For A More Successful Life!
This week, I’ve listened to a couple new videos. Sleep Expert Reveals “How You Can Optimize Your Brain” At age 83, I definitely want to Optimize and not have the usually expected decline.
Dr. Matt Walker starts his TED talk with, “Men who get 5 hours of sleep have significantly smaller testicles than men who get 7 or more hours of sleep.” I don’t have testicles, but I get the point. Walker goes on to show research of how lack of sleep significantly shortens our life and a poor immune system leading to Alzheimers and Cancer.
Andrew Huberman, Neurobiologist out of Stanford, has a couple good u-tube videos about how to get better sleep. He says, “A consistent 6 hours is fine and one need not stress to get the 7 or 8 hours of suggested optimum sleep.”
The one suggestion I learned is of getting a good 5 to 10 minutes of morning sun and late evening light for setting our circadian clock was new to me. I tried it yesterday and maybe it helped.
Sleep is the "SAVE" button on our human computer brains! Lack of sleep is one of our greatest Public Health Challenges!!
