People who love what they teach are a joy to listen to.
I had this sargeant in the army. He LOVED showing us how to do drill. I didn't see much joy in it...
Absolutely
I love how Dr Walkers voice doubles as ASMR. I could fall asleep to this guys soothing voice any night.
Before developing this lullaby speech and adopting the name Matthew he was Dr Sleep Walker
OMG you're so right, his destiny for sure 😴😴😴
Peterson Joseph: I did !
Seriously 😂
I listen to all his speeches several times - first for information, many next - as bedtime ASMRs😅
I'm really gonna taper down my coffee intake - didn't think it was affecting my sleep before watching this
Update: 1 week in, I'm down to 1 coffee a day and sleeping 9 hours a night - this podcast changed my life.
Awesome 🙏
Eeeexxacxtly!😊
I can't do caffeine at all
Wow 👏 😮 1
This episode should be mandatory global viewing
@Williathe Narcisse no, in society. Social Media is disrupting life and sleep.
@Williathe Narcisse I find it very hard to understand what you mean with that sentence
I totally agree!
so true ! unvaluable information
Why mandatory global warming?
Awake since 2:30 am as I am unable to sleep...and this pops up!!!! The universe is at it again!
Stress proof by Mithu Storoni gd one . I'm in same boat
Awake at 5am and needed something to listen to in order to fall back to sleep. It was good to wake up to .
Or perhaps just your mind... wired to succeed! :-)
reflexology is amazing for that
The universe is
His book literally changed my life, I used to be one of those “sleep is for the weak” believer and until I had a good fortune to come across his book, I started sleep regularly and slowly make it mandatory to at least 7 hours a night, I see changes in front of my own eyes, eczema bothers me for two decades is almost completely gone with very occasion flare up, my mood has dramatically improves and migraine is gone for good. I no longer suffers from cold or fever easily, ( in fact I didn’t have fever for at least 3 years) I sincerely wish everyone take the time, read his book, get a good night sleep every night and live a happy and long life.
heartfelt congratulations on ending your migraines.
and excema. that is no fun either.
Similar effect from getting more sleep. Life is better.
Mandatory reading for everyONE's HEALth' Habits Foundation...
SLEEP well my friend 💤😍😍😍
what a amazing person thx for the insight
do you sleep from the same time every night or different times per day but still 7 hours?
Matthew’s voice is so calming, I could probably fall asleep while listening to him
Should get him on headspace
I was thinking the same thing!
It has happened to me a few times since I listen to this usually at bedtime.
I I do sleep listening to his lecture ,science of sleep.
I guess I'm the only one whose been doing it
When he got so excited about racing in his little Mazda MIATA... I love this man.
Not got to that part yet, he's got an mx5 that's even better
Got to say, listening to Dr. Walker talking about sleep while going to sleep is perfect. Man found his calling and has the voice to speak about this.
I’ve been listening to RRP since 2012 and have to say this is one of the best episodes in the tank thus far. What a bright and humble guest. If you’re human you need to listen to this one!
I as welll beeen listening since ep.1 with Julie & agree this one is great
I’m not human, I am a pig.
Damn I was gonna show it to my dog.
What are the other great episodes that are kinda similar to this?
Demonic goat serpent lovers 🧿🧄🧅
“I can sleep when I’m dead hurr durr”
What if lack of sleep is killing you?
Awesome podcast, stellar topic.
Yup, the level of cringe is off the charts when someone says that line 😂
I remember someone who used to say that to me, as if it was a bragging right, and as if you were a wuss if you wanted sleep....I don't miss him
This attitude is easy to find in work culture. I try to speak with people close to me to get away from it but.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember some motivational speech when I think it was 50 cent that said that sleep is for broke people xd
what if it isn't?
My whole family thought I was lazy , but I realized that my internal metrics for sleep were off , this man Mathew Walker helped me operate in society again. Before I couldn’t make morning meetings and I even remember staying up for 24H periods without sleep. I’m a lot more healthy now.
