The Science of Sleep (and the Art of Productivity) | Dr. Matthew Carter | TEDxNorthAdams

[davidanthony]

I hate looking back and realizing how many good years I missed because I was too tired to appreciate and enjoy them. If you are young, get wise and get quality sleep. Sleeping well is the secret ingredient for success at work, in relationships, happiness, effectiveness, driving safely, interacting with people, appreciating anything, etc.

[DrFunkeBrown]

Sleep is such a critical pillar of health. I educate my patients on this daily and love that you are getting the word out

[programmiererin]

For me the most helpful thing was to set the same alarm for each day of the week. I always used to sleep long on weekends because I went to bed late. Having a routine is so much better.

[sleeptrust-sleepfacts]

great speech, love it - when people look back they might not think about their nights of sleep, but they will remember if they felt miserable because they were sleep deprived.

[azizaabubakirova]

After a good nap, I didn't overeat today. But I felt a little bit guilty, so I watched this Ted Talk, thank You!

[jennygibbons]

Excellent. Thanks very much. What’s interesting for me is that my wakefulness approximately between 2- 5am I’m highly creative and energetic. I may write stories, poems, draw, plan etc I struggle to get back to sleep but if I do it is only about 2hrs and I’m awake again, feeling pretty good until afternoon crash.

[vittoriak]

awesome speech! Thank you for this ted talk! it's true how important sleep is and how little everyone pays attention to it

[marinaanca]

This is a very nice reminder of what my parents used to say: sleep tight :)

[arande]

When I remove all phones, tablets, etc from my bedroom, immediately I sleep better and my sleep is on track. No other effort required, except continuing to keep the gadgets out...

[monadamus]

What an impressive guy! Thank you, Dr. Matthew Carter. Well said

[lunalovegood]

Great job! Great ted talk
Our english teacher recommended this to us...
In our English book there is a chapter called healthy lifestyle and it does talk a lot about sleep as a part of it

[davidanthony]

I actually do recall my favorite nights of good sleep, all 4 of them.

[AustinDBlais]

I was getting 8 hours of sleep and would end up falling asleep during the afternoon. Now I sleep 4 hours a night and take two scheduled naps a day, I have so much more energy then before.

[CleverCheetah]

He’s talking as if we have an option to sleep more when schools have you come extremely early and at work you’re always told to stay late and work overtime. I would gladly sleep more if i could.

[HHicks]

It makes sense that your metabolism works hard at night cuz I always feel more slim and always weigh less in the AM

[susanjames]

Many toddlers DO have screens in their bedroom. Studies show both language development slowed and disrupted sleep. It’s an urgent health issue.

Thanks a for ur really really important and precious talk Dr. Matthew
As being a student, it's something ( Sleep Deprivation) that's the actual problem of our lifestyle ...So thanks for ur guidance and practical analysis..

[alexanderbramwell]

Gracias fue una gran charla. No es muy diferente en latino america, hay un lugar llamado La Chorrera, en Panamá. Allí hay serios problemas de transporte y las personas se ven obligadas a despertarse incluso a diario a las 3am...para viajar a la ciudad de Panamá a trabajar. Luego de la jornada de 8-10 horas viajan nuevamente de regreso llegan de noche a casa para hacer actividades propias del hogar y duermen muy poco a diario, por tiempo indefinido (años, decadas...etc) La gran mayoria se transporta en autobus y duermen en ellos, los que tienen auto muchas veces se transportan muy temprano y llegan a un estacionamiento en la ciudad (Panamá) a dormir hasta la hora de entrada al trabajo. Toda una sociedad con años del mismo problema, fatigados, casi ninguno con la alternativa de poder solucionar de alguna forma el mismo. Saludos

I’m split; some professionals are saying sleep is important and you should get 6-8 hours of sleep and wake up nice and early as a teenager. Others are saying; teenagers should get as much sleep in the morning as possible. Is waking up early actually good for you?

[ctskelly]

Great presentation. I'm going to recommend this to my students
