I'm also a sleep expert. I sleep at least 12 hours a day, sometimes as much as 20 hours. This man is no true sleep expert. You can tell because he's not asleep. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go back to sleep. I am an expert after all.
“Doc, I can’t sleep” “Alright, well my first piece of advice is that you start going to sleep at the same time every night” “I... I don’t think you understand the problem.”
You're supposed to go to bed around the same time AND wake up at the same time every morning. Regardless of how many hours you actually slept. If you do that for a long enough period then your body eventually starts to adjust for the better. I used to average only 3-4 hours when it was really bad but now I'm closer to 6-7 hours. I hope one day I can fix it and get 8 more regularly. But it is what it is.
@@DrakeBrunette Nah, that's reverse fear conditioning and placebo. Nothing to do with sleep mechanisms per se. If you're healthy enough, your sleep regulates itself and your brain literally forces you shut.
Listening to this guy talk has been the best cure for my insomnia. I put all 3 of his videos together and I'm out before the 3rd one starts. Thanks Joe! 💤💤
I have known for years that sleeping naked helped me sleep better. Unfortunately, my ex used to make me sleep with at least underpants on because she thought it was "weird" to sleep together naked... despite the fact that we literally fucked right before going to sleep. I wanted to sleep naked during my teens but I was bad at getting up in the morning so my parents would wake me up by ripping the covers off and throwing them beside my bed so I couldn't curl up and be warm anymore. I was terrified of them doing that and exposing not only my naked body but also the morningwood every healthy teenager occasionally gets. Oh, well. I'm an adult now and sleep fully naked haha.
If your sleeping in the same bed as someone else why would you need socks and gloves? If you can’t sleep just bang out a quickie and pass out. As a side note to the second commenter, if I had just had sex with someone and they then asked me not to sleep naked I would laugh at them and then go to sleep without putting on clothes. Allowing that sort of behavior is worse than the behavior itself.
I’ve never had problems sleeping my whole life, I’m in my early 30’s now and my wife left me and it launched me into insomnia madness. I have too many memories with her, and these past 5 days have been 4 hours/5 hours/4 hours/6 hours/ now today 4 hours again. I’m extremely exhausted. I’m kind of falling into the mindset of “I’m scared I’m not gonna get a good nights sleep ever again” and it’s giving me mad anxiety, hopefully tonight will be the night.
Sleep is so critical to basic human functions, but nobody ever does it right because we don't learn enough about it. These podcasts may have changed my life.
When I was younger sometimes when I went to bed Id think about so many awkward bad moments... I guess it happens to everybody but now it got much better and I can just shrug it off
as someone with a severe case of tinnitus and insomnia, this advice is crucial to a functional life, as sleep is extremely important not only for your energy levels during the day, but also for mental health.
That is a topic that I can relate to as I have suffered from Insomnia all my life and is getting worst with each passing year. I hardly get any sleep now and it's taking its toll on me physically but more so mentally as no one can stand being around me longer than a few hours as I am always grumpy, short-fused and ready to explode at any time.
This man was a fantastic guest. This is what this podcast is all about. He is an actual expert in the field he has been invited to discuss, he is extremely eloquent in his delivery and you can see on his face the passion he has for his expertise. Also, just seems like a super nice guy
The best cure for insomnia according to me is to just stop worrying about your sleep. I used to follow all the suggestions mentioned in this video, and it never helped my insomnia, because I used to constantly worry about my insomnia and TRY to sleep. Instead I just did some random shit like washing and cleaning or some reading and I just dozed off. Most insomnia patients dont get sleep because they constantly worry about their insomnia. And I know it sounds ridiculous.
You're 100% right. It's easier said then done, but I think the 2 most important things are 1. Don't go to bed until you feel sleepy (not tired, sleepy). 2. If you can't sleep, get out of bed and do something relaxing like reading a book and go back to bed when you feel sleepy.
I fully agree with you, I've developed early stage insomnia now since I had strong anxiety/slight depression. And even despite following good sleep hygiene, I'd not be able to fall asleep because I'd stress about it so much, watch the clock etc. I'm still struggling now, but I'm learning to just accept it, read a book or journal/meditate, don't force sleep etc. I think these tips from this video rather apply to someone who can sleep but wants to improve their sleep quality/duration.
funny how people are locked into this free will ideology. you contemplate existence because of your health, your environment and the conditions you live in.
Wow very interesting and good information. I'm a stay-at-home dad now and I've naturally fallen into a schedule of 6 hours of sleep at night and about a two-hour nap in the afternoon just as he explained towards the end of the video. I thought I had my sleep schedule kind of screwed up but maybe I don't. Also i have been every night sitting in the Jacuzzi while smoking a fat joint and listening to music just before bed. Pretty sure this guy it's on point. Another great interview.
Many hospitals and psychiatric units utilize weighted blankets for this exact purpose. The slight extra weight of the blankets induce feelings of security and calmness, thus facilitating sleep.
Took this man's course at UC Berkeley in 2015. He's an awesome professor as well as a great thinker. Rock on, prof Walker, and GO BEARS!!! Love watching your success!!!!