What did you do specifically
This explains a lot like why Richard Branson never got mad when he caught one of his employee taking a nap in his office couch, he understands the power of SLEEP 😴😂
Yesssssssss perfect, thank you! Literally nothing more satisfying than laying in bed and falling asleep listening to a podcast with sleep expert Chuck Norris's twin brother.
😂😂
Quitting caffeine is the best thing I've done for my sleep. You don't need that shit when you eat and sleep well
I noticed that the older I got the more the caffeine interfered with my sleep. In college I could drink a pot of coffee and sleep just fine. Now in my 70's even one cup of coffee in the morning keeps me tossing and turning until 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. I've given it up totally.
Switched to green tea a few weeks ago as a way to cut down on the caffeine. I had one coffee the other day and it made me feel ill.
Please discuss the hormone that keeps u asleep too overide the urge 2 get up to pee!
Please discuss the circadian rhythm
Why not both? Eating & sleeping well... plus caffeine :)
I gotta be honest here Rich. That was the best damn podcast you have released in months and I love roll-on. Matthew Walker's so good at explaining sleep and your questions are spot on. I even forwarded this video to my slack fitness channel so expect some new fans!
I'm an interior architecture student and I've been sleeping 3-4 hours a night for the past 4 weeks since I started my new full-time job. Definitely needed this as I am literally commenting on this video while cramming to finish my projects for the semester. My goal is to improve my sleep and overall health moving forward. Thank you Rich and Matthew
According to Walker's book, you'll get better grades if you sleep more and cram less.
@@EvoraGT430 Exactly. Isn't it because the extra sleep helps create deeper connections with the material.. thus better understanding and memory of said material, which would reduce the NEED for cramming.
It's been awhile since I've read Matthew's book, so I could be off-base.
Sleep RECOVERY well my FRIENDs assisting FRIENDs surTHRIVAL together 💤😴
@@EvoraGT430 fantastic read
WHY WE SLEEP
SLEEP RECOVERY WELL FRIENDS
He is also featured in a Ted-series where he makes short videos about sleep with a lot of facts.
The series is called “Sleeping with science”
Sleeping with science
Thank You for the sleep tips
"Sleeping with science'😴😴😴🍯
Thank you for normalizing my 8:30PM / 5:30AM sleep and wake times!!!
Are you able to sleep straight through? I genuinely love getting up at 5am but when I go to bed at 9pm I don’t feel like I sleep as well as when I sleep from 11pm to 7am
WE alll are unique with different and similar Sleep requirements
When Rich asks Matthew about the full moon, and asks "Have you looked at this?"... and then Matthew replies "We have...", I melt :) He is like a sweet school boy who is just revealing a little secret to you, it's so adorable!
This was a 3 hours conversation on science which passed by faster than any lecture during my studies. Vastly inspiring, deeply interesting and incredibly practical - I am ready to optimize even more aspects of my sleep now ;D
.
Lots and lots of love for both of you guys. I could honestly listen for a week straight(with some sleep breaks!)!
Stay safe and have a great week ahead!
This is the single most CRUCIAL video on UA-cam and all humans of any age need to watch it, especially parents.
I am making huge changes in my home tonight with my family. Thank you so much for creating this Rich🏆
AWESOME guest! I heard Matthew on joe rogan time ago, bought his book and really have made sleep a priority in my life. Can't thank Matthew enough for his wisdom and also Rich for his master interviewing skills!
Sleep well folks!

@@barryminor616 Not sure what you mean here Barry :P
I started getting unfiltered sunlight circa sunrise/sunset daily from Dr. Andrew Huberman's insights. I went from needing Benadryl in order to sleep to sleeping like clockwork nightly; many other health benefits I'm experiencing as well.
I've been doing that too, makes a big difference!
It's amazing how this 3 hour podcast can literally change your life.
