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

Then they started to measure the brainwaves in the laboratory and they would try to hit the brain with a tone right at that strike of midnight, like we were doing with electricity. And sure enough, you boosted the brainwave. The problem was if you did it about three or four times in a row, the brain fought back and it resisted the tone.

And in fact, it started to decrease the amount of deep sleep brainwaves. So you've got to be a bit careful. Why would that happen? It's probably because the brain has a protective neural mechanism.

to prevent too much synchronous brainwave activity synchronous brainwave activity when it gets out of control is called epileptiform brainwave activity which causes a seizure so you've got to be you know you have to be thinking about these things so i think that but there is i think now devices out there that are doing vibratory stimulation

And part of the brain stimulation device that we have now is a bone conduction system too, where we can also vibrate you as well as electrical stimulate you. So you're doing both. So I'm doing both because when it comes to sleep for a commercial device, now as a scientific device, I want to pass them out separately and I want to understand them distinctly.

It's so cool. All of this technology is so sick. And I wonder what's going to happen. I wonder what's sort of coming next. And obviously, you know, such a reliance on pharmaceuticals. Yeah. Sort of leaning in and people manipulating all manner of different things internally. Yeah. You mentioned insomnia there. Have you looked at chronic fatigue syndrome? Is that part of your remit at all?

Fatigue sounds like tiredness, sounds like sleep. Is that something that you guys ever cross over with?
