How proud I was to watch you speak so eruditely, Lauren. I appreciated your conversational approach to a scientific topic regarding a phenomena we take for granted! I had never thought of the socio/economic effects of not getting enough sleep. Of course, tired children will not learn, and tired, harried adults will not be productive in the workplace. How in the world will we slow down our demanding and distracting existence? Congratulations, and I look forward to hearing more from you.
Very interesting! As someone who worked overnight for several years and tried to live a normal life on the weekends, I am all too well aware of the consequences of sleep deprivation. But I had never thought of it as a public health problem. And the reduction of melatonin from looking at a screen before (or while, in my case) trying to fall asleep? Uh-oh! Thanks, Dr. Hale, for the info and plenty to think about as I try to fall asleep tonight!
As someone with sleep apnea and on autopap therapy for many years, I'm glad to hear someone talking about the effects of sleep deprivation. But I can't help but think she's missing some key things, that many others have missed as well. Probably long sleepers are ones with sleep problems, like apnea, that motivate them to sleep more, trying desperately to get better caught up on sleep -- and that would skew the results about how long sleepers tend to be less healthy. Studies have shown that in 1900, adults slept 9-10 hours a night; it's possible that 7-9 hours is not really ideal. Also, sleep apnea tends to be inherited and does make it harder to function, especially untreated. That leads an adult to a lower socioeconomic class and raising kids who are then disadvantaged by both that and things like fewer bedtime stories. Building awareness of sleep disorders, getting more diagnosed and treated would go a long way to helping with this. I'm not keen on adding more regulations and the like; they tend to try to make more people fit in boxes that don't fit terribly well. The sleep hygiene stuff always makes me wince some as it just feels like hinting around the edges of the problem. If you wake up in a panic in the middle of the night, it may well be because you were having trouble breathing. It didn't have much to do with using a computer in the hour before you went to bed, really, as opposed to simply having the lights on then. Something like starting high school later probably does make sense, but increasing minimum wage doesn't seem particularly helpful, compared to getting people diagnosed, as needed, and then they can function better and get better jobs -- and improve themselves.
as social/economic inequality and class division is a terribly persistent and also increasing global problem, shining a light on perhaps the most important factor in health and well-being and how it relates to this problem would seem quite important and yet it is not discussed enough. so thanks for this, dr. hale.
Dr. Hale's work and her presentation focus on frequently disregarded implications of "not enough" sleep. The social implications are vast and the short term needs relate to everything from safety to productivity.
Exceptional presentation. Enlightening, particularly in regard to having one more clue that can help explain our health care and socioeconomic disparities in this country. Well done, Dr. Hale.
Great presentation of the problem, the data AND the solution. A lot to think about, both in terms of one's personal sleep habits and broader social issues.
Interesting. I’ve enjoyed many TED presentations in the past, but, Dr, Hale not only provides an intriguing and often underestimated issue, but she paces the presentation in a controlled and coherent fashion. Though, nearly all TED talks are fascinating, I often feel that many are unnecessarily rushed.
To sum this up. I can't sleep because...Racism. I'm so sleepy & uneducated I didn't even realize this until she wrote out the narrative for me. Thank you random lady who's speech I'm listening to when I should be sleeping. 😉🤦🏾♂️👌🏾
Fascinating presentation. Definitely gives one food for thought. (Okay, MAYBE I'll stop watching television before I go to bed. Maybe. And no computer screen time too? Oh boy.)
hope i am not destined to failure since i sleep 7 hours a day since i was 5 but have changed my sleeping habits from 7 to 5 or 6 hours and in this i feel like i should just consider suicide since many signs tell me that i am not worthy of having a good sleep and mostly a good healthy life which is all that life really matters.
Wow I wish I could meet or tlk to this lady. Because I feel like she was tlkn about me when it came to almost everything she was tlkn about. I need help
implementing policy to help with sleep deprivation well not be effective. Good sleep is widely dependent on personal choice for example, policy in regulating sleep apnea for truck drivers won't necessarily stop them from drinking too much coffee or starting ash cell phone before bed. same with high school students. delaying school start time will give them more of an excuse to not be responsible and they well just find things to do to stay up later.
Maybe some TED talks are boring & have nothing new to contribute. But many offer tremendous insights. Perhaps you just don't have the patience to listen to anyone talk for over ten minutes about anything.

Great presentation! Sleep is so important and does not receive enough public health or clinical attention.

I've suffered from insomnia since I was little. I had trouble doing bedtime with my kids because I worked a lot.
I love this talk and it is helpful for someone like me that has trouble sleeping.
Good job, Lauren.
May you send me the questions of this talk☺?
Fascinating talk!
We need to show society how ridiculous it is that they need the pointless feature of the car honking when they lock it with their car keys.
Great talk, lots of interesting information -- and an awesome presenter!

Correlation isn't the same thing as cause and effect.
