  • This is episode 5 of our 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and the host of The Matt Walker Podcast. In this episode, we explain the connection between sleep and mood, emotional regulation and mental well-being.
    We explain the role of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in processing emotions and emotional memories and why sleep deprivation causes agitation, impulsivity and emotional reactivity.
    We also discuss why sleep disruption is a hallmark feature of PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicidality, and other psychiatric conditions.
    We explain protocols for improving REM sleep and other sleep phases in order to harness the therapeutic power of quality sleep to feel calmer and emotionally restored.
    This episode describes various actionable tools to improve sleep for those struggling with mental health or mood and those wanting to bolster their overall state and well-being.
    The next episode in this special series explores dreams, including lucid dreaming, nightmares and dream interpretation.

So valuable to be able to pass on to people the tools to manage their sleep and overall health WITHOUT needing to resort to medications in most cases.

      It's rare, not gonna lie mate. But the place I work at is great cause we cover all aspects of health not just medications.
      Don't get me wrong, sometimes drugs are rhe best option, for some people in some cases. But for those who are motivated to sort out their own health without them, I'm all for trying every option available to us to help them get fit and healthy on their own. End of the day, getting them well, getting them healthy and happy, that's the goal - I just feel meds are not the gold standard for most of those aims, I feel we can do better than just sticking them on meds and leaving them to continue being unaware of their power over their own health.

    • @Cathy-xi8cb
      @Cathy-xi8cb 21 день тому +2

      Then you must be ignoring the fact that the majority of insomniacs will seek medication over behavioral strategies in large numbers. This is not good, but it is reality. People find behavioral strategies effortful. They find pills easy. The only way they opt for behavioral strategies is if their conditions contraindicate meds, they have severe side effects from them, or they cannot afford them. They have to be more afraid of meds to avoid wanting them.

    • @Jamie_Wilson
      @Jamie_Wilson 21 день тому +1

      @Cathy-xi8cb No your completely right actually, I agree fully with that.
      It's tough because alot of people aren't really interested in fixing their sleep naturally, because like you say it takes effort and often requires a few days before you get thr effect. Sleeping tablets do work quickly, you have to admit that in all honesty. But it's not a good solution in almost all cases.
      Sometimes I'll recommend a mild sleeping aid for a few days to help people reset their sleep regularity somewhat, you know like to help get them to fall asleep at a set time in the hopes that their circadian rhythm will sync up and they naturally fall asleep easier after a few days on the meds. Sometimes I'll recommend a short course of melatonin for the same reason. But as a long term solution its just more problems than its worth in my opinion.

    • @artblob
      @artblob 21 день тому +2

      As a chronic (around 15 ish yrs long period) insomniac myself, I do sort of agree with the statement about picking meds over behaviour.
      I can't speak for everyone, but for me this following is true:
      A person needs to function in everyday life. Pills provide just enough to be able to manage that. But a person with insomnia tends to have other conditions, either mental or physical health related. And to deal with those, often more difficult issues you need multiple things:
      - The awareness of what is going on, or even that there is something going on in your brain or body that needs fixing
      -the will to fix it, despite it being challenging
      - an environment which allows for this transitional time, where one works oneself (maybe at the cost of performance or social expectations).
      While I am able to work on my health currently, I wasn't able to, despite wanting for the longest time.
      I imagine there is many people, who lack one or multiple factors.
      At least that's what I think

      @Iza0187 18 днів тому

      I like what Huberman said about using the body as a starting point rather than trying to solve the emotional/mental problems with a emotional/mental approach. (I'm not quoting him exactly just the principle.) Maybe the most useful thing to do would be to learn to relax the body. I highly recommend Jon Kabat Zinn's bodyscan mindfulness meditation practice for this. Especially the 45m versions in his app: JKZ. They are incredibly compassionate Non Sleep Deep Rest type exercises. Everyone is different, but sometimes when trauma has made normal sleep impossible, rest and relaxation can be the route back. Some types of trauma can even make the process of relaxation feel frightening, because it doesn't feel safe to relax and so the vicious circle continues as the relaxation itself becomes a trigger to go on alert again. I have no idea if this is your experience or not. I'm just a person with my own set of experiences and an opinion. But perhaps these bodyscans are something you can try. It fits with what we've been hearing in this podcast series nicely. You do need to pay for this app, but it is really really worth it for the way the bodyscans are worded. If you can't afford it you can email them and ask for access. EMDR is also great therapy, but it isn't the only one. CBT as a stand alone treatment is not always appropriate for CPTSD. Peter Walker's book from surviving to thriving is very validating for people with CPTSD from childhood, but I'm not sure how helpful it would be for someone who was traumatized later in life. It is very good though. I can't recommend the JKZ bodyscans enough! Jon Kabat Zinn is the most straightforward way into a mindfulness practice for westerners, with no experience of meditation or relaxation practices, he's very no-nonsense and deeply compassionate and it's nice and safe to listen to. (They were designed for stress reduction, not for trauma per se. and I have absolutely no medical training of any kind.. so do please use your own judgement like Huberman always says!) A good therapist is also invaluable. And I just want to encourage you by saying that even though you have been suffering for a long time, that does not mean that it will always have to be this hard. (I hope I didn't overstep any boundaries with this long answer, but your story touched me and I wanted to share my advice and hope with you. I hope it gives you a nice feeling even if you ignore all my advice!)

    These talks with Dr. Matt Walker has been the most useful thing for sleep I've found so far. I've been doing sleep restriction for a week and my mood/cognitive function is already better. I am a bit tired but my sleep has improved a lot. I usually do a 20 min nap. Most of the time, I can't wait to go to bed. Hopefully I can take even more control of my sleep with this practice.

