How To Improve Your Sleep | Matthew Walker

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 book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, 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, Why We Sleep 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.

I LOVE HIS BOOK "Why We Sleep" whenever I cannot sleep I start reading it and fall asleep in minutes.

[ennisdelmar]

sleep deprivation age you by decades, this guy is actually 90.

He could tell me to go hell and I'd be quite excited about it.

I've been a shift worker for two years. Flipping my sleep schedule upside down every month. It's hell. Never rested. In a constant psychosis-like state. No money is worth my health.

Sleep is so vital in the maintenance of good health.
Everyone should make sleep a priority in 2020.

I've just finished reading his book. And what a great book. It was exactly what I needed to stop neglecting sleep. Now that I know "a lot" about the importance of sleeping, I'm taking good care of it. I've been getting 7-8 hours every night and my life has improved tremendously! I'm so glad there are people like Matthew out there to do this for us! I look up to this guy!

[BiB]

For his age, he looks really young! He's a prime example of what consistently sleeping well looks like!

[Jamesssssssssssssss]

He has 0 bags under his eyes, this man knows sleep.

[TheDangalagh]

[Mosababumarzouk]

His voice puts me to sleep, in a good calming way

Im not getting enough sleep these days but this video is so helpful there is no value of being awake to study or work because you will just be sleepy and you cant focus or be motivated

[smoneybaby]

Ironic how this video is taking up on my sleep as I’m watching at 4 am

WHY WE SLEEP is one of the most important books I have ever read. I have bought it for at least ten other people - so far! Many thanks to Dr. Walker for all his research and this incredibly informative and life-changing book.

Get up at 6AM. Do physically demanding work for eight hours (I'm a gardener/nurseryman), go to bed at the same time every night...believe me, you'll sleep fine. Works for me.

[lizzy__brock]

matthew walker literally improved my entire life through sleeping . he’s so coo

[David-qfpr]

Workout people. Seriously. I always that i had insomnia ever since i was young. I started working out and within in a month i noticed a huge difference. I would read 15 minutes before bed and as soon as i laid my head down i was out. I got lazy last year and stopped working out. The insomnia came right back. It might be a pain to go and hit the gym everyday but when you do it pays off...not only with sleep but with overall health.

[LeonsHarmonica]

How has nobody pointed out that he's quite literally a "sleep walker"

[FatherJoel]

If Matthew Walker's mother and Matthew Walker's father had a baby.

I had been sleep deprived from my 16 until my 24 years of age (getting 3 to 4 hours of sleep per night). What I got as a result were panic attacks, anxiety, lack of memory and difficulties to learn (in college and work). My professional life was deeply affected by this, and I still struggle with my anxiety now. Currently, dealing with a restless partner during the night, I gained back to the old results of sleeping deprivation, and I say: it is torture. I hope I can convince him to do a "sleep hygiene" as we call it in Brazil, so I can be sleep properly and be happy again =(
