Sleep is not an optional lifestyle luxury. Sleep is a non-negotiable biological necessity. Sleep is a life support system. It is Mother Nature's best effort yet at immortality. And the decimation of sleep throughout industrialized nations is now having a catastrophic impact on our health, our wellness, as well as the safety and the education of our children.

It is a silent sleep loss epidemic, and I would contend that it is fast becoming the greatest public health challenge that we now face in the 21st century. The evidence is very clear that when we delay school start times, academic grades increase, behavioral problems decrease, truancy rates decrease, psychological and psychiatric issues decrease.

But what we also found, which we didn't expect in those studies, is the life expectancy of students increased. So if our goal as educators truly is to educate and not risk lives in the process, then we are failing our children in the most spectacular manner with this incessant model of early school start times. And by the way, 7.30 a.m. for a teenager is the equivalent for an adult waking up at 5.

4 30 or 3 30 in the morning if you're trying to survive or regularly getting five hours of sleep or less you have a 65 risk of dying at any moment in time When you wake up the next day, you have a revised mind-wide web of associations, a new associative network, a rebooted iOS that is capable of defining remarkable insights into previously impenetrable problems.

And it is the reason that you have never been told to stay awake on a problem. Instead, you're told to... Sleep on a problem.

My dear good fellow, Dr. Huberman.

You would think it's fairly simple because when people say, oh, I had the strangest dream last night, everyone seems to know what a dream.

And by the way, dreaming is, we take it for granted.

We say, oh, I had a strange dream last night.

Just think about it though.

Last night, both you and I and everyone listening, as long as they slept,

we all became flagrantly psychotic.
