neil82 1,008 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 mine`s all over the place, back injury has really fukced me up, sleep for anything from 30 minutes to 3 hours but that will be at any time, think it`s working out at a max of 4 hours in any 24 hour period, talking with others who had similar injuries pre-covid the waiting time for surgery was 2 years god knows what it will be now, time to catch the underside of a train!

Bush Rummager 3,744 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Interesting fella that Matt Walker. I listened to the Rogan podcast a while ago and he was recently on Hubermans podcast. Makes you realise how important sleep actually is after listening to him! Walker has his own poddy now. I haven't checked it out yet mind. The Matt Walker Podcast WWW.SLEEPDIPLOMAT.COM 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,622 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 I suspect he lays it on a bit thick ($ to be made) but I do respect a lot of what he says. Many people are constantly looking for the next super food or supplement or exercise when really they’d be better off just getting better quality sleep. The concept of more sleep = progress is at odds with the current paradigm of “be a savage”. Famously Arnold said “sleep less!” which has been mimicked by many more athletes who brand themselves as being more ‘extreme’ than us mere ‘average’ mortals. There’s an endless list of catch phrases that epitomise that thinking. This guy is a breath of fresh air and I think has given more prominence to science driven athletes and successful professionals. People who see value in the “be a f***ing savage” mantras, but as a tool for forming a really strong motivational part of their identity but are smart about applying it. They know when it becomes damaging. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,352 Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 I have a real problem with sleep or lack of it. 4 hours max is normal for me, every night. Always exhausted/fuzzy and it affects my memory too. Did some tests etc and even the neurologist was giving it WTF. Something to do with my deep sleep pattern being half as long as it should be. Can’t take pills because they leave me like a smack head. Best sleep I ever have is after a mushroom session Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had a seizure a couple of years ago and suddenly it came to a head. I never even thought about it until the Dr brought it up after that sleep machine test. He was shocked that I was still able to function 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
