Yeah. Yeah.

That's right. And you can see that same replication of failure across multiple organ systems. So for example, I take a young healthy set of males, I limit them to let's say four or five hours of sleep for five nights, they will have a level of testosterone, which is that of someone 10 years their senior. So I can age a healthy young man by 10 years by short sleeping them for a week.

You can take people who have perfectly regulated blood sugar, no problems with their blood glucose whatsoever. Put them on that same regiment of four or five nights of short sleep. And at the end of it, someone like you would look at their blood work and you would say, you are bordering on being pre-diabetic right now. Again, that's within the space of days.

So I think it's, again, a demonstration to us that sleep, we don't have any real wiggle room.

All of the above plus more. So there's not necessarily just one cause. Let's start at the hierarchical government level. There is no First World nation that I know of that has had a major public health campaign regarding sleep. Why not? We've had it for... drunk driving, we've had safe sex, we've had it for, you know, all of these different things, but there's nothing there for sleep.

And yes, you could argue from a cynical perspective, it's because we want you, you know, from a capitalist society, we really want you to be doing two things. You're either, you know, producing things, or you're buying things, or you're consuming things. And if you're asleep, you're not doing either of those two. So you could argue conspiracy. I don't think it's that.

And I've actually just recently started a public charity, a foundation, specifically designed for global sleep education. Take it a step down. There is the World Health Organization that I spoke to recently. There is no educational module for children translated into 37 different languages across different age ranges that educates them on the importance of sleep.

So no wonder there is a parent to child transmission of sleep neglect. We have to change that too. Some of it is about education. The second part is mental health. We have a rising tide of anxiety in society. People are so stressed and we get people coming into the center at UC Berkeley and they will say, I am so tired. I am just so tired, but I'm so wired that I can't fall asleep.
