Matt always finds a reason to reuse that clip of him sprinting and eating, it's great
I wonder: How is that he can run so fast?
Hahahah true!
This is peak productivity.
He's the fastest kid alive 😂
Seen it so many times now .... still smiling every time :D
Matt doesn't use a pillow. He lays his head on his biceps
all jokes aside, Matt you've inspired me so much. I recently started filming self development videos thanks to you. Keep up the great quality 🔥

Takeaways:
1. Do not consume caffeine 10hrs before sleep
2. Get 8 hours of sleep, not 8 hours in bed -go to bed 1hr before you want to be asleep.
3. don’t look at screens 1hr before going to bed, 2hrs before “sleep”
4. control the amount of liquid you consume before you go to sleep
5. leave a sleep mask by your bedside for the last hour of sleep
thx so much!
People who do this r always in the comment section. Thx
3 rules:
1. No caffeine 10 hrs before bed
2. At least 8 hours of sleep (does not mean 8 hours in bed)
3. No screens 1 hour before bed
You're welcome, have a great day :)

that's why I actually clicked on the video so quickly - I usually add videos to my watch later queue and forget about them 😪😪 but I really need this ..
Yes I'm in the same boat. I've been extra tired lately.

True, but in my case I go to bed hopeful and wake up in despair lol
I agree! Sleep makes my entire day.
I love the fact is that I find you in every self-development video
God, I see you everywhere!
I highly encourage everybody to read his book. Its very informative and will show you the power of sleep.
Who else is watching this right before bed & losing sleep because of it 😂😂
Me lol
Well I was

Also while drinking coffee... 2hrs before bedtime
Literally
The best investment I’ve ever made is a Bluetooth sleeping mask. Truly has changed my life. 1) It blacks out any possible light and 2) I listen to an audiobook, usually something I’ve already read. On audible you can set a timer for it to stop and I’m gone before the 15 minutes are up.
I’ve been a chronic insomniac for years and this is the only thing that has ever worked for me, it even makes me excited to go to sleep to carry on with the book!
But it's Bluetooth and it's basically on your head which as far as I know is not very healthy
If it works for you, then it's ok.

I'm 28 now, and I've been struggling with insomnia for so many years, mostly because of bad habits. I just read the book Why We Sleep. It was life changing! This is my third week that I've slept every single night of the week (I used to have at least one night a week with 0 hours of sleep).
I'm not sleeping all 7-8 hours yet, but that's my goal. Having slept every single night for the past 21 days is a great start.
Sounds amazing dude. Keep it up!

Bro, just get blackout curtains. Sleeping in a pitch black room is how you gotta do it for optimal, uninterrupted sleep. You'll thank me later.
These are the best! Especially in summer bc it's just too bright outside and I can't sleep well without a black room
It makes it hard to wake up in the morning for me though
@@LivingListed Same here, for me blackout curtains do make it easier to fall asleep, but waking up is hard, first thing I gotta do is hop out of the bed and open the curtains to let the sun wake me up.
@@countach27 I have blackout curtains as well and this is where smart lighting is key. I not only set an audio alarm, but a light alarm too. My lights will slowly fade on 20 minutes before my alarm and I notice I'm noticeably more alert when I finally get out of bed.

Why We Sleep - is one of my favourite ever books since I read it last year. It's like an encyclopedia on everything that we know about sleep to date. I've recommended it to so many friends since then and every single one of them has agreed that it's changed their life as well.
It's nice that you enjoyed the book, but just be wary of the validity of its factual evidence. I would recommend u read this article:
guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/
I could’ve used this 12 hours ago. I was tossing and turning from 2am to 6:30am, and finally fell asleep for 3 hours.
Thanks for sharing! Sleep has been a struggle for most people and it is so important for mental and physical health. Good tips!
Anything: *exists*
Matt: Imma need a rule for that

Eye mask straps dig into my skin and hurt ... I have found that a simple heavy t-shirt thrown over my face works wonderfully. I simply adjust it above my mouth and the darkness it provides really makes a difference. Also .. in winter ... I have short hair and it keeps my head wonderfully warm too ... I literally cannot sleep without it now ....

“Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker was one of the most life changing books I’ve ever read, if you’ve read it I highly suggest you also go listen to Joe Rogans podcast with Matthew Walker, it’s valuable information..
Adding it to my list right now! Thanks.
For whatever reason, Matthew Walker would appear to have intentionally misrepresented studies, omitted important data and in certain cases just completely made stuff up. His book is full of errors intentional or otherwise. I say this as someone who was a big fan of that book. I was disappointed to discover the shoddy nature of his 'scientific' writing.
Just one example alone, in chapter 1, Walker claims that routinely sleeping 6 hours or less per night 'doubles your cancer risk' the actual study shows that the chance of cancer for sleeping for that amount of time is actually closer to 1 percent (you have to round up to get to 1 percent). There are many more examples of his bad science.
guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/
I didn't like his book. He goes way too often into details about things you just don't care about. Most of the things he mentions you already know if you did a small amount of research beforehand.
Matt: "Rule #1"
Screen: "Rule #2"
Me: "Did I get enough sleep last night?"
I was about to point that out. I seriously can't stop staring at it
Matt: Don't pull all-nighters and get healthy amounts of sleep
Me: who sleeps from 10pm to 10am every day
😴😴😴
H...ho...how

When I was chronic sleep deprived, I had social anxiety to a point to where I would avoid interactions with not only people but my friends. Depression was my new identity. Emotionally unstable, lost, very forgetful, hopeless, ate once a day or none, tired all the time, just a total mess of a person. But now sine this lockdown, I was able to make sleep my priority and I felt like a whooooooole new person.
On my first day of QUALITY sleep, I was confused as to where the negative thoughts was. I had more energy, confident in my goals, more sociable, consistent with my eating habits/less craving for junk food, just finally felt like me. So, yea get your QUALITY sleep, and don't sacrifice it for nothing. Still don't know how I function and accomplish things on crappy sleep.
Still going well?
@@jakehemingway9603 Yea, since I've been tracking it, I also see that QUALITY sleep is waaaay important than quantity sleep. Case in point, when I don't do my night time ritual, but still get my 8 hours, I still feel like crap or "normal". BUT when I follow my night time ritual, even if I don't get 8 hours, I still feel great, and able to tackle the day. Major difference that shocked me. The big 1's to get that QUALITY sleep are turn electronics off 2 hours or 1 and a half hours before bed, black out room early, keep it cool. If you can do those 3, you will see a MAJOR difference in how you feel, act, think
Higher hourly wage is an underrated tip for better sleep.

@@JonathanG1103 tell that to capitalists
mihai gallo most of them got the memo.
I remember the period when I wasn't getting a full night of sleep I used to interrupt the night to work for few houres until the sun rise then sleep again. I started feeling an enormous fatigue, Tachycardia,deep under-eye circles and bad mood...it was from that experience when I realised how much sleep was important
Am I weird the way I can just “go to sleep” I mean I can literally fall asleep anywhere in about 2mins so idk haha 😂
Lucky you
You may have narcolepsy
That's a major sign of chronic sleep deprivation.
That’s either good or bad depends on how you look at it

Great video and excellent advice. I’d add going to sleep reasonably early too. It’s not just how long you sleep for but when you sleep. If you go to sleep at 2am every night but sleep 8 hours, that’s not the same as going to sleep earlier. I always used to sleep 8.5 hours but go to bed late and I always felt tired. I just started going earlier and I feel so much better even though I’m getting the same amount of sleep.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how crucial sleep is to our immune system, metabolism, learning etc. This thought has been a driver in helping me commit to a healthy sleeping habit. …and thanks for this timely reminder Matt.
The best sleep is when your partner is getting ready while you get to sleep in.

Posted this to my wellness facebook group. Thanks for making this, Matt!
Sleep is so important!!! What sucks is ppl at my school seem to act like it isn't, at all. My one friend just can't sleep and so it really isn't her fault, but at the same time she takes no actions to try to fix it. My cousin, (around my age) says he pulls all nighters all the time playing video games and at most gets 6 hrs of sleep a night. Kids literally get praised at school when they says they're sleep schedule is messed up. Sleep and I do not get along, but I'm doing my best to try to change that. I'm hopi g that eventually I won't have troubles with it. A huge help is my doctor said I have to eat every 2 hrs when I'm awake, (long story I don't feel like explaining) and so I don't pull all nighters anymore because then I'd be eating 2x than a normal day. Ik it's ok to have cheat days and all that, but 2x the amount of a normal day is a little to much for me.
Rule #3 is big. One of the easiest ways I've improved my sleep is having a timer go off for when I should start preparing for bed. Then, also making sure that once I enter my room, the phone goes off and is only used as an alarm. Having that separation prevents me from staying on my phone for the rest of the night and focus on sleeping tight!

