The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
125. Kristen Holmes: WHOOP’s Principal Scientist Reveals Game-Changing Research

You know, interestingly, I saw there was a sleep physician, I forget his name. He's got the long blonde hair, but he was on Huberman. Oh, Matthew Walker? Yes. Dr. Matthew Walker? Yeah. One of the statistics that he put forward, and I don't want to misquote it, so I'm going to paraphrase it, which was astounding to me, was about daylight savings time.

and about the increase in cardiovascular events and the decreasing, the concomitant decrease in cardiovascular events. So when we lost an hour of sleep, there was a corresponding spike repeatedly in cardiovascular events. And when we actually gained an hour of sleep, there was a corresponding decrease. And this happened over and over and over on the daylight savings times each year.

When people are vulnerable already, sleep is just going to throw you over the edge. Yeah, you're right on that edge. And sleep regularity, right? Like mistimed sleep or changes in your typical sleep-wake time just really throw your system for a loop. And I think that study is evidence of that.

And I think it's becoming so much more mainstream and in vogue for people to really pay attention to their sleep. I know Brian Johnson talks about it being your superpower, the biggest superpower that he's discovered in his life. Journey with Blueprint. And I'm a big believer in that. I mean, a few years ago, I stopped. I started scheduling all of my meetings and travel around sleep and exercise.

Nice. And what a dramatic difference it has made in... My psyche. Yeah. Just, I don't know how to sort of paraphrase it, but just like my level of happiness and contentness and the readiness I have for meetings and preparedness for podcasts. I mean, that's why I put the podcast here in my home.

And just what you're talking about is circadian alignment. So when you look at the consequences of circadian misalignment, it's increases in cancer risk, it's cardiovascular disease, it's diabetes, it's obesity, mood disorders, psychiatric disorders, right? Like there is not a mental health issue that circadian disruption doesn't touch.
