Rhonda Patrick mentioned Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker 4 times

Great tips in the episode and notes ranging from practical to sci-fi like tDCS, wet suits & rocking beds. Practical: Maintaining a dark, cold room in the 60s, appropriate timing for your chronotype, avoiding light at night/getting bright light early. Watch ep. & get Matt's book!

Matthew Walker, Ph.D., is a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and serves as the Director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. Formerly, Dr. Walker served as a professor of psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School. Walker's research examines the impact of sleep on human health and disease. One area of interest focuses on identifying "vulnerability windows" during a person's life that make them more susceptible to amyloid-beta deposition from loss of slow wave sleep and, subsequently, Alzheimer's disease later in life. Dr. Walker earned his undergraduate degree in neuroscience from the University of Nottingham, UK, and his Ph.D. in neurophysiology from the Medical Research Council, London, UK. He is the author of the New York Times best-selling book Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams.

The figures pictured come from a study shared with me by Dr. Matt Walker (author of Why We Sleep) is from a trial that showed that simulating a light/dark cycle in a neonatal intensive care resulted in better outcomes for pre-term infants in terms of oxygen saturation, feeding, weight gain and ultimately leaving the NICU.
