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.
Thank you. As a young person thinking too much about the now and near future, this has really made me realise what I suppose I have been avoiding for a long time - that my current priorities are not what I really need and that I should really think more about what i will need in the long run and what I need to do to benefit myself and others. You have really given me a different way of looking at things. 😊
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
Thanks a lottttttttttttttttttttttttt for ur really really important and precious talk Dr. Matthew Carter..... 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..
Very nice video but because of the title I was hoping to have more neuro.biochemical physiology, for exemple: ¿how does the brain shut off when we sleep, how do we lose self-awareness and hearing, what about the hormones and stuff?; still... a great video!
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?
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.
I have some professionally undiagnosed neurological problem. I'm constantly in a dream state when I sleep. The dream switch won't shut off. I'm talking very vivid dreams. I wake up exhausted.
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've been doing this for the last couple of years, but my sleepy brain keeps coming up with reasons why 'now' isn't a good time to stop what I am doing and it's too easy to trip the timer :-( It helps, but it is not a quick fix (for me).
The irony of watching this as a mom of toddlers and knowing that good sleep is still years away... take home, "mom brain" is just sleep deprivation. 😅😅
Great talk, but I would like to know what to do with the fact that the more I need to relax/sleep the less inclined I am to do something about it. When I'm tired the thought of stopping what I'm doing can be nearly unbearable. I guess my dopamine levels run low when I tired, but knowing this doesn't help :-(
I have multiple studies done on me I am unable to sleep more than 2 hours I fall asleep weak up 2 hours later fully rested I enter rem sleep almost instantly and I am unable to sleep past 2 hours unless I use sleeping aid they used multiple test they said my body tests In rated 20 times faster that of normal person and they cant explain it
*Well, cry me a river, Dr. Matthew Carter. I have had chronic insomnia since I was about 20 years old. It has never been the case that I thought I was "going to get more done" by sleeping less--in fact, I know that I am more productive and much happier when I can get enough sleep. By the way, I am typing this comment at **5:40** in the morning, because I cannot sleep, while my wife is snoozing away in the bedroom. So, people need to sleep more to get more done in this short life of ours. Duh!*
Since i was 13 ( now 55) I just have not required more than 4-4.5 hours of sleep. I have done sleep studies, sleeping pills and it doesnt matter when I go to sleep.. I am awake within 5 hours. My mother, grandmother and 2 of my aunts are pretty much the same way. Is there a genetic code in our DNA sometimes that doest require much sleep?
You need to be tired to rest and sleep well. A construction worker or someone who has done lots of physical activity thru the day will invariably have a great sleep because their body needs rest and sleep is a great way to feel rested. As for other guys not sleeping 6-8hrs a day, I don't see a problem. Why should a well rested individual want 6-8hrs sleep if she gets up automatically in about 3-4hrs some days...this 6-8hrs number doesn't seem to make sense.
It's kind of general knowledge that the circadian rhythm for teenagers is delayed and different. They biologically go to sleep later and wake up later, (except when they are forced to wake up early for school). It seemed misleading and lazy to try and ignore that key fact.
Number 1 problem with this talk is the idea that "sleep is not fun". Ever since i got sober from a 3 year drug addiction I have been having insane vivid dreams, making me feel like I just watched 3 or 4 movies or short films in one night. Honestly, sleep is the most fun thing I love about my day. Maybe I sleep too much, but overall I cannot agree with the phrase that was so often repeated that "you never remember those nights you were really well rested", because I certainly do...
Look at all the hustle bros telling you you need to wake up at 5 am work out twice a day have three side gigs and be an all-round alpha giga chad... And we celebrate these people. Our society is messed up.
Great talk but young adults are biologically wired to sleep later at night than older adults. So maybe it was the new information about sleep that caused you to sleep earlier or a combination of that and being older and being able to more easily sleep earlier
Clear your conscience be honest and open is a good place to start I fall asleep at the drop of a hat struggle to stay awake if I stay still for too long
If they're are so many sleep deprived subjects, why are you still torturing animals? Depriving them of sleep, food, inducing stress and then dissecting their brains. If we want to know the effects on humans, skip the animals and give us the results Faster!

Oh my god I’ve never seen it this way thank you
So damn true, exactly going through this now
Thank you.

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

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.
After a good nap, I didn't overeat today. But I felt a little bit guilty, so I watched this Ted Talk, thank You!
awesome speech! Thank you for this ted talk! it's true how important sleep is and how little everyone pays attention to it
Excellent. Thanks very much. What’s interesting for me is that my wakefulness approximately between 2- 5am I’m highly creative and energetic.