Good morning to all yall waking up to go to work and learning, so productive
I've seen a lot of Rich's podcasts but this one might just be my favorite one of all. Dr. Walker is such a brilliant mind, gentle man, and beautiful soul, delivering extremely important info. Bravo!
"Why we sleep" is a fantastic book.
Life changer🙌🏾
Unless it puts me to sleep, it ain't! 😴 Lol
And if you read the book then answer the why I am a sleep researcher and I dont know why we sleep
I love the fact that when I look at this Guy I am certain that he had a f*cking brilliant night of sleep before he went on the podcast!
I would love him to talk about how we’re sleeping such as bed vs floor sleeping. For most of human history, we weren’t using beds. The mattress industry thinks we need these expensive beds for better sleep but it most likely causing us to have worse sleep
You don't think our ancestors would sleep in the softest spot they possibly could whenever it was available? Even if not, not everything we used to do is what we should do, although sometimes that is true. We never took supplements but some things we can only get through supplementation.
@@TheAbsoluteSir softest spot, I would say, only consisted of dirt, grass, leaves, and maybe simple fabrics but those things all together are more firm than any bed and healthier compared to a bed today. Bed’s today can be complicated. Not to mention the amount of Volatile organic compounds, toxic compounds, molds and particles beds release/carry, definitely don’t help with our health or sleep. The more we deviate from our ancestors the sicker we get, but avoiding to take a b12 pill or supplements because “our ancestors didn’t do that” is really unnecessary and wouldn’t improve anyone’s quality of health to a significant degree so I definitely agree with that. People who take ancestral lifestyles to heart need to take into consideration today’s problems and think logically. We need a b12 pill, but we don’t necessarily need a mattress
There is no value to floor sleeping. It is of poor quality even with foam materss. You would notice that when you go camping.
For most of human history people died of many infectious diseases we can cure today. Just because people did it in the past doesn’t automatically mean it’s better than what we do today…
@@katie8325 Yeah, really it doesn’t mean that what people used to do was necessarily better. But people dying of infections in the past, and the level of uncomfortableness in a tent aren’t quite arguments. Japan still sleeps on floor beds, as a lot of other people around the world.
A lot of things have changed and this may be one of them so I find that to be a really interesting question.
People behave differently because the environment was completely different. Think about electricity. Maybe they had quite limited options to entertain themselves during the night. Think about having to be physical as hell all day long catering for animals, working the land, doing laundry by hand and so on. Maybe if we had to live like this, the softness and fluffiness of the mattress would be the last thing on our mind.
Still, people tried to make themselves comfortable for millennia using whatever materials they could get from their surroundings, and a lot of them adapted to conditions that ma seem completely improper to us today.
I LOVED this episode. I could listen to Matthew Walker talk for 10 hours straight. Such a soothing voice. He should have his own podcast. 💕
This is by far one of the best episodes of RRP, I usually just tune into Roll On or the more running/athlete-focused eps as I find the wellness and health-related episodes often too preachy or out of touch. But this episode is some amazing content, absolutely jam-packed with real applicable information from someone who knows his area and explains it extremely well. I wish every human being could set aside 3 hours of their life to listen, really LISTEN, to what Dr. Walker is saying, because I don't know how else a true cultural paradigm shift would ever happen to allow for a world that makes room for proper sleep. If only society would tune into what scientists are saying...
I've been watching the podcast for about a year now. I've dug into some older episodes based on the guests. Gotta say, this is my favorite conversation so far. Thanks so much for the discussion guys.
alllll the small things are not small
Sleep RECOVERY well my FRIENDs
Already one of my all time favorite RR podcast episodes!
me too
ever since Rich said in a past pod 'I gottas get this guy on the podcast' when referring to Matthew Walker I have been so looking forward to it. My fave Sleep Expert with my fave podcast host! This is going to be epic! Thank you!!!!!!!
Matthew's voice is like a lullaby. What an amazing podcast. Really helped me to understand the fundamentals of sleep and its importance. Thank you.
