Sleep-Engineering: Improve Your Life By Manipulating Your Sleep | Penny Lewis | TEDxGrandRapids

- Опубліковано 2 лип 2015
- We spend 1/3rd of our life asleep, which suggests it is doing something very important. But, what is all of this for? And why does every animal species appear to need sleep? Based on the latest neuroscientific research Penny Lewis shows why sleep is thought to be critical for combining and restructuring memories, and thus to form the basis of creativity.
Penny (Penelope) Lewis is a neuroscientist at the University of Manchester, where she runs the Neuroscience and Psychology of Sleep (NaPS) lab. Her research investigates the role of sleep in strengthening and altering memories and the ways people can use this to their advantage. She is the author of The Secret World of Sleep, which has sold around 10,000 copies, and has written for a variety of popular science publications, including New Scientist, Scientific American and BBC Focus.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
3:29 Very informative video. Also, love the way she plays with her legs while communicating.
aboctok May be you're sleep deprived buddy :)... just kidding
+aboctok agreed.
AB dont think shes playing ..what ur seeing are the physical symptoms of RLS a debilitating disease suffered by far too many ..although its much worse in many other species caterpillars n centipedes having it worse than any of us:)
3:45, lady, although I find your silly play with the legs bearable, I have no words for the run in your pantyhose! Did I miss some new fashion trend or something?
jimarata wtf cut her some slack, don't distract from her message with her appearance lol
I loose sleep watching Ted Talks at night
Same
+Nightshade 03:50 you were saying
Did you learn that in the morning or at night? :3
😂👍
1:36 am and i am watching this video
For me it's the opposite, I suffer from hypersomnia. And it's really awful. There are people who suffer from hypersomnia who are much worse than me, but I can sleep on vacation for 17 hours and still feel tired. I also get a horrible headache from it and can't concentrate or think properly. And I've lost the ability to wake up on my own despite having multiple alarms, I can just walk to the other side of the room turn it down and go back to sleep. Often times, I don't want to sleep but still feel sleepy. I wish I could get rid of this condition.
Are you mouth breathing? Try a little piece of tape on the middle your lips. You could breathe out the side if you were congested.
I'm in the headache club, too. I've had that decrease with the bit of tape. Sleep on your side. Do you have sleep apnea? Where you wake up gasping?
Eat for the last time in the afternoon. Skip dinner.
Are you ADD? Coffee might make you tired if so.
I take sleep seriously. That's why I always make sure I get at least 14 hours a day.
C861986 im not sure why i cant get more than 24 hours of sleep per day. and im trying hard
+GuyI9000 If you're awake enough to type comments on UA-cam, you're not trying hard enough!
C861986 i only get 4 hours of sleep per day so...
I try to as well. Earplugs, eye mask, cozy socks....
Now there you go!!
That was one misleading video description!
Only ‘manipulation’ given was for victims of trauma, and now (nearing 2021) would have liked some empirical data showing it to be effective at least for that narrow use-case.
Sept 2020. Memory of the day is replayed during the sleep. Problems are solved during the sleep
REM sleep is a dream of mine.
Yah mee too, basically got to do with alcohol consumption before bed.
No emilia
Haha 😜
Massage helped me once
I hate how u didn't get my joke. I was so proud of it
I wish she'd talk more about how to go about actually improving your sleep rather than sharing results of previous studies.
Darshan Shah ,I have a method.
You are doing a great job, don't mind any of the joking comments. I could imagine, that it is comments like those, that have made your body feel vulnerable. I trust your being is recognized by those meeting you. Thank you :)
Thank you !!!
Can't people be so mean !
i can feel her passion about science so much
This presentation in itself was sleep inducing. Good night people.
loolll
hahahaha
hilarious!!!!!! buajajajajajajajajjajaajjajaajj really great comment!
Great talk. I could listen to her all day. And night, as it seems to be.
well-sleeping is the MOST important life practice....and one of the hardest to be achieved! thanx for the ideas here.
Such a succinct talk. Much easier to recall information on what she explained even days later.
I have been listening to sound waves for motivation and anxiety relief lately at nights and i feel much better the day after... seeing this proves what i have been doing is scientifically proven
Has it made any improvement and are you doing it now also?
Pls reply, even I want to start
I found this tedtalk very informative, also, am I the only one who found her very adorable with her foot movements & all?
