He was saying sleeping longer than 9 hours itself wasn't the cause for increased mortality, and that there were other hidden causes for increased mortality for anyone sleeping over 9 hours, and not the long sleep itself. So you should be okay with your weekend sleep of 9 plus hours, assuming it's just catch up sleep and no other hidden health factors.

Epidemiological studies has many ways to overcome the bias you mentioned. They may be tracking apparently normal healthy individuals rather than those having serious diseases.
I'm aware that children and teenagers need more sleep than adults - when does that increased requirement begin to drop off? I ask because I'm 20 and still sleeping around 9 or 10 hours a night lol
Yeah 20+ is already on that 8 or 7-8 hours. I used to oversleep when I was depressed and taking medicine, it is just as devastating as under sleeping, so you definitely want to see if there's any underlying cause. I'd start by cutting down screen time some hours before bed and going to sleep and waking up at the same time. Go cold turkey for a day, I know that's always worked for me. Be active or you will not be tired at the end of the day.
I think the answer can vary for everyone -- granted, I'm no expert on sleep and this is just my opinion -- but there are many factors to consider, such as if you're still growing. 20 is still close to the teens, and there's no reason to cut your sleep short if it doesn't negatively impact you. If you have time to get tons of sleep, and if 9-10 hours is the perfect amount of sleep you need to function, then there isn't much reason to force yourself to wake up earlier. However, be careful of oversleeping too.
I'm 16 and I get around 8. I'm just saying, there's no cutoff line or any specific schedule you have to follow for your age, just sleep enough, what works for you. Everyone requires a different amount, what Matt Walker is talking about in the video just says the recommended amount.
Going cold turkey and walking 2 hours in the morning fixed my sleep instantly. Something I had been struggling for more than a decade, gone. Now that I couldn't walk for a few days, my sleep is all over the place again. So don't make it hard for no reason, the truth is that for most of us all we need is to replace a few bad habits. Wake up and go to sleep at the same times, be active during the day (even just walking 8000+ steps), use flux and Twilight and cut down screen time hours before going to bed. Cool down and relax before going to bed (read a bit and journal), have a cool room. I use Vapidbobcat's 8D playlist most of the times, or some other rainy café ambience videos. If there's not much noise around me, then nothing at all.
I sleep very soundly, go right to sleep and when I wake, get right up feeling fine .. 6 hours typical .. my whole adult life 67 years old with same BMI as at 20 .. 19.1 .. no aches and pains .. still flexible .. no known health issues
Thank you for sharing this. I, too, sleep for a short amount of time, but when I’m up, I can do cartwheels. Tons of energy. Hoping to have a low BMI like that at your age. Congrats!
What's your opinion about sleeping twice a day? For example I sleep 5.½-6 hours in the night and always take a 30-40 min nap at noon. Personally I feel like I have more energy for the entire day than when I sleep for 7-9 hours
This is the reason we have sleep anxiety nowadays. Because everyone’s throwing numbers and words like “decreased mortality” etc. at us, making us more anxious about sleeping enough.
I'm finding age to be a factor as well. I am now 41, and i'm sleeping a lot less hours than i did only 10 years ago. On week days, i tend to sleep on average 5 hours, and waking up naturally, and refreshed. On the weekend, when/if i have days off work, i seem to go for a bit longer, up to 8 hours. Perhaps its merely my internal clock working on a steady rhythm, but age does seems to be a factor.
Yea dude, i also noticed that, before i was ok and i was not sleep deprived also, but when i started to watching videos after sleep, buah now i feel m constant need of sleep. RUclips has ruined my life
@@linyuan123 Not necessarily: Up until recently studies have implied that sleeping more than 9 hours may reduce longevity in humans. But these studies seem to have left out elements that show correlation, not causality. Science is now starting to lean towards the conclusion that the more you sleep the longer you live, regardless.
@@flavioptferreira For me personally, my sleep time is always different and i don't know why. Sometimes my body wakes up after 8 or 9 hours of sleep and sometimes after 6 hours of sleep.
@@strength4147 cause sleeping has its cycles, you want to wake up at the end of a cycle or another, but never during one. Anyway, there's so many factors to that, usually it's disturbance from either outside or something you drank/ate or have done during the day that will affect your sleep.
Everyone is different. There's no one size fits all. I let my body decide. Because no matter how hard I try, it'll sleep when it wants to. The only exception of this is depression because it's not sleep, but an escape from your internal and external problems. Something I learned the hard way. I think the big problem we have is that we FORCE ourselves to sleep which gives us poorer quality.
I have found that sleeping 2-4 hrs at a time is enough to get a 15 minutes of deep healing REM sleep 2 times a day. I usually sleep 5-7hrs a night and take a 1-3 hr nap in afternoon if I have the time!
I am a person that wake up at about 6 in the morning and gets ready for bed at 9-10 of the night. I get mocked at by some for keeping this up during summer, with some cheat days. Others congratulate me and ask me how I do that. I personally find much comfort in my sleeping schedule and would recommend it to most people that have the ability to be at bed at thay time.
Or the mortality rate's increase might also be because a large number of people who spend more time sleeping/resting often tend to also have less physical activity in their schedule.
I think one should find out how much they need by experimenting. I found out that if I sleep less than 7, it's not enough, not fully rested. I need 8 if I'm really tired. But more than 8 makes me feel groggy or I get like a headache. And when I'm sick I sleep from 8 to 12 hrs.
6 hours are fine for me. Also: the reson for the longer you sleep the less you live is because, ofc, the more you lie in bed the less you move, exercise and use your heart properly. 10 hours in bed it's no different than staying 10 hours on the couch watching Netflix.
Ran across a work on butenkyo breathing where a comment was made that only four hours of truly deep sleep was required. The extra hours were the result of restlessness caused by poor breathing. Speaking only for myself there feels like there is validity. When my mouth is taped closed I sleep very deeply

