Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1155DM Sleep scientist Matthew Walker explains that six hours of sleep a night for years isn't neutral, it's compounding damage to your heart, your brain, your blood sugar. One week at four to five hours of sleep and your blood sugar looks pre-diabetic. One week. Daylight savings is basically a global experiment on 1.6 billion people. Lose one hour in spring, heart attacks jump 24% the next day. Gain that same hour back in fall and heart attacks drop 21%. Bidirectional. Fast. Real. Federal judges hand out harsher sentences the week after losing an hour of sleep. Their mood tanks and someone else pays for it. We're the only species that voluntarily robs itself of sleep, so evolution never built us a safety net for it. Shorter sleep, shorter life. Not a metaphor, an actual mortality predictor.

  • What is that saying to your genes?

  • And is there a way to recover the gene damage and reverse

  • and go back to a healthy genes, healthy body, healthy life?

  • So firstly, we know that short sleep duration, so using that sweet spot,

  • and we can speak about oversleeping or excess sleep,

  • because I think that's an interesting part that hasn't been spoken about too much.

  • But using that recommended CDC amount of seven to nine hours of sleep, there is a simple fact,

  • firstly, across the lifespan, which is the shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.

  • That short sleep predicts all-cause mortality.

  • But then we can dig a little bit deeper and start to sort of ask, you know, exactly what is going on?

  • Why is there such mortality risk caused by insufficient sleep?

  • And what we know is that a lack of sleep and typically getting certainly less than six hours of sleep is associated

  • with a high risk of cardiovascular disease, high risk of diabetes, high risk of stroke, high risk of dementia.

  • And I would love to double click on that and go into the Alzheimer's
