pill.

listening to to podcast for long time porbably make you sleepy, just like taking a sleeping pill, is faster, listening to podcast for long time eventually help you sleep.stop talking jargons and how people like me have insomnia can sleep

does not work, all talks, just cant sleep, took all supplements, daylight, exercise, gaba, magnesium, whatever you may add, finally, just take a sleeping pill ambien, thats guaranteed. Herbal, meditation ,listening to music, yoga,etc,just cant sleep, rather take a damn pill

Thank you for useful video 🙏

Could the ear muscle not being paralyzed during sleep be a natural defense for hearing dangers while you are sleeping?

Who is watching this instead of sleeping

This is perfect to watch before sleep!

One thing that wasn’t covered was how detrimental is it to get between 6 and 7 hours. I feel like I can’t possibly do more than 6.5 but I fall asleep almost instantly, and stay asleep and sleep well. I’m wondering if I need to force 7?

Great video, missed the opportunity to talk about what people should do who are dependent on THC. How does one quit THC and get back to normal sleeping without it.

I fucking HATE sleep... I can not do it, i get (cluster)headaches if i go over 5-6 hours. It feels like lost time, it become less focused and angry about the lost time... I hear it again and again that it improves your live but I simply can not do it...

Dr. Huberman, I thought that you said before (I think on Bialik Breakdown) that sunlight through a car window or home window is not sufficient at all, for this great SUNlight exposure, due to the layers of filters that these windows have on them, that block portions of the light. However, in this video, you both are speaking like light through windows IS sufficient. I would appreciate clarification. Thank you!

Let Matthew walker talk please

Our brains are more active during REM sleep than when we are awake

There is NO such thing called sustainable meat. A whole food plant-based diet is backed up peer peer-reviewed evidence. Eating meat even once a day is harmful. Huberman is wrong about diet.

“When we have those thoughts at night, it comes with a magnitude of rumination and catastrophisation, that is disproportionate to that which you would describe when you are awake”

That end quote by Matthew really resonated with me.

It was a brilliant episode. Thank you both. 🙏

He never failed to “come on to that”…. On any subject 😂 Brilliant man on important timely topic we all need!

Hi Mr Huberman, I love your podcast and your person and this was the most bad interview, your Ego was so loud and aggressive, and many times your Interviewpartner was not able to speak because your profile wanted to stay in front…. Not good, forget your ID when you go in a talk… Sorry and thanks for your podcast, since I hear them I m much more professional with my work

I love dr. Walker and his work. Also dr Huberman always asks great clever questions!. So much I wanted to ask and found the answers here. Thank you so much to both for this amazing sharing about how hour wonderful bodies work. 🙏💞✨
