We're never taught why we sleep or how it works, so we ignore it until something breaks. The speaker asks basic questions most people can't answer: what happens during sleep, why eight hours, what neurorestorative sleep actually means.

Chapters

I really want to talk about how I believe we have been thinking about sleep all the wrong way. A lot of times I say that there's 2 things we weren't taught in school: how to sleep and finances, right? I gotta sleep all day. You know, it's just we start learning the wrong information, misinformation, and we really don't even think about sleep Until we can't. We weren't taught about why the brain needs sleep. Why do we sleep? I mean, what happens when we sleep? Why can we sleep? Why do we sleep for 8 hours? There's just so many questions that we have about sleep that we were never taught or properly informed about, especially neurological sleep, which we refer to as neurorestorative sleep.
