This is episode 2 of a 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience and psychology and founder of the Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
We discuss basic and advanced tools for improving sleep and explain how sleep quality is affected by temperature, light and dark, caffeine, alcohol, cannabis, nutrition, meal timing, and different medications.
Dr. Walker also provides strategies for coping with a poor night of sleep, wind-down routines, technology in the bedroom, insomnia, visualizations, and building sleep “confidence.”
We also discuss the current status of sleep research for developing advanced techniques to optimize sleep.
This episode provides numerous zero-cost behavioral protocols for improving sleep quality and restorative power, which can benefit daytime mood, energy, performance, and overall health.
The next episode in this special series explores napping, caffeine, and additional protocols to improve sleep.

00:00 🎶 The episode focuses on optimizing sleep, discussing factors like light, temperature, and substances such as alcohol and caffeine. 08:08 💡 Dimming lights an hour before bed can enhance the release of melatonin, aiding in sleep onset. 12:12 🌞 Exposure to morning sunlight or bright light can boost cortisol levels, enhancing mood, focus, and alertness. 18:57 ❄ Keeping the bedroom cool, around 67°F (18.5°C), can facilitate sleep by lowering core body and brain temperatures. 20:05 🚶‍♂ Avoid staying in bed awake for extended periods; if unable to sleep within 20-25 minutes, get up, engage in calming activities, and return to bed only when sleepy. 22:53 ☕ Caffeine intake should be limited to about two or three cups of coffee, and timing matters in cutting off caffeine consumption. 23:21 🍷 Alcohol is often misunderstood as a sleep aid but can actually disrupt sleep by mistaking sedation for natural sleep, fragmenting sleep, and blocking REM sleep. 30:08 🧘‍♂ Engaging in activities like meditation, breathing exercises, or body scans before bed can help shift focus away from anxious thoughts, improving sleep quality. 39:16 🍸 Timing matters when consuming alcohol; even a single glass of wine in the afternoon can impact sleep quality later in the evening. 40:53 🍽 The relationship between food intake and sleep quality is personal, but avoiding high sugar, low protein diets can improve sleep. Experimenting with meal timing can help find what works best for individual sleep patterns. 46:09 🥖 Eating carbohydrates in the evening, especially those containing tryptophan, may support the production of melatonin, potentially aiding sleep quality. 47:04 🛌 Carbohydrate intake can affect sleep quality, with some benefits observed, particularly when consumed earlier in the day. 49:33 ☕ Caffeine is the most widely used drug globally, with Switzerland having one of the highest consumptions per capita. Morning caffeine intake is generally more advisable than afternoon consumption, as it can interfere with sleep quality. 52:04 🌜 Timing of caffeine intake can significantly impact sleep, with afternoon consumption potentially disrupting sleep, especially for early sleepers. 57:50 🧬 Caffeine metabolism varies among individuals due to genetic factors, with some people being more sensitive to its effects than others. 01:04:10 🌿 THC (from cannabis) can help with falling asleep but may lead to tolerance, reduced REM sleep, and withdrawal-related insomnia when discontinued. 01:08:05 💊 CBD shows potential benefits for sleep, but optimal dosage and regulation of CBD products are crucial due to potential wake-promoting effects at low doses. 01:16:05 🌙 After a bad night's sleep, it's best to do nothing: don't sleep in later, go to bed earlier, increase caffeine intake, or nap during the day. Maintaining your regular sleep schedule is crucial for resetting your sleep cycle. 01:24:24 🛌 Limiting time spent in bed can improve sleep efficiency. Bedtime rescheduling, a component of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI), involves reducing time spent in bed to increase sleep drive and improve sleep quality. 01:30:45 🕒 Sleep restriction therapy, also known as bedtime rescheduling, aims to reset the brain's association with sleep by gradually reducing time spent in bed, thereby improving sleep confidence and quality over time. This approach requires motivation and close monitoring to maintain consistency. 01:31:39 🕰 Setting hard deadlines can help eliminate distractions and increase focus, improving productivity. 01:33:13 🌌 A winding down routine before bed is essential for preparing the body for sleep, similar to gradually decelerating a car before stopping. 01:34:20 🐑 Instead of counting sheep, engaging in a mental walk through a familiar route can help distract the mind and facilitate faster sleep onset. 01:37:33 🚫 Removing clocks from the bedroom can alleviate anxiety about time passing during sleep disruptions, promoting better sleep quality. 01:39:26 📱 Excessive phone use, especially before bedtime, can lead to anticipatory anxiety, disrupting sleep patterns and quality. 01:42:12 💡 Advanced tools for sleep enhancement include electrical brain stimulation, acoustic stimulation, thermal manipulation, and kinesthetic manipulation. 01:43:35 ⚡ Electrical brain stimulation, particularly transcranial direct current stimulation, can enhance deep sleep quality and memory consolidation when applied during specific brain wave phases. 01:50:29 ❄ Thermal manipulation involves warming up to cool down before sleep, staying cool to stay asleep, and warming up to wake up, which can significantly impact sleep onset and quality. 01:55:50 🌡 Thermal manipulation increased deep sleep by up to 40 minutes and improved the quality of slow brain waves. 01:56:32 🧓 Thermal manipulation significantly reduced the likelihood of waking up during the second half of the night in older adults. 01:57:39 🛌 Thermo regulatory ability decreases with age, affecting sleep quality, particularly in older adults. 01:59:31 🛁 Taking a warm bath or shower before bed can help induce sleep by causing vasodilation and lowering core body temperature. 02:01:20 💧 Sauna use before bed can disrupt sleep due to dehydration, but using it earlier in the evening can be beneficial for relaxation. 02:04:30 🧦 Developing portable socks with warming technology could aid in improving sleep by warming the feet before bedtime. 02:07:25 🔊 Acoustic stimulation during sleep can enhance deep sleep and sleep spindles, potentially improving memory. 02:10:54 🎶 Pink noise may increase total sleep time, non-REM sleep, and REM sleep, offering potential benefits for sleep quality and memory. 02:14:02 🛏 Rocking motion, such as in a swinging bed, can accelerate falling asleep, increase deep sleep, and enhance sleep spindles, potentially improving memory.

