This series is a gold mine. I have learned so much from Dr. Walker and I love your wry wit and the personality you infuse into all of your interviews, Tim.
ABSOLUTELY! I love having the bed to myself. My partner works nights, and we both look forward with extreme anticipation to the point in time when he is able to become a day person, naturally. However, I do NOT look forward to sharing a bed. I haven’t shared a bed with anyone in…decades? Plus, he snores. I also hate the term “sleep divorce”. How stigmatizing! “Furniture polyamory” is much better, haha (thanks for that, Tim).
Tim, As always, thanks for the great content. Really appreciate the work that you do! In terms of the lucid dreaming, you should try to get Robert Waggoner (author of Lucid Dreaming: Gate way to the Inner Self) on the show. I think he would make a really interesting guest.
Lucid dreaming is the most underrated skill there is. Aside from being really fun and feeling like real life you can use it to improve your life in almost every way. Want to learn more about yourself? Get better at skills you're practicing? Get rid of a fear? Well you can. It really isn't talked about enough
My wife and I went down the Scandinavian route. We bought a superking size bed and two separate duvets with two different tog ratings. We will never go back to sleeping under the same duvet. I need to be cool and just want something light to cover me and have restless legs (ADHD-linked) so mine is nice and light. My wife likes to be warm and fully covered so she goes for a duvet that’s literally three times as thick! It’s been a life changer.
The greatest evidence for dreaming memory retention for me is the fact that after years I can be dreaming about something that I would have otherwise completely forgotten about, again - and I know that I have dreamt about that thing before. So essentially a theme is brought up again maybe months or years afterwards and so it is retained in some way, or at least the pathway to induce an extremely similar dream is intact in a way that preserves something akin to retention or memory. Although it is completely inaccessible otherwise.
There was a controlled experiment on training a healthy, fit 25-y-o male. They had to cancel a month in. His blood sugar & heart rate were spiking, he was hallucinating, 22 measured micro sleeps in 10minutes of driving. The doco was called Dead Tired
Tim: your sleep won't be damaged profoundly if you get up to pee once per night as long as you can get back to sleep easily. Work on that ability. Don't drug yourself into dehydration and risk OI. That was a very poor choice on your part!! Be aware of which foods are more likely to irritate your bladder lining, and don't eat/drink those later in your day or at all. Hydrate very consistently during the day and never overstretch your bladder wall. Once you have done that, urgency increases all day and all night long.
I have had insomnia since April 20 when I quit all the sedative drugs I was on and had a seizure and a TBI. For the first year I only slept an hour, many nights no sleep (I’m aware we have little micro naps even when we think we are awake, but I def did a few 72hours, now I’m up to about 3 hours a night. Still having the odd night of zero. I read his book in my first month. I’m pretty sure according to him I should be very ill even dead or very mentally challenged by now and I’m not, I’m doing great! Because I don’t stress about it. It is what it is.
@@helenab2077 Not entirely true, but yes if you truly only get 3 hours of sleep you should be very worried. The book is also not really intended to be an insomniac guide it's a general sleep science explainer. The only people with similar experience to your proclaimed sleeping behavior die within a few years. That section in the book you should've read already. So i highly doubt you actually only get lets say one hour or three hours at night. At any rate all available data we have suggests you're looking at a slow decrepit and debilitating death in the future. I'm surprised you have not sought help to fix this when it has been going on for that long.
Lucid dreaming is easy: 1. If you're a guy - and depending on your T levels - don't release for at least 5 days. 2. Wake up really early... and then go back to sleep. This activates REM which is necessary for lucid dreaming. 3. Enjoy having relations with Pam Anderson. Warning: it typically doesn't last long and just about the time you get to the good stuff you're going to wake up.
Tim: speak with more ladies. There are better choices than the Magic Wand. Particularly for older people who struggle with sleep, you want lightweight, easy to hold, and the ability to target stimulation.

add timestamps u lazy egg
Your ability to let the guest speak and not interrupt is fantastic. This is how an interview of a guest should be conducted. Perfect.
This series is a gold mine. I have learned so much from Dr. Walker and I love your wry wit and the personality you infuse into all of your interviews, Tim.
Really appreciate that u have started with timestamps on every podcast. It is SO VALUABLE
Sleeping alone is great - can stretch out freely, read anytime, get up without bothering anyone, wake up anytime…

Awesome! Top tips to start practing this skill?
Read your books and you're making awesome videos to this day, amazing!

Sounds good. I hate getting restless leg syndrome.
That sounds like a great plan. Too bad it doesn’t do anything about the snoring issue.
OMG! I can't wait to see that movie you're talking about! )))
You guys have a perfect chemistry. This was great :)
Excellent talk❤ I loved it🙌
Awesome!!! Thank you so much!!

Love love matt
Thanks
Very informative
When are we getting that sleep improving device?
Tim ferris is still rolling out bangers
excellent!

Tim! Post it and time stamps right away…
Thanks Tim! You should speak with Jade Shaw about lucid dreaming/astral projection.
And on other news stocks of Hitachi Magic Wand skyrocketed today...

Show them this video!
Hi Tim! Check out the work of Tree Carr she is an avid lucid dreamer with a wealth of knowledge.
This guy looks like Chuck Norris from the movie Eye for an Eye and Breaker Breaker
open question: what happens if people with insomnia read Mathew walker's book?
I have had insomnia since April 20 when I quit all the sedative drugs I was on and had a seizure and a TBI. For the first year I only slept an hour, many nights no sleep (I’m aware we have little micro naps even when we think we are awake, but I def did a few 72hours, now I’m up to about 3 hours a night.

You should ask him how muscle and liver glycogen influence sleep.. you know since they provide the fuel for you to be asleep.
Make it short n sweet
My wife sleeps in her cage. VERY NICE!!
Lol, did you film this the last time and just didn't wanna risk people falling asleep after 4h podcast? 😅

There's nothing romantic about sleep deprivation. My marriage improved immediately after we began sleeping apart.

YOU LOST ME WITH THE DREAM SLEEP
Tim and Peter Attia have so many of the same guests. Frankly, I’d rather watch Peter to be honest.
why, Claudio?
