Why Sleep?: Watch Matthew Walker’s CNS 2019 Keynote

April 5, 2019

To kick off the 26th annual meeting of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, Matthew Walker (UC Berkeley) gave audience members a detailed look at the myriad physiological and cognitive ways sleep influences people — and the dire consequences associated with not getting enough sleep. His presentation touched on learning, memory, aging, Alzheimer’s disease, and education, as well as disease-related consequences in the body, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The take-home message was simple: Sleep is the single most effective thing we can do to reset the health of our brains and bodies. Watch his talk here:

Walker: people who are sleep deprived have 40% less effective learning of new information, and sleep deprivation will impair the functioning of the hippocampus, a key memory structure #CNS2019 pic.twitter.com/yhsfCScNgh

If sleep truly is so essential for learning then increasing the opportunity for it should be transformative for educational settings –@sleepdiplomat making a case for delaying school start times #CNS2019

Sleep is essential for physiology, cognition and aging, learning, and also… emotional and mental health — a lack of sleep removes regulatory brakes –@sleepdiplomat #CNS2019

“You can sleep when you are dead” — This is mortally unwise advice. The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life. –@sleepdiplomat #CNS2019

Fantastic and insightful opening address by @sleepdiplomat on the importance of sleep for all facets of our life span and health span! #CNS2019 pic.twitter.com/RI3e1dS3Xa
