Sleep is a twilight zone where personal problems get either amplified so that they become tangible or even get solved. He's right about one thing: it's not only 8 hours minimum you need, you should care about the quality of sleep you get. Especially that tendency of some people being completely K.O. and unproductive after lunch is a thing you should solve the right way.
Though, the facts that he's a TED talks resident and that he's selling apps doesn't do much damage to his actual research, but it definitely explains why he's "the most talked about sleep scientist". I must admit that I don't trust a scientist who deliberately draws attention to their work instead of being just that good to generate buzz.
- smt88 8y agoIf you think that coverage of scientific work can come entirely from merit and require no advocacy work on the part of the scientist, you must be very new to science or human society. There's a lot of noise, misinformation, and advertising that real science has to punch through. It doesn't happen by accident.
- tmpb 8y ago> completely K.O. and unproductive after lunch That's totally me. At that point I have no choice than to entirely skip lunch to be productive in the afternoon. Even eating a little can make me dramatically less productive. > you should solve the right way. What's the way to solve this? Sleeping more helps me but only a bit and I still get K.O. after lunch. I've researched this many times but never found any solution. Would love so much to fix that. Thanks!
- mlrtime 8y agoSame here, I get so tired after lunch. I did a full blood panel and nothing abnormal. I eat low carb, healthy lunches and I still get tired. The only thing that helps is a strong coffee or a nap.