People with insomia clearly have underlying health issues or psychological/mental issues that havent been diagnosed. I do everything opposite this guy said and i still sleep like a baby. I have a feeling people with insomia need to alleviate potential underlying health issues whether its exercise, meditating eliminating stressful tasks throughout the day etc. Insomia label i believe is just a band-aid label for other underlying issue going on with the individual
It is. My insomnia I believe 100% is from childhood trauma and depression. I've tried everything and nothing helps. I actually get scared when night comes bc I know I won't sleep.
@@DrakeBrunette The first 3 fundamental rules for sleep are: - dark. - "cold"(meaning around 20 degree Celsius/68 Fahrenheit). - quiet(so no noise, ideally absolutely none). I know these rules for almost 20 years now and I tried to keep them and I mostly sleep like a baby. There some more of course, like: - dont eat close to sleep(usually my last meal is about 4-6 hour before sleep) - dont think of anything, but also dont force you not to think, because any conscious mental process will interfere with the spontaneous process of falling asleep. - dont carry your emotions into bed because it will lead to the above point. - regularity, of course. - dont have work to do in the first hour after wake, let alone something important. - have clean and lots of air in the room before sleep. - go to sleep between 10-11PM. and so on.
The danger of cold is, you also get sleepy outdoors. Heard a story of somebody walking in a snowy big cold forest. He was walking for hours and got sweaty due to exercising. So he rested for a second against a fallen tree and unbuttoned his winterjacket, because he was so sweaty. He fell asleep because of the cold and froze to dead.
I can definitely relate to the point about temperature, if I sleep in a hot room and sweat really bad especially if I’m sick, I drift in and out of sleep and have really weird dreams (although all my dreams are extraordinarily strange already compared to what I hear many other dream about), but if I turn a fan on, open a window and don’t have my blanket on, I cool down and after that I sleep like a baby
I had insomnia for years when I worked third shift. Struggled to get 4 hrs a night. As soon as I went back to days I slept so much better. Felt like a real person again.
I have the same problem atm , i cannot sleep more than 2.5h , and I stay awake more than 24h everyday .. i think i need to change my job .. it really fucked me up , gave me anxiety , lost weight .. gl on ur sleep
Not that I stay up till 4, but I’ve found over the last few days I go to sleep a little later, and wake up around 3:30-4:00 and I can’t go back to sleep. I end up having to doze through the day.
This guy is absolutely right. There were a few weeks where we did Shabbat with no electricity. It's a Jewish thing and You're not supposed to turn electrical things on or off during shabbat. But we were staying with my uncle on the weekends who had a cabin with no electricity at all so there would be nothing to turn on anyway. We only had the natural light of the sun and moon the whole weekend and it completely reset out circadian rythym and ended up getting sleepy hours earlier without trying. Watching the sun set in the horizon until it got dark was like a sleep drug. We suddenly just couldn't keep our eyes open. We also woke up naturally with the sunrise. Those weekends gave us the best sleep we ever had and my brother sufferred from insomnia his whole life. It was also easier to concentrate and less stress during the day. He now tries to watch the sunset as often as he can so that he can sleep better.
So do you propose that we get rid of electricity and light bulbs then? It's ironic that you're using a computer (that uses electricity and an advanced version of a lightbulb) to say that you slept so much better when you didn't have electricity and light bulbs...
I have PTSD and have an awful time trying to sleep. Whether it’s never ending anxiety, not being able to turn my mind off, flashbacks while dreaming, etc.. I can tell you this guy speaks the truth. Going to sleep everyday same time and waking up same time (schedules and routines), sleeping in cold rooms, having comfortable lighting and staying away from blue light (iPhone yellow screen ftw). It doesn’t fix the situation, but my God is really makes a difference. If I sleep 4 hours a night I’m lucky. It’s tough and people don’t understand how PTSD derails your life. Just so I don’t have to answer this in responses, no I was not in the military. I was tortured for an extended period as a child and watched my mother kill my step father. Edit: also, at night I feel safer and get energy. It’s weird but it really does happen.
