Dr. Matthew Walker

Okay, let me write this down.

Matthew Walker is back.

And the world-renowned sleep expert and neuroscience professor is sharing brand new research to combat the sleep loss epidemic and help you get the perfect night's sleep.

Just give me 30 seconds of your time.

Two things I wanted to say.

The first thing is a huge thank you for listening and tuning into the show week after week.

It means the world to all of us and this really is a dream that we absolutely never had and couldn't have imagined getting to this place.

But secondly, it's a dream where we feel like we're only just getting started.

And if you enjoy what we do here, please join the 24% of people that listen to this podcast regularly and follow us on this app.

Here's a promise I'm going to make to you.

I'm going to do everything in my power to make this show as good as I can now and into the future.

We're going to deliver the guests that you want me to speak to and we're going to continue to keep doing all of the things you love about this show.

Thank you.

Dr. Matthew Walker.

Here in front of me, I have these cards, which I'm going to reveal a bit later, but these kind of hold what you consider to be the four pillars of great sleep.

But you also spend much of your professional career just studying the brain generally to understand human performance and how we can...

change our lifestyles, and also introduce some of these new sort of treatments to improve how our brain performs.

And I want to talk about all of that as well.

But to start, for anyone that is unfamiliar with you and has been hiding under a rock, how do you summarize who you are professionally?

the sort of academic references you're drawing on and the experiences and research you've done so that the viewer listening at home understands the full world that you operate in, study and have experienced.