@Ranjit Tyagi Yes brother.. It was pretty irritating of her moving her legs in such a zig-zag manner for me as well.
.
.
Dear Amar,
Isn't really amazingly captivating to witness how we people are naturally used to possessing varied opinions over different things we perceive around us ?
🤗
❤
Ya her wiggly girly leg movements are childlike
Ranjit Tyagi imagine being in the front row
This made me wonder about the relationship between EMDR treatment for trauma and slow wave sleep.
- Someone I can't remember the name of said : "night is to have sleep, day is to rest".
eric simon 😂😂
8:10 Being a puano player this absolutely killed me, because in our musical language thumb is the first finger and pinki is the fifth.
Does this mean you're a " pianist ?"
As almost always, this tedtalk is only about idea and not about how to start making the idea real/put it into practice. I'm so upset about it. "A little less conversation, a little more action, please"
Make a Ted Talk about it
Bernardo Modenesi è vero. Dopo un quarto d'ora spereresti di poter mettere in pratica qualcosa di nuovo e invece...
aboctok Yes but that's a little like telling all your friends to buy the book you're reading, but you just got to page 10. Wait for when you really have something to say.
aboctok Haha that's great! I missed your point because I did not understand the last sentence, thus couldn't get the irony
Totally my point, there is not much of new material here.
“I need to sleep on this..” is Awesome!
Very informative. At the end the pillow solution sounds fabulous.
her leg movements are just awesome
Really good talk, I love what she said about the association thing. I've heard that's very helpful with learning other languages and stuff too.
Interesting but not practical, which was what I was hoping for
Its called "Tedtalk" how about becoming practical yourself? I usually always read something before going to sleep, it helps alot at memorizing things.
And so you got exactly what you hoped for!
Do you read what you want to memorize or something that is easy to read?
ben Heisenberg Look up "Imagination Creates Reality" by Neville Goddard and follow his techniques. He knew about it long before what science iz barely catching onto.
I'm not finding anything from Goddard about HOW to go to sleep in his writings or lectures... he just keeps saying imagine what you want to be real BEFORE you go to sleep...
Thanks for this information!
I understand that improvement of traumatic memories. It seems that if you go or the moment of trauma by writing down the memory of it's triggers it is much easier to overcome than if you squelch or try to suppress the memories, which just come back in some tortured, altered form.
I noticed several years ago that I would make significant improvements overnight. I'd practice and practice something and not get much better during the day. Like juggling or playing piano. I could practice for several hours and slowly get a little bit better, but once awakening the next day I would be far better and make similarly small improvement that day, and then be much better after sleeping. I noticed this as a teenager. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
A brilliant talk. Very informative informative.
Penny Lewis, Thank you very much. An excellent talk, filled with information not generally known and presented exceptionally well. I paid close attention and was not bored or distracted for one single moment. Wish all the talks were as good. Thank you again.
have learnt alot, God bless you
i wonder if this is sarcastic
Very interesting. Keep up the good work
Wow, deep down inside i believed these things already and used to tell my friends about the same. But can't tell the solid reason behind them. Now i have the link to share with them.
Thanks for this
This is fascinating. I want to understand the mechanics of the cosmological process and I think I've had a number of symbolic dreams that seem to explain it to me.
Interesting insight to sleep and behavior control/results.
Bravo.
Distracting Mannerisms and their effect on audience attention:....new title for this video
what is the conclusion?
and what we have to hear while sleeping?
Awesome TedTalk, thanks!
I love this video, it made a lot of sense to me. I think the key here is: Think of the tragic event in your life which while you're awake and you think about it makes you extremely upset. If this event makes you un easy, anxious, triggered etc.. then this is the event you'd want to disassociate with our emotions. These overwhelming emotions that cause us harm. So if in that event you had for example a film of it, or recording. Set it to be played at a certain time after you sleep or ask someone to play it for you about 2 hours after you go to sleep. Not too loud so it won't wake you I believe but loud enough so that your subconscious can pick it up. This is how I perceive it to work from watching this video good luck to all!
Greatly enjoyed this TEDx Talk. Furthermore.. :D I think Penny is delightful. :)
Many TED takjs are useless. But she not only give important lifehacks but also tries to do something useful to humanity!
Omg yes. One leg wants to dance and the other stand still. She did great!!
great talk thank's insipred a practical idea
Sleep and disorders require a cross disciplinary approach. An illuminating talk !
It's curious that most comments are really negative.