I got promoted at my job, so I had to start driving a little farther from my house, instead of having a 6 min drive it turned to a 26 min drive, and to beat traffic I wake up at 5am instead of 6:30am, I started sleeping earlier at night 10pm the latest , and my body is responding better and feeling better, I wake up before my alarm, and I feel rested, the 7 hours of sleep feels better then when I would sleep from 11pm to 6am(7 hours too) it’s pretty cool how little things can make a difference
The stay away from screen theory has always baffled me as I can only get to sleep when listening/watching an episode of JRE lol but I get how like tv screens can keep you awake from the static in the air but I find watching or listening to something helps me sleep
As a writer, I do my best work at night when it's dark and quiet and peaceful and the phone isn't ringing and cars aren't driving up and down the street and nobody is bothering me. It's just me and my own thoughts with no distraction. Also, I believe that humans were not designed to be forced awake. I feel lousy when I have to set an alarm, but if I get up naturally - usually between 10am and noon - I feel instantly ready to start the day.
racewiththefalcons1 society has changed alot, we arent ment to be woken and we probably did sleep more than once in previous times, now we have jobs with schedules, back in old time everyone was their own business, you grew what you wanted to sell and used the money to buy other foods you dident produce. Being self sufficient and choosing working hours, now we have times, schedules, rules, and other things that makes our lifes miserabel
That might be because when you wake up, you're interrupting your deep sleep. Try setting an alarm so that it wakes you up when you are in a lighter sleep state
Humans not designed to be forced awake? Seriously. Ever been out camping, in the woods,or on a farm? I dam near killed Woody Wood Pecker for waking me up at 5am!
There’s a really great app called the ‘Sleep Cycle’ app, which monitors your sleep and will wake you up during the lightest point in your sleep cycle. I’ve used it for years and found that it really does help me to get more quality sleep.
I literally do that double sleep thing on the weekends cause I get up so early during the week I pass out like at 7pm on a Friday night, wake up around midnight or a little past, and I get up play some video games, get some food, take some dabs, then like around 4 or 5am go to sleep till like around 8 or 9
Regularity is key 100%, been going to sleep at 9 and waking up at half 5 for 2 years now and I’ve never felt better had a child during that time and it got a little tricky but back to it and it’s the right way to go.
I would love your opinion on my situation. I have never ever been someone struggling with sleep. I have always been someone that could sleep 10-12 hours and not wake up ONE SINGLE time. There was a car crash once outside my window and I didn't even wake up till hours later. Recently in the pat few months, I suddenly can't sleep past 8:30am even though I have ALWAYS in my life gone to bed between 12-2am since like gr 9. Nothing has changed really and dont know why my sleeping has changed. I've tried everything you have said, melatonin, keeping room calm, not spending time in bed, no eating before, meditating, exercising 1 hour a day, no technology before bed and ITS still an ongoing issuee.. if anything, it is only getting worse and I feel like I have exhausted my options.
At one point in our life, we need less sleep. The key for you is to go to sleep earlier. However that is hard since you are used to going to sleep at certain time. You have to teach your body to go to sleep earlier in this phase of your life. Try setting your alarm even earlier-6 am. You'll see it is going to be very hard to wake up at that time for the first two weeks but later your body will crave more sleep after 6 am so you will go to sleep earlier. When your body gets used to waking up earlier, start setting your alarm at 8,30am again so that you go to sleep at the same time as before (when you were waking up at 6am) and tricking your body that way to get more sleep.