B Roll getting better and better! Thanks for being an inspiration
I seriously love this channel and this guy. He’s productive yet so real it makes me connect with him more
I stopped using my phone before sleep and first thing in the morning, and I can say it made the biggest difference. what i found extremely helpful is turning off wifi (or data) so i don't get any notifications that could distract me (trust me, if it's something very important, a person will text or call you, so you're actually not missing out on anything). instead, i read 30 mins to 1 hour before sleep, but you can also do other things like solving crossword, drawing, journaling etc.
hopefully someone finds this helpful :)
After I read digital minimalism from Cal Newport, I muted vibration and sound for 95% of my apps. And only some apps even appear in my notifications. Most don't even show up on my lock screen. This has helped me tremendously to cut the habit of reaching for the phone when it vibrates. Calls and messages show up on my smart watch and vibrate the phone. Messengers and communicators don't make a sound. I check them when I unlock my phone. If there is something urgent, people can call me.
Works like a charm.
@@Django45 great tip!
Being in bed for 8 hours and naturally sleeping in about 30 mins is not bad because it is better if we sleep in sleep cycles and one sleep cycle consists of 90 mins each so therefore you get 5 complete sleep cycles which is enough.
I swear by the Sleep Cycle app. Not sure how it knows when to wake my body up, but that black magic works!
it probably tracks your sleep and doesnt wake you up in your deep sleep.
Thank you for making this video, Matt! Being a medical student who routinely used to sleep around 4-5 hours a night, this book completely changed my perspective and sleep has become a priority. It's scary, how little we are taught about the detrimental effect that too little sleep may have on our bodies, and I can't recommend this book highly enough. Dr. Walker does a great job at distilling complex concepts into easily understandable chunks and uses plenty of examples from his practice and studies while also citing all the sources. I appreciate you having taken the time to make a video about this topic
«Why we sleep» book is great! It contains so many interesting facts, that after some time you just can't ignore the importance of a good night sleep anymore. And with the help of this book I've discovered that I need 11 (!) hours in bed to get all the rest I need. My first thought was «Wow, that's crazy», but when I continued to follow through with this healthy routine I quickly realized that I'm so much more productive and creative.
it's like you already know that I have a lack of sleep problem. It's something I havent prioritized and I know it has negatively impacted my work
Hello Matt! Given that the sleep cycle is 90 minutes, I've heard it's best to sleep 7.5 or 9 hours a day. Not 8. This way you don't break the cycle and wake up fresh.
Loved your Netflix documentary by the way.
Best
Everyone's cycle is different.
I remember reading a study/ watch a video about different studies, I'm not too sure 😂😂😂. They test different methods of sleep and it's still best to stick with a set sleep schedule: go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time everyday. Everybody is different and at the end of the day, as long as you wake up and feel rest, thats the most important thing. My fiancé only needs around 6 hours to feel rest while I need at least 7 to actually function normally.
anyone else realise the pun of how matt is trying to WAKE US UP to the benefits of sleep?...no? just me? okay..
Lmao i was going to write the same haha
Hey Matt, despite that you haven't reinvented the wheel here, you really hit the nail on the head (wow, I'm rocking the idioms today ^^). I like, that you put everything in short digestable videos without making it to much about yourself but also not to much as if you were preaching! I like that balance a lot!
After I graduated from University, I 'hated' reading. I studied English, Communication & Media and had to read a lot of boring stuff, that felt unrelevant to me personally...I'm sure a lot of people can relate. But I used to love thrillers and romances and fantasy books and had to relearn enjoying to read even those. And the only way I could do that was to read every night before going to bed. This was the only moment I allowed myself to spent time doing "nothing" because reading felt a lot like a waste of time for me. But slowly I got back into it and now I can't even go to bed without reading at least a page. What does that have to do with the whole sleeping topic? I knew that I'd need 30 min to an hour to fall asleep anyways and reading often times made me sleepy in University, so I it was the most logical thing to do before bed. I'm not only reading 100% more than a year ago, but am also almost always falling asleep immediately after my head hits the pillow :D That's my sleep story, Greats from Germany!
Lately I’ve started reading Mindfulness in Plain English every night. It’s an interesting and well written book about a soothing topic. Sometimes just a few pages puts me right to sleep :)
I didn’t even know the science behind how coffee affected my body until this video...thanks Matt!

