A short monologue (YouTube Short) by Ashish Kothari discussing effects of sleep deprivation. The speaker references a Matthew Walker study claiming that 10 days of sleeping six hours or less reduces cognitive performance to levels similar to staying awake 24 hours, and notes observable daily declines in speed and creativity, especially in teens.

Chapters

I remember the study by Matthew Walker which basically showed 10 days of six hours or less of sleep. By the end of those 10 days, your level of cognitive performance is at the same level if you went the whole 24 hours without sleeping. Right. So if you really want to experience as dear friends, go 24 hours without sleeping, see how clearly you're seeing and just connect with that. And notice the next time you actually go for a long period with six hours, what's happening? And I saw that with my teens. We see it all the time. Every day. People get a little slower, it takes them a little bit longer. The thinking is not as creative by the end of the day.