- dont carry your emotions into bed because it will lead to the above point.

Matthew Waker needs to release a playlist on spotify of just him talking, reading random shit to you. Such a soothing voice!
1. Exercise.
2. Remember step 1
3. Avoid stimulants after 2 pm.
4. Be respectful of your sleep time and space.
1. Do meth before bed
This is so true, when I work nights I get tired when it gets colder around 3am.
I've got a combination of insomnia and sleep deprivation...great combo!
This is what donald trump thinks his hair looks like
Good one
Eric Leftwich But it is an original joke. You’re clearly offended as a Trump fan.
Eric Leftwich Uhm... yes. You were clearly offended as a Trump fan hence your offended and disapproving response to a pretty innocuous joke.
@@Ghost.Spectrum holy fuck you're so triggered
@@Ghost.Spectrum Theres no need to be pissed about the joke. He won and he has improved USA .
Watching this at 5am right before bed.
Try 8 am LOL
Haha u insomniacs
Love this guys enthusiasm
I had insomnia for years when I worked third shift. Struggled to get 4 hrs a night. As soon as I went back to days I slept so much better. Felt like a real person again.
I have the same problem atm , i cannot sleep more than 2.5h , and I stay awake more than 24h everyday .. i think i need to change my job .. it really fucked me up , gave me anxiety , lost weight .. gl on ur sleep
@@dotaaccount5242 Work day shift only my man. Your health isn’t worth the shift differential on nights.
Who else is watching this during quarantine trying to figure out why you stay up till 4?
BaseGaming it’s that dang fone
Man the last 3 days I fell asleep at 8am and woke up at 4pm I need serious help
Not that I stay up till 4, but I’ve found over the last few days I go to sleep a little later, and wake up around 3:30-4:00 and I can’t go back to sleep. I end up having to doze through the day.
Your mom
Insomniacs be looking at this after a hard day's work, shopping, chores and sessions with women thinking wtf lol
This guy is absolutely right. There were a few weeks where we did Shabbat with no electricity. It's a Jewish thing and You're not supposed to turn electrical things on or off during shabbat. But we were staying with my uncle on the weekends who had a cabin with no electricity at all so there would be nothing to turn on anyway. We only had the natural light of the sun and moon the whole weekend and it completely reset out circadian rythym and ended up getting sleepy hours earlier without trying. Watching the sun set in the horizon until it got dark was like a sleep drug. We suddenly just couldn't keep our eyes open. We also woke up naturally with the sunrise. Those weekends gave us the best sleep we ever had and my brother sufferred from insomnia his whole life. It was also easier to concentrate and less stress during the day. He now tries to watch the sunset as often as he can so that he can sleep better.
So do you propose that we get rid of electricity and light bulbs then? It's ironic that you're using a computer (that uses electricity and an advanced version of a lightbulb) to say that you slept so much better when you didn't have electricity and light bulbs...
@@user-sg8kq7ii3y You can still use some technology while doing things the old fashioned way. Stop being an argumentative idiot.
@@Martin-88 Yeah, it's called "drawing the line where you find it convenient."
@@user-sg8kq7ii3y And what's the problem with that?
Watching this at 4 am tryna fall back asleep looks like 4 am is the magic time

How to reduce insomnia. Turn off you computer.
Okay. I will do that in an hour.

He sounds more intelligent then he actually is.

Great clip thanks JR yr guest is great
This was an amazing podcast
I have PTSD and have an awful time trying to sleep. Whether it’s never ending anxiety, not being able to turn my mind off, flashbacks while dreaming, etc.. I can tell you this guy speaks the truth. Going to sleep everyday same time and waking up same time (schedules and routines), sleeping in cold rooms, having comfortable lighting and staying away from blue light (iPhone yellow screen ftw). It doesn’t fix the situation, but my God is really makes a difference. If I sleep 4 hours a night I’m lucky. It’s tough and people don’t understand how PTSD derails your life.
Just so I don’t have to answer this in responses, no I was not in the military. I was tortured for an extended period as a child and watched my mother kill my step father.
Edit: also, at night I feel safer and get energy. It’s weird but it really does happen.
So sorry, that's horrible.
Horrific. Sorry you had to live though that. I hope u find real peace
Thank you for sharing. Bless you bro.