Well, I personally loved the talk.
It might not appear very practical, but I still enjoyed it and definitely came across some new details about how sleep works.
Great topic and beautiful necklace!
LOVE It great info . isochronic tones ! I use for various waves wether it be delta or beta I've battled sleep an insomnia all my life and meditation an tones an binaural beats have truly improved my quality of sleep wich in return has played a strategic role in my recovery from myself.
Great research! Would love to try and buy the results from this research..
i play calm soothing music (Zen) when sleeping, feels refreshed n energetic the next day. Able to think rationally before an action or a conversation,
Very informative!
Excellent video! Dr. Lewis clearly explains how learning can occur during the evening. The video helps me understand from a scientific standpoint how a musician can somehow play an instrument without constantly looking at the piano keyboard or the guitar neck. The brain needs time to learn, and it will..... as long as we allow our brains to be connected with content knowledge during the day and to "make progress" during our sleep. When acquiring knowledge, progress is a sequential process of days and nights. Therefore, time is a crucial factor in learning processes. Dr. Lewis, thank you for an excellent video. Thank you, TED.
Her legs😂😂, she has her own unique leg dance.
Tyrion Lannister lol
rofl
its like she has an autonomous leg (self-governing)
CLS crazy leg syndrone....I enjoyed the talk though
How to do the stanky legg
Shoutout to the interpreter at 3:56, we love to see it
I look at my math homework before going to bed, when I wake up I know the answers.
kiren Hinds me too. except my homework isnt done...
It doesn't require sleep, that also works if you just look at the work and then come back to it later. This is one of the reasons why it's such a good idea to take a look at the work as soon as you get it and solve all the ones you can.
The brain has what some folks refer to as defuse mode where things like that get solved. I find that taking a walk often times gives me insights into problems I can't solve.
Hi you sleeping educational la patronage Corte correction

Quite engaging talk. Love the idea to level up our sleep quality.
I will go ahead and will test this idea. So, I want to complete design of my notes system in Google Keep, picking right labels and colors in a way it fits best, so I can always keep and find my ideas with maximum eaze. And I'm writing about this problem and listening to "rain with occasional thunderstorm" sounds and going to turn it sound again at night.
Questions I have: how can we practically define the time when the associative sounds should be played?
Hey Penny nice to see you again
Super interesting
Very interesting talk!
This was really an eyes opening speech. I simply enjoy sleeping as when I wake up I always feel refresh and usually my problems are simpler when I wake up. It is nice to ear that I am considered normal according to here standard. My secret is no medications and no attempts to try improving artificially what is going on for me. It is nice to see how far the research on sleeps has advanced. I strongly believe that helping people having sleeping disorders regaining the pleasure to sleep should be the focus for now. This is already plenty which can do so much good. The cleanup of toxines occurring only while sleeping seem so important as there is so much toxins created by the addictive processed food that we keep eating. Thank you for sharing. Next time I sleep I will filter out some of my negative attitude on that topic which make me believe that some companies will try to prematurely sell products based on pseudo science on the topic. Thank you for sharing and have a pleasant day.
Sorry friend, I couldn't get you
Did you say that what she said is all fake but seems true, (pseudoscience)
Pls reply and provide clarity
Thank you friend for trying to share information
It's not disassociating from scary memories, it's processing them more, so we can get past them.
Thank you.
powerful words.
8:50 Deceptive y-axis alert! 🚨
However, she gets a pass because this is a good talk and she acknowledged the actual degree of improvement. 👍🏼
I call the technique I use "Programmed Sleep Meditation." I read about Thomas Edison using a version of it and decided to try it out. I find it helps me get through learning blockages, solve pesky problems and deal with emotions more effectively. I'm glad there are sleep professionals looking into it as well.
If you are here watching after 2am and you can never sleep prior to that time, look up Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. You're welcome.
omg thank you
And also look up circadian rhythm and get it aligned so you dont have the disorder in the 1st place
Excellent!
Thank you
I liked this talk , I know how important is sleeping , its a clear concept of being productive every day, when we talk about of leadership generaly we talk about of motivation, and energy etc, but sleeping plays an important part on it.
Talking about this talk it was good , she gave it to us like a teacher in school, she was funny on certaint part of the talk, the funiest part was "el demonio" who was playing music. The shotting sound was a bad example. at the end of this talk I gave her 8/10. Nice.