⁠@@PGproductionsHDTo clarify, the average increase for me was probably closer to 1-2 hours/night rather than 4. The hours were already there; fortunately my circumstances allow the time. My issue was losing those 1-2 hours by being awake for that time in the middle of the night (still happens from time to time, but less frequently). Many people may not seem to have the time available, but think about it as getting back those lost hours that you’re awake in the middle of the night (if that is the issue you’re having). If you still don’t have enough time, see what you can do to make sleep more of a priority, but in a way that it doesn’t become an obsession (especially if anxiety is an issue as it is for me). Easier said than done with all the demands of life, I know.

I struggle with sleep in general. I can’t remember the last time I woke up in the morning feeling refreshed. I don’t know if this impacts my sleep but, I have the autoimmune disease called Graves’ disease. I take levothyroxine because I no longer have a functioning thyroid gland. I’m also post menopausal. I know many women in my age group who have trouble with waking up around the “magic hours” of 3 - 3:30 am and can’t get back to sleep quickly. I’m hoping this series touches on medical conditions that affect sleep. With respect to falling and staying asleep, when I go to bed I put soft calming music (without words) on my TV and either read a book or work crossword puzzles. This usually works well for me to wind down and fall asleep. Unfortunately I have a horrible time staying asleep. When I wake up in the middle of the night ( around 3:30 am) I’m wide awake. Usually I can go back to sleep within a couple of hours (not necessarily good), but sometimes I’m awake from 2:30 am until after 5 or 6 am. I try meditation, reading, listening to podcasts or music, drinking chamomile tea and nothing helps. I get very frustrated, which also doesn’t help, and struggle with feeling happy and enjoying life the next day. I’m going to try your advice about going to another room and hopefully it helps. I have a couple of questions. Do we inadvertently train ourselves to have these wake times in the middle of the night, or is it biochemical and we can’t control it? When waking in the middle of the night, would sitting in a recliner in the bedroom to read be as effective as leaving the bedroom to read?

You are a great candidate for CBT-i for your mental and emotional responses to your insomnia, and better thyroid control as Grave's disease plays havoc with sleep in all cases.

If the shows are not all taped, please request that Dr. Walker incorporate the information in his recent hot flashes podcast. I would greatly appreciate if he would speak to how to combine the sleep restriction protocol n the setting of hot flashes - inability to fall asleep because the body will not cool down. Sleep restriction would increase sleep deprivation it seems. Thanks for considering - and thank you most of all for all you do!!!!

Recently was in the hospital for having a bilateral pulmonary embolism (10 blood clots in my lungs) as a healthy 24 year old male. Leading up to me getting sick I had more nights with less than 6hours of sleep than more than 6 hours during that month due to focused work much like Huberman described. As I recovered I could not lose weight (I was in the cut process of my 8 month bulk) even with a 500-700 calorie deficit. In one week of over 8 hours of sleep I am down over 5 pounds. Sleep is massively important. Thank you both! P.S. whoop practically saved my life during my sickness, I don’t think I wouldn’t gone to the hospital if it wasn’t for it. However, the nurses and hospital staff do deserve all the credit. Used it for almost 2 years now. Can’t recommend it enough.