I got promoted at my job, so I had to start driving a little farther from my house, instead of having a 6 min drive it turned to a 26 min drive, and to beat traffic I wake up at 5am instead of 6:30am, I started sleeping earlier at night 10pm the latest , and my body is responding better and feeling better, I wake up before my alarm, and I feel rested, the 7 hours of sleep feels better then when I would sleep from 11pm to 6am(7 hours too) it’s pretty cool how little things can make a difference
Matthew Walker is such a great scientist to listen to.
I literally memorized his name from just this one podcast...
*when youre watching this at 3am*
No fun is it. If you honestly had a problem sleeping it’s awful
ive always been fascinated by sleep and how and why the brain acts the way it does, so this was really good to listen to
The stay away from screen theory has always baffled me as I can only get to sleep when listening/watching an episode of JRE lol but I get how like tv screens can keep you awake from the static in the air but I find watching or listening to something helps me sleep
Good that he brought up the question of diet at the end.
Joe "Wow that's why" Rogan
Rob Cameron literally as I was reading this he said it lmao
Where did this come from?😂
Lmao
As a writer, I do my best work at night when it's dark and quiet and peaceful and the phone isn't ringing and cars aren't driving up and down the street and nobody is bothering me. It's just me and my own thoughts with no distraction. Also, I believe that humans were not designed to be forced awake. I feel lousy when I have to set an alarm, but if I get up naturally - usually between 10am and noon - I feel instantly ready to start the day.
racewiththefalcons1 society has changed alot, we arent ment to be woken and we probably did sleep more than once in previous times, now we have jobs with schedules, back in old time everyone was their own business, you grew what you wanted to sell and used the money to buy other foods you dident produce. Being self sufficient and choosing working hours, now we have times, schedules, rules, and other things that makes our lifes miserabel
That might be because when you wake up, you're interrupting your deep sleep. Try setting an alarm so that it wakes you up when you are in a lighter sleep state
Would that be later when I have to be at work, or hours and hours before?
Humans not designed to be forced awake? Seriously. Ever been out camping, in the woods,or on a farm? I dam near killed Woody Wood Pecker for waking me up at 5am!
There’s a really great app called the ‘Sleep Cycle’ app, which monitors your sleep and will wake you up during the lightest point in your sleep cycle. I’ve used it for years and found that it really does help me to get more quality sleep.
I was fascinated at how interesting this was
I literally do that double sleep thing on the weekends cause I get up so early during the week I pass out like at 7pm on a Friday night, wake up around midnight or a little past, and I get up play some video games, get some food, take some dabs, then like around 4 or 5am go to sleep till like around 8 or 9
This dude is confirming all the tips it's taken me ages to learn on my own
"Thermal Dump" is my new band name nobody steal it.
"Stoned Ape" is still better.
I couldn't imagine going to sleep feeling cold..that's What keeps me up.
Regularity is key 100%, been going to sleep at 9 and waking up at half 5 for 2 years now and I’ve never felt better had a child during that time and it got a little tricky but back to it and it’s the right way to go.

doesn't joe rogan use hunter-gatherer a lot?

This man always appears happy and at peace. So this is how I know he sleeps great, every night.
I can’t even put a number on the amount of things I’ve learnt watching this podcast.
Great job joe. 😘😘
I’ve done all his recommendations, but I still can’t sleep.

Chuck Norris doesn't sleep; he waits...

3:15 yes, joe. that's exactly what he just said.

I would love your opinion on my situation. I have never ever been someone struggling with sleep. I have always been someone that could sleep 10-12 hours and not wake up ONE SINGLE time. There was a car crash once outside my window and I didn't even wake up till hours later. Recently in the pat few months, I suddenly can't sleep past 8:30am even though I have ALWAYS in my life gone to bed between 12-2am since like gr 9. Nothing has changed really and dont know why my sleeping has changed. I've tried everything you have said, melatonin, keeping room calm, not spending time in bed, no eating before, meditating, exercising 1 hour a day, no technology before bed and ITS still an ongoing issuee.. if anything, it is only getting worse and I feel like I have exhausted my options.
At one point in our life, we need less sleep. The key for you is to go to sleep earlier. However that is hard since you are used to going to sleep at certain time. You have to teach your body to go to sleep earlier in this phase of your life. Try setting your alarm even earlier-6 am. You'll see it is going to be very hard to wake up at that time for the first two weeks but later your body will crave more sleep after 6 am so you will go to sleep earlier. When your body gets used to waking up earlier, start setting your alarm at 8,30am again so that you go to sleep at the same time as before (when you were waking up at 6am) and tricking your body that way to get more sleep.