@@danialhakimi9740 welcome to the club! 😅
I just purchased a weighted blanket. I never have trouble sleeping, just wanted to try something new. The reviews mentioned they helped with insomnia. I also bought bamboo sheets, and they have a nicer cooler feel, so could possibly help those with sleeping issues. 100% natural. Best!
I've suffered with insomnia and tried the no screens thing.; but the fact I was actively trying to avoid screens at a certain time gave me anxiety. Now, I just try to stay off social media - I watch a tv show and by nearly falling asleep to it I am then ready for bed. Has helped my sleep problems so much.
Matthew Walker quote (00:32) made me scared to the core 😰; my worries demolished by the end of the video 😁! Thanks Matt!
FYI do your own research!! There are other comments noting a source that say the quote is based off a study that actually said 1% increase ... Not 50%
FFA - Thanks for the extra information! Though even increasing your risk of cancer by a further 1% can still be detrimental to health...
@@HistorymadeFun Yes, and everytime you cross the street or drive a vehicle you increase your risk for a serious accident. Yet somehow I doubt that stops you.
FFA: True; I'd like to think I pay a certain increased level of attention toward crossing the road - thanks to Matt, the same goes to sleep now... 😀

Matt!! I have a boxed blind curtain that blocks practically all the sunrise light and my sleep has improved a lot, it is even deeper now. I read the book in May and put the curtain on last month, and I definitely don't drink coffee, not even in the morning, because after lunch, sometimes I take a nap too, as Matthew also indicates. A hug! I loved knowing that we share the same habits and concerns, God bless you. If you wanna know more about the blind curtain, call me, I can send you a photo for you to look in L.A.
Thanks, now i can relate to all the points, just started following below since a month and now i get 1.5-2.5 hours of deep sleep everyday out of 7-8 hours of sleep. the amazing relaxing feeling of waking up after a good night sleep, i feel like a school going student again, not to mention having dreams again regularly feels great, earlier without these rules i rarely got dreams.
- no water or beverages after 8 PM, i try to take water in max in afternoon 2 -2.5 litres intermittently
- No screens after 9 PM, some reading or reading books to daughter,
- On bed by 11 PM ,
- Wake up naturally b/w 6:30-7:30am feeling fresh & without any anxiety or thoughts.
Also started practicing meditation & yoga in the morning, vegetarian diet, limited social media, 8k steps/day etc which helps in overall positivism & well being

His eyes where closed a few days ago in the thumbnail I swear!!!
Bro, coffee doesn't just "block your *I need to sleep* feeling", yes it take the spot in the receptors but that causes this:
Caffeine's effect on the brain causes increased neuron firing. The pituitary gland senses this activity and thinks some sort of emergency must be occurring, so it releases hormones that tell the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline (epinephrine). Adrenaline is the "fight or flight" hormone, and it has a number of effects on your body:
-Your heart beats faster.
-Blood pressure rises.
-The liver releases sugar into the bloodstream for extra energy.
-Muscles tighten up, ready for action. etc
Last time I had a cup of coffee was like over 25 years ago. Maybe that is why I sleep a lot and well.
8 hours sleep every night is non-negotiable to me. The world can end but I will sleep 8 hours to be able to be productive the following day.
Not looking at a screen can be solved in a beautiful way. Read poetry before you go to bed. Your dreams will thank you in the future.
My suggestion is to have a completely dark room to sleep. A full blackout works like magic. You won’t be able to wake up during the night.
Just wanted to add, Matt is such an inspiring guy. He doesn't just talk about improvement, he sets the example. Everybody needs a friend like Matt