I am loving the sleep series as it's definitely something I and probably alot of people take for granted. The one thought I have with yours and many podcasts like this is. I am good. I don't journal, meditation is a rare occurrence and honestly I don't do much by the way of working out. I had an abusive childhood but like I said I am good. I think it would be interesting to hear you speak to someone like me. I am very open minded but trying to step from "I am fine" to putting the work in is definitely something everyone can relate to. Would love to discuss more.

Re: temperature control during menopause How could the temperature control protocols be more specifically geared toward people in menopause dealing with hot flashes? At times, I will be woken up to 20 times a night by hot flashes. Often, I can go right back to sleep, but I've still woken up and rarely have 90 minutes of un-broken sleep. For those in a chemically induced menopause, we are likely to be in this state for 5 to 10 years. Thank you!

Something I found that helps me sleep is trying to eliminate any guess work. This was briefly touched on when Dr Matthew mentioned taking your self on a walk in your brain that you know with great detail. Something I do is go through a walk of my house prior to sleeping so that I know the status of everything, lock my truck again, check the door locks etc. This makes me stop guessing and focus on what I need to do which is sleep. So I throw on a UKposts video of someone with a calming voice but interesting topic and put the phone face down. Usually I’m asleep before it’s over. This has taken years for me to master. As a kid I slept a few hours a night and took melatonin, I still take melatonin or idk that I would go to sleep. The oddest things use to keep me up. What’s someone’s phone number, a math problem, etc… and my brain wouldn’t allow me to cheat and use a phone or calculator. I had to do it all through a mental exercise. I got good with math as a kid because of this though.

I'm finding this series so helpful. Given what you discussed about thermoregulation and its role in sleep onset and maintenance, I am curious what advice Dr. Walker would give to a post-menopausal woman who awakes nightly due to hot flashes (other than the usual advice of dressing lightly and lowering the temp.) Especially for someone who is unable to take HRT due to health history. Thanks for the great info as always!

Great stuff! I'm really enjoying this series and looking forward to the remaining episodes, thank you both. One question, you've gone over how alcohol, caffeine, THC, and food affect sleep but what about tobacco, specifically nicotine? Obviously, I do know the dangers of smoking but, I must admit I do partake in the occasional cigar at family gatherings and certain events. If I'm smoking late in the evening I always feel as if my sleep has been compromised. I hope you bring this up during this series. Thank you again.

Matt is fantastic. So glad you got him on your extended guest series. A lot of meditation and related practices involve visualisation. This makes them inaccessible to people like myself who have aphantasia. I have had some success with meditation practices that focus on the breath but they don't necessarily work as a sleep aid. Are there specific breath patterns that help prepare us for sleep or inhibit sleepiness?

I am curious about the best way to recover if I have been up and working that entire time. Would it be advised to try to stay awake until my normal bedtime, if possible, rather than sleeping for a period of time in the morning upon completing my shift?

@17:38 about that cortisol spike in the middle of the night. I always have glutamine (1 tsp) dissolved in water (2 dl) ready by my bed, to drink if/whenever I wake up at 2-3 AM due to that cortisol spike. I usually also take another magnesium (2 before bed) and sometimes an ibuprofen (as I have old sportsinjuries). In about 15-20 minutes I feel completely relaxed and fall back into deep sleep, feeling very well rested in the morning. When I don't take that glutamine water, the sleep quality is horrible and the next day is a hellish struggle. For me, no relaxation techniques, breathing, or other protocols fixes the cortisol spike. Daytime I use instant intense resistant training wherever I am (pushups, dips, pullups, squats etc - the "exercise snacks" Huberman talked about) to burn off those cortisol spikes. Living up north I have to use SAD-light (20000lux, 20 cm from my face) in the mornings wintertime when I do morning workout (20-45min) on my stationary bike (listening/watching to the morning news). All year round I have no bright lights on after 7PM turn all screens to lowest light settings, with only a very dim red light and candles. Blackout curtains in my bedroom a must (we have "midnightsun" in the summers). You guys sharing these research-based protocols radically improves the life quality of many people, me included. Thank You for that! My three pillars constantly needed to uphold a balanced life: good quality in sleep (8h), in food (no sugars processed or starches) and in exercise (5/week).

James Hoffman speaks about the excellent quality of some decaf coffees and I believe most of the health benefits remain. I have both "real" beans and decaf beans in the cupboard and often have decaf in the afternoon. I can tell the difference, but black coffee made with my decaf beans from Humblebee is still quite enjoyable. Maybe decaf is the way to go for combined physical and sleep health?