      I may be dyslexic... I am not sure how my brain works.
      But I've always been aware of the importance of emotions and how it affects memory. I can map whole terrains of knowledge in my head, and hone in on things. Like hearing 2 crickets in the grass I can make connections. Concepts or words give a sensation like emotion inside my mind, thus I find possible correlations between things when they feel familiar to each other.
      I don't need to remember every bit all the time. I do have an efficient memory too though and can recall detail. It's a unique system not quite like 99% of other people. I haven't met many like me.
      I always question if I am different, or if I'm just hyper aware of processes every other human has. Then I remember I am never going to grow taller than 5'2" and realize genetics is a possibility. Lol

    Dr. Huberman, I watched your episode with Dr. Chris Palmer. The main takeaway from that episode was that low-carb/keto diets do help with various mental illnesses. However, one of the major drawbacks of these diets is that they result in insomnia. Now, sleep is of paramount importance to mental health. How do you reconcile the two: low-carb/keto diets and insomnia? Can you please discuss this important topic in your last episode with Dr. Walker? Many thanks!

    For me personally depression is lack of energy. I get tired easily even after cooking or cleaning, so I tend to be on bed a lot. Sometimes, I wonder am I having depression or just super tired.

    Dr. Huberman and Dr. Walker! Thank you for this series. Sleep has been a challenge for me in the last two years. The research on the impact on motivation was an “ ah ha” moment. I have started my bed time alarm and have set a sleep routine. Baby steps of progress. Much gratitude to both of you.

    Just wonderful Series we all need to understand this! This whole time I have a question: what happens to us mothers those few years while we have babies and small children, little sleep, little rest, lots of emotions, they don‘t say moms brain for nothing. I know I was a wrack 😅. I wish I knew all this Information back then maybe I could of made a few ajustments but a I still think that period leaves some „scars“ on us moms. Would be nice to make an episode for us ❤.
    Thanks one more time for all the good you do in this world!

I can correlate time where my sleep has not been consistent and my mood was all over the place. I now work on sleep at regular intervals and am documenting my success and the way I feel. The most helpful stuff I've heard in recent years. I now I wasn't crazy just sleep deprived.

    Dr. Huberman, this particular series is hugely impactful to me, listening to today’s podcast at about the hour and 14 minute mark you and Dr. Walker started to discuss a collaboration where you will look at NSDR and determine if it mimics sleep or provides the same level of benefits of sleep. You probably heard me all the way in California, as I sat in my car in Boston screaming yes yes yes! I only heard about NSDR in one of these podcasts in this series. So I checked out some videos on UA-cam and it’s only been a couple of weeks, but it is the one absolute game changer that helping me to sleep better. I’ve struggled for decades and started measuring with my Apple Watch last month and I’m so low on deep sleep that I’m trying everything in my power to increase it. I’ve been doing yoga nidra multiple times a day for a couple of weeks and it has helped so much. I appreciate the work you do and very much appreciate Dr. Walker and this series. Keep on, keepin’ on!

    Another awesome podcast on sleep, so much great information we don’t ever hear about . Through the years have only heard a good night sleep so important . And the need for sleep to heal when you are sick.
    This information on these sleep podcasts goes so in depth to the specific benefits, it’s so great. I really found the fact that sleep serves as an emotional detox so great , or the “sleep to forget” sleep treatment therapy. Looking forward to the next one.
    I can definitely relate to when I am tired at night and get a call from someone I like , but their content irritates me. I have found at night I no longer answer calls from those friends during my winding down time before sleep. You are right about when your very tired talking to them makes your brain fight for any sense of peace. I also think at that point we risk saying something that may hurt the other persons feelings.
    Thank you for another great video.

This topic coukd not have come at a more appropriate time confirming so much researxh i have learned over the past month about my issue with sleep. This just validated a lot of what I thought about what is going on in my brain and why I am waking up so much through the night.
    I watched this one first. Now i plan to start with the 1st podcast in this series and listen to them all.
    Thank you for this interview. 🙏

    Another INCREDIBLE episode!! I’m speechless. So much of what Dr. Walker has explained I can relate to in a very personal manner, especially depression, medication, and sleep. I track my sleep almost every night ever since I’ve been listening to your podcasts. If only I had known all of this information in my twenties my life could’ve turned out very differently.
    Dr. Huberman, I believe you mentioned the next episode will be on dreams, correct? Could you both discuss if teeth grinding while asleep is a byproduct of nightmares? I grind my teeth at night and am now wearing a mouth piece that won’t allow my molars to touch at all. This has alleviated my tension headaches in a dramatic way.

    depression is largely about the past, anxiety is largely about the future, with little flips of the hourglass within this basic phenomenon. That is spot on, Matt. Also absolutely accurate that being in bed while depressed does not mean you are asleep too much. For years I’ve been in bed too much, yet gotten terrible sleep, especially quantity. Dude, you are a genius.

    Thank you so much AH and MW for this series of podcasts. I find it truly fascinating! I think it's interesting that REM sleep (if I have this right) helps process memories so they no longer have a strong emotional component. It makes me think of something William Wordsworth said about emotions recollected in tranquility.

    some important points of this discussion:
    1. there is no single psychiatric condition in which sleep is normal. That has a lot to say about sleep.
    2. we sleep to forget and sleep to remember.
    3. The basic bridge between despair and hope is a good night sleep, that says a lot about the functionality of sleep and emotions.
    4. sleep has things to do with the social interactions, as we will be more parasympathetic if we are pushed a bit we become much more repulsive and getting on the addictive side (over active.). this is just mind blowing that we would become irrationally active in case of sleep deprivation.

I got off it for 6 months at one point and i was like a different person and the quality of my sleep increased 100000% which helped my mental health and a number of other things. i’ve been off it one week now and can already notice a difference in my sleep. hopefully i can stay off it this time 🤞🏼🤞🏼