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
This is a very nice reminder of what my parents used to say: sleep tight :)
What an impressive guy! Thank you, Dr. Matthew Carter. Well said
I actually do recall my favorite nights of good sleep, all 4 of them.
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.
But still, you are missing all the health benefits of a full seven to eight hours of sleep!
How much nap do you take ?
It makes sense that your metabolism works hard at night cuz I always feel more slim and always weigh less in the AM
Thanks a lottttttttttttttttttttttttt for ur really really important and precious talk Dr. Matthew Carter.....
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..
Interesting n informative talk . Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
Very nice video but because of the title I was hoping to have more neuro.biochemical physiology, for exemple: ¿how does the brain shut off when we sleep, how do we lose self-awareness and hearing, what about the hormones and stuff?; still... a great video!
Great presentation. I'm going to recommend this to my students
Many toddlers DO have screens in their bedroom. Studies show both language development slowed and disrupted sleep. It’s an urgent health issue.
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?
Look up on Yt for "Learn the perfect hormonal time for...." it's another Ted Talk which explains this well
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.
I have some professionally undiagnosed neurological problem. I'm constantly in a dream state when I sleep. The dream switch won't shut off. I'm talking very vivid dreams. I wake up exhausted.

Genial el mundo que el ser humano ha creado para si mismo, no? (sarcasmo)
Excellent talk.
Great Talk! Thank you very much!
I finally found this one again! Yay!
I only got 2hrs of sleep now but I chose to watch this and I think it's good.
I'm going to hook my WiFi up to a timer where it shuts down at 10pm.
I've been doing this for the last couple of years, but my sleepy brain keeps coming up with reasons why 'now' isn't a good time to stop what I am doing and it's too easy to trip the timer :-(
It helps, but it is not a quick fix (for me).
Extremely insightful and helpful
The irony of watching this as a mom of toddlers and knowing that good sleep is still years away... take home, "mom brain" is just sleep deprivation. 😅😅
13:42 You said best sleepers in the society is kids?
you know why?
because they don't overthink and nothing to worry about that's why..
My Insomnia helps me fight my battle against the hundreds of spiders in my apartment
ME: Finally I finished watching this video.
YAS: That's GREAT. I did that a year ago.
Great talk, but I would like to know what to do with the fact that the more I need to relax/sleep the less inclined I am to do something about it.
When I'm tired the thought of stopping what I'm doing can be nearly unbearable.
I guess my dopamine levels run low when I tired, but knowing this doesn't help :-(
Incredible videoooo, thank youuu

'no one looks back... and remembers...' because sleep deprivation leads to brain fog
You get more done when you are well rested
Sleep is so vital for good health.
Aim to get 7 to 8 hours per night to avoid the ill-effects of sleep deprivation.
Thank you
Good information. Thanks.
Thank you ❤️
Yes! Great talk.
I'm watching this at 3am - wide awake. I need to get to sleep. Lol guess I better stop looking at my phone at night.
Since i was 13 ( now 55) I just have not required more than 4-4.5 hours of sleep. I have done sleep studies, sleeping pills and it doesnt matter when I go to sleep.. I am awake within 5 hours. My mother, grandmother and 2 of my aunts are pretty much the same way. Is there a genetic code in our DNA sometimes that doest require much sleep?
Not me... I'll have my sleep, thank you very much!
who is watching without sleeping and awaking late at night?
Yeah..it's 11:45 pm now and I'm watching you in my bed.
4:11 that quote is a lie!
The ability to sleep is the best gift we could get in our lives O:
But why didn't we get the ability to not have to sleep?
Sleep is necessary, not a good thing.
@@ichspiellp3685 necessary now equivalent to not good WTF?
Thanks!
POV: you are watching this at 3:00 AM
Me: planning to sleep
School: I say let it die….let it die🎉…..let it die🎉..
I want to know WHY there are DISLIKES?
So you just pushed me to let all list to do and take long nap🤣
I was concern the whole time about this mans breathing
Watching this at 3:46am, I' gotta purpose to sleep earlier. I would go for 6 hours.
Bad eating habits: "I ate a whole pizza by myself!" / Me, an Italian who has been used to do that as the most normal thing: ._______.
So i felt tired at 8 and i completely ignore it , i continued to watch and now i only jave 5 hours of sleep . 😔
He's woke and so am I! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

What cause's people to want to sleep all the time? In other word's I sleep more than 20 hours a day!
He's woke about being woke.
I came here tired 😂 Who is with me? 🙃
Ironically, I am watching this at 2am🙂↕️☠️

Watching this at 1 am and l know l have to be up by 5 am
Excellent.
My procrastination gives a f*** about sleep :(
But nonetheless, sleep should be holy for everyone!
2:38
4:50

I'm watching this at 3am. SeNd HeLp
lol
you think that I am living in my own simulation on a higher level than mice.
After saw that viedo 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I gone for sleep 😁😁😂😂
who is watching without sleeping and awaking late at night
Wish I could sleep.
Clear your conscience be honest and open is a good place to start
I fall asleep at the drop of a hat struggle to stay awake if I stay still for too long
Is it so wrong to love sleeping 😴🤤😴
Sleep is awesome
If they're are so many sleep deprived subjects, why are you still torturing animals? Depriving them of sleep, food, inducing stress and then dissecting their brains. If we want to know the effects on humans, skip the animals and give us the results Faster!
I didn’t know nickatnyte did ted talks
so basically being awake is death. got it. ted talks ftw
but how many times he said "sleep"? hihi
❤
What about the science of breathing dude?
I'd better spend time on ASMR.
Don’t get me wrong but u need to center yrself a bit. Your speech is tiring, agitated and all over the place ...