In Portugal we have a popular saying that goes "your pillow is your best therapist". After listening to this podcast I truely understand it.
I started Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia a couple of weeks ago. It can take some time to change the habits/behavior (diverse) that result in bad sleep. More therapists are being trained on this because such a high percentage of people have crappy sleep, which is bad news for mental health. Given the large number of people with dysfunctional sleep, a sleep assessment of some kind should be included in the initial assessment of anyone with depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health problems/conditions.
Prioritizing health makes us punk rock revolutionaries, this is partly what keeps me hooked❤❤❤
A lot of this is bad news to me, but it's such important and even exciting information. I'm going to get Dr. Walker's audiobook now. I'm very much looking forward to drastically improving my sleep, which may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia.
Thank you Rich, for always having such interesting and insightful guests.
I had no idea how absolutely important sleep is for health!!! Thank you so much Rich Roll and Mathew Walker!!!
I listen to Matthew Walker's podcast on sleepdiplomat -
while I'm winding down.
such a soothing voice about sleep.
For a couple of years i used a high end very clean pre-workout that had green tea caffeine in it. That was my only caffeine each day, 75-100 mg.
Since I eliminated it (bc i started getting pms for the 1st time in my life and caffeine was the only thing I changed in my diet) Within 2 days off It I noticed more clarity/clear mind, my body felt really clean again, and my sleep depth (stages 3-4) has been getting better & i’m waking up less overnight and able to fall back to sleep right away, And I have an underlying feeling of well-being at all times when I tune in to myself which I never noticed when I had caffeine daily! I just feel the inner happiness again.
Just that little bit of caffeine daily over time was jacking up my nervous system and effecting my experience of life. I had no idea it was that powerful until I got it out of my system 😲
Nice.....
Im really thinking about cutting caffeine from my life....
@@Infoseek777 The PMS scared me enough to make me do it. Apparently 90% of humans don’t have the enzyme or enough of it in their body that breaks down caffeine and that’s why it reeks havoc in other areas.
The only negative I’ve experienced , and it’s getting better, is my endurance isn’t as great as it was when I was using caffeine. But once the adrenals heal I’m sure I’ll be back to where I was.
My favorite book and one of my favorite people! One of the most profound changes I made in my life was to make sleep my priority. And as Matt always says "it has been magical".
H-o-l-y Mackerel!!! To think that there was a time when I thought whatever I wanted to accomplish had to be carving time off of my sleep. Thanks Rich and Dr Walker.
Now WE know
Glad that I'm listening to this before I have kids. So interesting how important sleep really is.
I have to wonder whether lack of sleep causes poor mental health or if poor mental health causes lack of sleep and does it become a viscious cycle. I'll learn more after listening to the rest of this show I'm sure!
Wonder how many crimes are committed by someone who really needs some good sleep
It is a vicious cycle, they both magnify each other
It is bidirectional. And yes, there is research on the effects of sleep and mental disorders. The worst effects are for the folks with the most devastating mental illnesses such as bipolar disorders and schizophrenia and major depression. Well studied. For years.
I would love to see a study done on people who live in the “Blue Zones”, (the longest living people) to see if their sleep patterns follow what Dr Walker has described as maximum patterns of sleep quality.
Dr Walker needs to start reading sleepy stories for the Calm app.!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🌓🌓
Taking sleep seriously has finally allowed me to quit caffeine. Still trying to hit 8 on my fitbit but I'm clearing 6.5 to 7 consistently while waking up without the alarm.
It is indeed a true fact, I've solved many problems in my life, and remembered deep things, upon waking up in the middle of the night in my sleep with a solution.
