    2. At least 8 hours of sleep (does not mean 8 hours in bed)
    3. No screens 1 hour before bed

      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

    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!

    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.

      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.

    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

    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!

    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 ....

  • @Ghostzy01

    It’s taken me a while of suffering with sleep but I’ve kinda nailed it for the most part now.
    Your bed itself is so important and this took a long time for me to find what’s best for me, I have a pocket sprung mattress lightly topped in memory foam, two 15 Tog Duck down & Goose down feather duvets. (I lay between them for a good sleeping posture as a side sleeper). I use Duck & Goose down because Duck down alone is very hot, Goose down gives a bit more structure. I sleep on OTTY memory foam pillows, just one each side. These are the newest addition and they’re so good. Always slept on feather but these are way better. Support, coolness, hight.. they’re better in every way and one fits the gap between your head and shoulder perfectly, again for a good sleep posture as a side sleeper.
    I fall asleep listening to podcasts, this usually gives me near 1 hour of screen off time before bed but also means I’m not bored out my brain.
    I have Do Not Disturb set up for between 11pm & 11am so only emergency contacts can wake me up or disturb my sleep if need be. I also use Night Shift (removes blue light from your screen) which helps me get tired.
    I also have a sleep mask I use the same as Matt, only in the morning if I have to. I have a South facing window which in the UK means sun all day long.
    I track my sleep every night with my Apple Watch and I’ve done this for around a year and a half now, from all that data I have found I’m a 8 hour sleeper. When I wake up it lets me know exactly how much sleep I’ve got. If my mood is bad, mental health is suffering, it’s almost always when I’m behind on sleep.
    Rarely drink coffee unless I’ve had to go without sleep, dont drink it daily, everything in moderation.
    So yeah, took me a while but I figured myself out when it comes to sleep, then my girlfriend sleeps over and fks it all up 😂

    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.

      ​@@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

    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.

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.

    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.