I did see the descriptions of the recorded brain waves of a person at sleep very interesting. I do replay difficult situations in my dreams, I suppose trying to resolve the problems.
Making this simple for my dummies -
If we were cars. Sleep will be our three month monthly servicing (tire rotation, oil change, tune up, liquid flush/topoff). 1
If we were phones. Sleep will be daily maintenance (charging, system cleanse, software updates).
I jumped of my chair in excited way(I related something to myself at 14:25 ) so we dissociate emotions from that memory and that's why a great urge arises inside me even in daytime(because I sleep very rarely at daytime) when something happens to me which didn't made me happy.
0:35 "I'm hoping this talk will be sort of a wakeup call. . ."
And I was like "WHY ISN'T NONE OF THOSE ASSHOLES LAUGHING AT THAT PUN?"
When in actuality it was so boring it cured people's insomnia and they finally fell asleep
41324 I experienced this heavily !!!! well learning guitar I would play for hours on end eventually my performance would state decreasing when I woke up the next day it was like a massive jump in progress! so noticeable undeniable I have been aware of this for 15 years .
A little short on to-do-now advice, but intriguing and promising concepts, and I will look for resulting advances from this research.
Careful how you control your mind. It can be powerful, and it can help you to adapt to what's actually happening when your body/brain doesn't quite understand; but be sure to remember that your body does things for a reason. Sometimes, something you think is pointless could be saving your life. But sometimes, your brain reacts to a situation that it misunderstood to be very different. Be cautious, but not afraid.
Many people like i don't know about sleep and why it's important to us so I think it's good video

There needs to be a TED talk about Polyphasic Sleep
Now that apple watches hold the capability to track sleep, we can build an app that would facilitate that metronome or sound (whatever it may be) using the watch or an IoT device.
Could be a fairly simple API if someone built it out. I could def use that
brilliant
Thank you 😇🤗🙂
Was anyone else a little disturbed when she played the clip of the shooting?
Extremely
+Ronald Monroe Ed Tick has a book called THE PRACTICE OF DREAM HEALING. The shooting was not as loud as the movies. The sound helps PTSD.
I think that was the point.
Point extremely pointed.
thanks for the warning!
Very useful. As I suffered Insomnia, since my teens. Now at 70, bit depressing to know that as we grow old, we cant sleep. What to
Do???
Penelope Lewis much ❤️
This is exciting but what a tease it is Upon reading the title, I had hope that I might be afforded.some tools.which I could utilise straightaway !🏇
This was awesome!
I have insomnia so this helps me a lot
The high picked cracking sound, sounds very similar to fire crackling, I guess our ancestors used to sleep next to fire and that noise is evolutionary better
Extremely interesting, excellently presented ... and not a bad-looking presenter either;)
Very interesting
thanks!
Didn't have the time to learn how to pronounce but yet I listen to it all.
9:40 Interesting bit here; I've always suspected deep sleep/slow-wave sleep is responsible for memory consolidation and REM being responsible for more creative-associative kind of learning memory.
I was waiting for the part where she shared something useful about manipulating our sleep. Something to help with insomnia!
Try the wimhof breathing technique, it only takes 10-15 mins of your complete attention
it works for me and i have an insomia too. Now i dont anymore. Its gone.
skip to 6 minutes..
skip youtube
Skippy all natural peanut butter.
aboctok there is one.
Skip skipping. It's a good video ;^D
skip ur mom
watching this at 3:40 a.m.
here 3:18am
3:59am
1:23 pm here
04:34, rookies
lol well played
everything and anything affects sleep so manipulating it is really a herculean task.. thanks, this gives me an idea before hitting the sack.
anything new after three years???
I suspect people complaining about the practicality of these ideas are expecting to be spoon fed everything. And do not realise how the process of science actually works.
I find the talks more interesting when they actually have something to show for their effort
Or made the mistake of taking the title seriously.
brillian undestanding Bruce! first must come new insights and science discoveries,then those discoveries must be turned into practice by developing techniques,methodologies or technologies to get the real-life desired results....and it takes time! and it is alwys fine to know more about our brain functioning,even in such state where we have no control over it....
15:58 that look tho
Everyone download f.lux app onto your computer. It filters the blue light out of your screen after a specified time.
It decreases blue light...
windows 10 has this option built in...
About the clicks, that's probably why I enjoy listening to the mechanical clock on my wall
nope
It's 4:40am and I'm watch a Ted talk about sleep