I’m so grateful for Dr. Walker’s transparency about his own struggles with sleep and his own catastrophizing while laying in the dark of the night. I’m 59 years old and I’ve struggled with insomnia ever since I found out I have a copy of the APOE4 gene. I lay in bed at night visualizing the Tao tangles wrapping themselves around my brain. Do yourselves a favor and don’t allow yourself to find out whether you have that particular gene…just presume you do (25% of the population does) and change your lifestyle habits accordingly.
what a humble and kind man
Also, 100% can relate to waking before the alarm when I really need to. And it is actually amazing as I wake up fresh as opposed to semi-sleepy when woken up by the alarm ;D
I have never used an alarm to awaken me my entire life, I dont even own a watch now. All NTURAL.
I’m also listening to the Huberman Podcast.
An amazing view on the brain, with the first couple podcasts specifically on sleep. He nails down some of the neurological points that are not fully covered here.
Damn this was just such a great episode. We are in a serious crisis of sleep deprivation. I can't think of one person in my life that's mastered sleep. Everyone always seems tired, dark circles under the eyes, etc. Loved this episode!
Good morning!
I had a delicious night’s sleep!!
I’m 82 -/ just recently learned how to breathe!! (James Nestor);
- Learned all about my brain and what I can do to “baby” it.. (Dr Amen)
-One sentence Dr Walker uttered in this informative discussion concerned the fact that not enough sleep can screw with your blood glucose! WHAM! Hit me like a ton of bricks..
I track fasting glucose .. it was going up and up for no good reason.. blood work just done was fine. I eat very well, no junk! So last night i put on the yellow glasses (that I had): already had low , non-LED BULBS in the lamps in the living and bedroom (Dr Jack
Kruse) .. did everything I could that Dr Walker recommended.
Versa 2 this morning recorded BEST night of sleep I have had since I’m wearing the device (4 months..) .. and blood glucose DOWN 20 POINTS!!!
So I’m not “pre-diabetic “, thank you very much!! Simply sleep-deprived!!
As several people have noted in these comments, the information Dr Walker presented in this podcast ( and in his book!) is “actionable”, is transformative, is a real kick in the ass!! Thank you, Gentlemen, is all I can say!!!
Rich, you're a great interviewer. It's clear that your goal is to get the most out of your guests. Unlike other hosts who insist on inserting their own narrative into the discussion. Much appreciated 👍
This is one of my very favorite interviews that you have done! And I do love so many of them, that's saying a lot! I loved loved loved his book! So much good information we can all learn from! Excited to have him on your show again.
I vote “yes” for Matthew Walker to return for another podcast. Thank you to both of you.
2 years late but this was an amazing interview. Would love it if you had him back on again.
Thank you for all your work Rich.
I hope you continue for a long time.
All that you do has culminated into great shows like this one and these have educated me so much I couldn't thank you enough.
Take care of yourself.
Rich Roll this was epic! So much wisdom from two truly inspiring men!
I bought my father Matthew’s book “Why we sleep”, and he loves it!
I read a book on dreams that said the guy who named Rem sleep almost named it jerky eye movement sleep and it would've been called Jem sleep
Possibly the most informative thing I've ever watched/seen...
I need 7-8 hours every night just to function and feel normal, and I’m never ashamed to speak on it. In fact, I often advise others on getting more sleep based on symptoms and health issues that they describe. Sleep is me time, and I refuse to compromise based on society’s standards.
Wow, Rich and Matthew, this is fascinating. I've been really tuning into improving my sleep as I've gotten older. I haven't finished this podcast yet, but I wish I knew this stuff many years ago, it would have done me so much good.....but enjoying my new attitude towards sleep
Was eagerly waiting for Matt to be on the podcast, great one Rich. Highly informative, Thank you ❤️
And the Video & Sound quality are epic 👌
I love all your podcasts but this is the one I shared with my family and friends! I can’t get over the wealth of information and knowledge Matthew has regarding sleep, dreams and the brain itself. I could listen to this podcast over and over again! Thanks for bringing him on your show… I’m going to get his book now 👍
Rich Roll is asking the right question because you can see he is as we , trying to understand the nature of a question. Rich is the miner for all of us who wish to find the answer without going underground without the coal dust.
This was incredibly enlightening and I can't wait to read the book!