@@ElatedElate I think that would depend on the individual. Although to be able to wake up early has an advantage because the schedule of jobs, school etc favours early risers.
Me: watching ths video waiting for my netflix dowload and getting ready starting to watch another 2hrs of netflix to start my tuesday with 4 hrs of sleep
This might sound stupid, but I've always had a hard time finding an answer to the opposite of this: "How long should you stay awake?" I've always wondered this because knowing this could help me fine-tune my sleep schedule. I don't have a traditional job, so I have the ability to do that, and I'd love some research on this. I want to know how long I should stay awake before I recharge so that I make the best out of my hours awake.
I don't care how much other people sleep. Why would I? It's not a competition. I sleep when I'm tired and get up when I'm rested. It's not really confusing or controversial.
Correlation does not equal causation. There are so many factors that determine how long each person lives. To just pick one, like hours of sleep per night, is absolutely ridiculous!
Please answer this question. Before 1980-1990, there were barely any television in rural India, most people used to go to bed by 8 pm and wake up early by 4 or 5 am. But they used to sleep in daytime as well for 1 or 2 hours. Now time has changed. My grandparents are old, above 80, and my mother is 50 years old. My question is does sleeping in daytime has any effect on mortality.? I don't think I will be able to convince my grandparents to change their routine that they have been following for their entire life but I will try to convince my mother given any research has been done in this field.
I think they should see WHEN thye get sleep. You might sleep longer or shorter, but if you do that in the daytime, the result can be very bad for your health. That's why people who work shifts should have some form of "regulation" to regulate their sleep habits, thus making them healthier workers.
The correct answer is… it varies. Your body needs rest and recovery more than specifically sleep. A Hindu monk who meditates all day exerting little energy may only need 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. An athlete or body builder is going to need that 8-9 hours of sleep.
My husband has insomnia and goes through cycles of sleeping super short hours to sleeping very long hours (but the sleep tracker shows it's not very restful sleep). Is there something that can help his insomnia? At this point if he is desperate to fall asleep he'll have a glass of wine or a sleep aid pill, but I'm curious what other options there are if anyone else has experience with this, thanks!
Different people got different way..he need to change of environment..I'm suffer from super insomnia before..mybe sleep for 20 min a day only..but later I quit my current job(law officer) and work at watch shop..I got very good sleep..quality sleep..n my day feel happy coz enough sleep..in addition.. 2 things that can make u happy n overcome insomnia 1)environment of life 2)enough sleep Even my previous job make me 2 times money..but it give me 100 times stress..so now I work 10am-8pm..but sometimes I go back 8.30pm coz forget it's time to go back bcoz enjoy my new workplace so much..also I can't wait to go back work in the morning coz excited my new job coz I found passion in fixing watch

