#883 - Dr Matthew Walker - The Science Of Perfect Sleep

these mattresses may now be able to create some kind of ripple approach. And so we're starting to play with this technology in the lab where we're trying to do just lateral ripples to see if we can actually manipulate you. I was at a conference at what's called the section of the advanced sort of science agency here, DARPA, which is part of the defense agency.

And they had this really interesting technology for special operatives to navigate them through, based on the trajectory, through a particular kind of scenario where they had to go and find a kill. And they couldn't use radio communication because that would give the game away.

But they were able to insert this device into the ear that would stimulate the vestibular system and tell them left, right, forward, back. So then I was thinking, well, hang on a second. If I'm rippling the bed or I'm swinging it, you know, all of a sudden my girlfriend or my wife is probably thinking, you know, it's a bit too much too soon.

You know, we were fairly pedestrian in what was going on in the bedroom. Now you're swinging the mat. You know, go easy. I don't like that. But what if I could not even stimulate your mattress, which could disrupt someone else?

All I need to do is have this ear device and I'm going to fool artificially your brain into thinking that it's being rocked by way of stimulating the vestibular system and off you go into sleep. So that's another sort of method that I'm really interested in and there's good evidence for. Probably the next one is acoustic.

And there's now, I think, this emerging wave of acoustaceuticals, which is acoustic manipulation of the brain. Early studies from groups in Japan, like from Germany, Jan Born's group, they were just simply trying to do sounds that were these tones that would go at the frequency of the slow brainwaves. And they just started playing them as you were falling asleep and just kept playing them.

And they were ignorant of whether your brainwaves were going up or down. And it did seem to improve the amount of deep sleep, just passive tone playing at this frequency of about once every second or less. Then they got a bit clever.
