The Mysteries of Sleep, Prof. Matthew P. Walker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- We spend one third of our lives asleep, yet doctors and scientists still have no complete understanding as to why. It is one of the great scientific mysteries. This talk will describe new discoveries suggesting that sleep is a highly active process, essential for improving brain functions including (1) learning, (2) memory, (3) creativity and (4) emotional regulation.
SPEAKERS: Matthew P. Walker, Associate Professor of Psychology, UC Berkeley

You are the reason I'm quitting working nights.
Good for you. That's why the system is slavery.
you probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of months :)
@Nelson Samir definitely, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
@Nelson Samir Yup, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
@Nelson Samir yup, been using instaflixxer for months myself :D
I love learning about this! Partially because I have a deep deep loathing for how early high school starts!
DANG! Matthew Walker has been on this for a minute! Good for him.
Great humility and humor in the intro . Haha & “crashing on”.
This is the best
Thing ever
the location of the lecture is a disgrace. Why can't he be given a proper room. The transparent wall at his back is a distraction.
Great help videos.
Chuck Norris’ double lol awesome presentation very interesting! Awful location
You are so right he does look like chuck Norris it's freaky
What if you choose to be awake when everyone else is asleep and asleep when everyone is awake? And get a good eight hours of sleep. Is that a good or bad thing?
I think that's fine but it would probably mess with melatonin production. As long as you manage how much light your seeing throughout being awake, and decreasing it within an hour of falling alseep you should be ok.
Now we can put one half of the brain in NREM and the other half in REM. That way we have the cake and eat it - all the benefits without the negatives.
REM and NREM need to alternate in order to stir up the brain.

What is the song at the beginning?
Hi, Joshua! It's "The Wonder Song," written and performed by Jack Conte specifically for Wonderfest, the SF Bay Area Beacon of Science.
@@WonderfestScience thank you!!
ah, the bacon of science
Why does he resemble a young Chuck Norris to me 🤔😅
He sure does! Matthew Walker, Texas Ranger!
I know he is a neuroscientist, but does he mention diet??
No but don't eat heavy or unhealthy foods too close to bedtime is allow 3hrs to digest
In other presentations, he said eating just as darkness is a signal for the body to enter the sleep state (he was answering a Q&A on jet lag. Once he mentioned generally a LCHF diet.
I can Dream about you , Space may be the final frontier , but it was made in a Hollywood Basement :) QC
Jesus loves you ❤ 💖 💕

Bad sound quality
Kind of obsessed cause of that lol
The man behind the curtain is creepy af.
Too long I fell asleep
PhD of what? Psychology? WOW, bye. I was looking for something i don't know.
Your Loss. The guy's a nueroscientist and probably the most prominent expert on sleep.
Looks like someone needs a good nights sleep.
