  • We know we NEED sleep, but do we fully understand how sleep can make or break our lives? Matt Carter reveals the truth behind how our horrible sleep habits may be keeping us from reaching full potential. Matt Carter is a professor in the Biology Department at Williams College where he teaches courses in Neuroscience and Physiology. He received his undergraduate degree in Biology from Whitman College and his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Stanford University. At Williams, Dr. Carter’s lab studies how the brain regulates sleep and food intake, and his research is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Dr. Carter has published findings in top scientific journals including Nature, Nature Neuroscience, and The Journal of Neuroscience, and he is also the author of two scientific textbooks. He has received numerous scientific awards including the Young Investigator Award from the Sleep Research Society and the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation. He has also received numerous awards for his teaching including the Walter Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching from Stanford University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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 :-(

    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?

    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...

    @SkyGodKing 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

  • @theqsanity5797
    @theqsanity5797 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    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.

    *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!*