Matthew Walker is amazing! Please have him back on the show!
The only time I sat down and watched 3 hours in one go. Going to rewatch soon, thanks Rich for great interviewing and covering everything!
Absolutely fascinating stuff. What an insight into this subject and the importance of sleep. I knew that this was going to be a longer interview than normal!
This podcast was so informative and so incredibly helpful. Awesome guest.
wow, thank you, this should be broadcast in every school so the next generation has this awareness
I just listened to Mark Manson's account of his attempt to master the uberman sleep schedule and live on just 2 hours of REM sleep per day.
I have always felt guilty for needing a lot of sleep, so it is such a relief to hear Dr Walker say that all types of sleep are essential.
Beautiful, brilliant, captivating, interesting, crucial and so much more. We definitely want a part 2! Thank you for this insightful talk.
This was so worth the three hours listen. Thank you both for such an informative and honest look at sleep and the barriers our society put up (especially our teens) that hinder sleep. It has certainly made me consider my evening priorities a bit differently!
Finally the podcast I was waiting for!!
Wow!! Enchanting, enlightening, and a life-changing 3hr episode. Must must listen. Thank you, Rich, for hosting Dr. Walker! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Such a beautiful and informative episode!!! I cannot believe this was almost three hours long. So entertaining. Thank you so much, both of you♥︎
Wow! This is one of the most mesmerizing 3 hour podcasts I've ever listened to. Extremely fascinating. Thanks so much, Rich & Mathew.
Excellent show! Thank you both! I’m glad I listened to the end; the info about how sleep trackers actually can cause sleep issues gave me some comfort. I had to stop using mine for that very reason! I thought there was something wrong with me, so I’m glad to hear it’s not uncommon! lol This was a terrific episode. I’ve ordered the book and look forward to learning even more. Thanks as always for a great experience!
I read the book a couple of months ago and found it fascinating and found this podcast even more fascinating! Matthew is so passionate about such an important subject!!
So here for this!
This is easily one of the best episodes of the podcast I have ever heard! I had no idea how critical sleep was to good health and the way you both broke down the science and the facts and figures behind how critical sleep is to one’s overall health is amazing. I definitely will be revisiting some of the topics you guys have discussed and looking into certain ways to achieve better sleep.
I wish I had seen this years ago. So worried about the permanent damage I have caused over the last 35 years. I would love to hear more regarding post menopausal sleep
Such a humble professor. So pleasant to listen to. Thanks for sharing great insight into healthy habits of sleep.
This was so good. I've learnt more during these three hours than I have for a long time. You are both gifts and thank you for what you both contribute to the community. Time to focus more on my sleep and lift all my health boats. Got into this video after hearing Matthew on Sam Harris' Making Sense podcast. Thank you. I am very grateful to both of you... Cheers Brad from Australia
Fantastic podcast. I purchased the book in two versions, audio and physical. Thank you. A very valuable video.
One of the best podcasts out there! Thank you!!
Sleeping is one of my secret weapons to keep me in shape and healthy. I hardly get sick comparing to my friend who exercises everyday but hardly get a good and long sleep. I would try to sleep as many hours as I can. During my teen, there were times I slept late but I would always choose to sleep an hour more or a half more rather than get up to eat breakfast. I had skipped breakfast just to sleep for decades. Turned out sleeping gave me more engery that having breakfast.
His book is fantastic !!!! Helped me a lot to understand the science of sleep 😴
I listened this podcast for all its 3 hours. LOVED LOVED LOVED IT
This changed my life! More importantly it has changed how I am setting “bedtimes” for my youngest son (age 9) and how I I can help my oldest juggle his heavy schedule. I will never wake him up again unless he requests it!
big fan of the podcast I always listen when I drive back from work, i have learn a lot of thing from your podcast thank you rich
I read Matthew's book last year - changed my life for sure and how I think about sleep!
This is gold standard of podcast. Thank you Mr Rich and Dr Walker :)