Me: watching ths video waiting for my netflix dowload and getting ready starting to watch another 2hrs of netflix to start my tuesday with 4 hrs of sleep

Im so grateful i know this. Thank u
This might sound stupid, but I've always had a hard time finding an answer to the opposite of this: "How long should you stay awake?" I've always wondered this because knowing this could help me fine-tune my sleep schedule. I don't have a traditional job, so I have the ability to do that, and I'd love some research on this. I want to know how long I should stay awake before I recharge so that I make the best out of my hours awake.
I don't care how much other people sleep. Why would I? It's not a competition. I sleep when I'm tired and get up when I'm rested. It's not really confusing or controversial.
I d like that you include teenagers and kids ,because they are different
Correlation does not equal causation. There are so many factors that determine how long each person lives. To just pick one, like hours of sleep per night, is absolutely ridiculous!
13 year olds had this haircut in 2011, why does this middle aged dude have it in 2020?
Personal preferences?
@@chewygami8781 right.
But it was distracting lol
Great. I'm just shy of 40. I can only sleep about 5 hours a night. Bed at 1:30am. Rise at 6am. Bed at 9:30pm. Rise at 2:30am.
holy crap. I sleep 6 hours on weekdays and 11 hours on weekends. I am dead.

Please answer this question. Before 1980-1990, there were barely any television in rural India, most people used to go to bed by 8 pm and wake up early by 4 or 5 am. But they used to sleep in daytime as well for 1 or 2 hours. Now time has changed. My grandparents are old, above 80, and my mother is 50 years old. My question is does sleeping in daytime has any effect on mortality.? I don't think I will be able to convince my grandparents to change their routine that they have been following for their entire life but I will try to convince my mother given any research has been done in this field.
Great video, thank you.
6-7 is the ideal sleep for me at night , if I snooze for more than 10mins I wake up lazy.
Afternoon nap for more than 30mins is waste of time.
Me at 2 AM: I need to sleep--wait ted ed posted I can spare 2 minutes
As long as I get 2 hours, I'm good. More than 6 and I'm funky all day.
...is that your real hair? The presidential?
Thank you for this. 😂
I think they should see WHEN thye get sleep. You might sleep longer or shorter, but if you do that in the daytime, the result can be very bad for your health. That's why people who work shifts should have some form of "regulation" to regulate their sleep habits, thus making them healthier workers.
I sleep less than 9 hours in 48 hours. Oh boy, I am gonna die young.
Thanks for your sharing 👍
The correct answer is… it varies. Your body needs rest and recovery more than specifically sleep. A Hindu monk who meditates all day exerting little energy may only need 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. An athlete or body builder is going to need that 8-9 hours of sleep.
I've had severe insomnia for over 8 years.
This video didn't make me feel good.

For me when I sleep 8 to 11h I only get 1:30 deep sleep but when I sleep 5h almost half of it is deep sleep.
My husband has insomnia and goes through cycles of sleeping super short hours to sleeping very long hours (but the sleep tracker shows it's not very restful sleep). Is there something that can help his insomnia? At this point if he is desperate to fall asleep he'll have a glass of wine or a sleep aid pill, but I'm curious what other options there are if anyone else has experience with this, thanks!
Suffered from this big, big time. My rescue was meditation and gaining control over my racing mind.
Different people got different way..he need to change of environment..I'm suffer from super insomnia before..mybe sleep for 20 min a day only..but later I quit my current job(law officer) and work at watch shop..I got very good sleep..quality sleep..n my day feel happy coz enough sleep..in addition..
2 things that can make u happy n overcome insomnia
1)environment of life
2)enough sleep
Even my previous job make me 2 times money..but it give me 100 times stress..so now I work 10am-8pm..but sometimes I go back 8.30pm coz forget it's time to go back bcoz enjoy my new workplace so much..also I can't wait to go back work in the morning coz excited my new job coz I found passion in fixing watch
