Dr. Matt Walker: Using Sleep to Improve Learning, Creativity & Memory | Huberman Lab Guest Series

Dr. Walker has repeatedly been saying, "You should wake up feeling refreshed." After realizing I wake up every day feeling groggy, his statement finally sunk in. The last few days I've gone to bed just 30 minutes earlier and I have, indeed, been waking up feeling refreshed. I can actually concentrate for much longer on my work now. THANK YOU BOTH for this series!

i wish all people could communicate in this calm polite manner as these two human beings. fantastic info, thank you

Sleep is so underrated. This should be a wake up call of how critical sleep is for all aspects of life. Master your sleep and you'll get ahead of 99% of people. Amazing episode!

Prof Huberman, because of your talks I have learnt to wake up every morning with hope. I can't thank you enough.🙏

You guys should do an episode specifically for peri and menopausal women. Hoe sleep affects them. How things change duration menses etc.

Can’t tell if it’s ironic that I listen to Matt Walker to fall asleep to. His low croak is the right soothing sound for me.

Dude, Matthew Walker is a Poet Scientist , no cap. The Einstein bit, traveling back in time, the delivery - chef's kiss

NO ONE should be working 16-30 hour shifts, let alone people in charge of saving human lives... for both their sake and the sake of others.

Well, it’s happened again. I started watching this podcast with the intent of watching for a few minutes then come back to it later, but 45 minutes into it I’m still standing here unable to walk away. This happens every time a new podcast comes out. So much information, so clearly presented, so vital for our everyday life. Clearly you have a gift to make this information so accessible and interesting so thank you for that. And my 70-year-old sleep deprived brain is particularly interested in this series. I already see improvements in my sleep so thank you for that too.

Matt Walker is amazing. He speaks poetically and gives wonderful examples. Love him! Thank you both for this amazing sleep series. I am excited for the next episode!

Can we now PLEASE have an episode on lucid dreaming!

-"Dr. Walker". +"Dr. Huberman". I mean, that was like the shortest, easiest, most honest way to mutually show respect to each other. Such classy gentlemen. Thank you.

I've looked forward to every single episode in this series since the first. I truly can't elucidate how much this knowledge has helped me. I've been feeling fantastic. My appreciation is off the charts! Thank you.

Pillars of Health!(01:44:38)👍 What are the six things that make the greatest contribution to good health? 1) Sleep? Yes, got it. Including sunlight and darkness? 2) Good nutrition? and 3) Movement? Most people would probably agree. 4) Social connection - relationship to others? 5) Thoughts - relationship to one self? I'm so glad that you, Dr. Huberman, have made episodes on mental health, meditation and science of gratitude. 6) Environment? e.g. coping with heat waves, air pollution (PM2.5 etc.), spending time in nature (podcast AMA #10), and vitamin D from sunlight. I mean, the environment is different if you live in Bel Air or in downtown Los Angeles, or in the area of Death Valley, CA. The environment you live in will affect your health. Maybe a seventh category could be added: society? Things that also matter are availability of clean water, health care, education, work to make a living, and so on. There are differences between living in Tijuana in Mexico and living in Aspen, CO. I got the inspiration to write the questions and the six categories above, after having read the book "Halsogatan" by Dr Anders Wallensten, MD. (This book was published in 2020, and is not in english.) In the country where I live we have our own "local Dr Hubermans". One of them is Dr Wallensten, and I think the most famous one is Dr Anders Hansen (author of "The Attention Fix" (2023) and other books)

The episode nobody suggests but all secretly want: Matt Walker and Jocko Willink

Sounds like my bed is the ultimate classroom!

Huge ❤ from 19YO student of yours ❤from india 🇮🇳 andrew huberman sir 🙌

I have never paid this much attention to sleep in my life, but I’m here for it. If I could just get all of my obligations on board to follow this. 😆 I am making changes though. Thanks, Dr. Huberman!

I have been struggling with sleep literally since before I was born (according to mom I was very active at night during pregnancy). I have a terrible memory and don't remember much of my life in any type of linear fashion and have alot of trouble focusing. Last night was a rare night I got a bit over 7 hours and I feel amazing. Still haven't been able to cure my insomnia but these conversations are an invaluable resource and great motivation to keep trying. Thank you Matt and Andrew!

Dr Matthew Walker is truly an intellectual artist within his field. Always pushing forward and creating new perpectives on sleep as we know it. Also hats off to Dr Andrew Huberman for providing us with eternal knowledge consistenly and constantly. 🎉
