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

Okay. So talk to me, you know... people might not be able to work out what the different quartiles would be. If 15 to 20 minutes of wiggle room for both going to sleep and waking up, I would actually guess that most people, more people in terms of regularity will have their wake time versus their sleep time in that most people have a thing that they need to do.

The alarm goes off and whether you like it or not, you are up. for many people, the same isn't true when you go to sleep. So I'm going to imagine that there's more wobble on the bottom end, less wobble on the top end. But talk to me about... What's the upper quartile and what are we looking at here? How deep does the trough go of swings?

Yeah, the highly irregular people were somewhere between two to two and a half hours variable. So in other words, they may have an offset of going to bed or waking up or just some wiggle room of an hour difference. You know, one side of their mean and then an hour, the other side of the mean.

So again, it doesn't sound like too much. I mean, how many times have you watched one extra episode of Game of Thrones or something? And then, oh, fuck. That's me at the bottom quartile of wiggle room. And then maybe you wake up later. Maybe you haven't got work in the morning.

You know, I mean, God, I said this to you before we got started, but I was running night clubs for my entire 20s, 15 years. And the first time I ever had a stable sleep and wake pattern was COVID as an adult. The first time I ever had it, I would go... Dunning? Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. I also have to say to you, it must be interesting for you.

I wonder whether you've ever considered how many years of life you've saved on the entire planet, because I certainly know that before your first episode on Rogan, I didn't care about sleep. Yours was the first time when you spoke to Joe, I think it was 1109, the podcast number. And... That was the first time that I ever thought, oh, I really need to care about this.

Like, you know, the number of doctors or surgeons that end up back in the same hospital after they've gone home to do this thing. But that was me. So I would, you know, wake up at, say, 10 or something like that. Get up, I'd train, a bit of a walk, do whatever I needed to do, work. And then I'd set off to go to Manchester from Newcastle at...
