I read "Why We Sleep" in February, and I don't think I've ever read something that made me so drastically change some aspect of my lifestyle. Picked up an @ouraring for more sleep tracking goodness.pic.twitter.com/WclZiRTGCS

Big takeaways: the impact of sleep on recall *after* learning a thing (as opposed to before); that afternoon naps are correlated to better health outcomes, and that screens before bed are bad (https://twitter.com/tommycollison/status/1098621388359819264 …)
I recently listened to the Blinkist summary of that book, and even that was inspiring. The takes on sleep deprivation and sleepwalking were very interesting, and the drowsy driving part was very instructive.
Oh, almost forgot -- night owl-ism is a real thing! I was always a little bit skeptical.
Also to improve sleep- • Cool body temp before sleep - ideal sleeping temperature is 65°F. Try exposing palms, feet while sleeping / take hot bath prior • Don’t drink alcohol unless it is completely metabolized by sleep time • Don’t drink caffeine, esp. not in afternoon
- Lack of sleep will cause a deterioration in everything you may think of (Which makes me think maybe the author might be overstating the case but), everything from cognitive performance to diabetes. - People think they can get away with 5 hours sleep, but they can't
rather, they have habituated themselves to their impaired sleep deprived lives. Only a few people (There's a SNP for it!) can get away with less sleep than 7-9 hours.
sleeping and waking up at a consistent time is important
Loved Walker on Joe Rogan talking about his book....
His talk at Google is also a nice summary (he also speaks slowly and clearly so it's an easy one to do at 2x). The scariest for me is how lack of sleep relates to faster cancer cell growth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXflBZXAucQ …
1. Good sleep habits* lead to significantly better physical and mental health outcomes *see next tweets
2. Good sleep habits include (nothing particularly revolutionary here): - get 8 hours - go to sleep and wake up at same time (if you go to sleep late, still wake up at same time the next day) - sleep in a cold room - significantly limit caffeine - it has a half life of 6 hours
