We sympathize but the sad truth is that while balance is difficult (and sometimes negotiated daily), it is possible. And if we don\u2019t find a healthy balance between all the must-do\u2019s in a day and sleep, we\u2019ll quickly learn the high health price we\u2019ll pay as we age.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been making mattresses since the great depression, way back when black and white TV\u2019s were a luxury, long before cell phones, microwaves and debit cards. Way back then, sleep was something you simply did \u2013 rather than worry about. We grew up with your grandparents and, in your lifetime, have honed our mattress-making skills with cutting edge technology (like temperature-controlled sleep<\/a>), meshing the timeless need for sleep with our cutting edge materials and designs.<\/p>\n But mattresses aren\u2019t miracles and if you don\u2019t make time for sleep, even the best mattress won\u2019t help you get and stay healthy. Need some help finding your sleep balance? A TED original series explores the science of sleep and how you can tap into that science to live your best life.<\/p>\n Matt\u00a0Walker’s research examines the impact of sleep on human health and disease. He got his\u00a0PhD from the Medical Research Council in London, UK, and subsequently became a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He’s currently a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of the\u00a0Center for Human Sleep Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n Walker has received funding awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, and he’s a Kavli Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences. He has shared his research on the importance of sleep on television and radio outlets including CBS’s \u00ab60 Minutes,\u00bb National Geographic, NOVA Science, NRP and the BBC. He is the author of the international bestseller\u00a0Why We Sleep<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and host of the TED original series\u00a0Sleeping with Science<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Sleep is your life-support system and Mother Nature’s best effort yet at immortality, says sleep scientist Matt Walker. In this deep dive into the science of slumber, Walker shares the wonderfully good things that happen when you get sleep — and the alarmingly bad things that happen when you don’t, for both your brain and body. Learn more about sleep’s impact on your learning, memory, immune system and even your genetic code — as well as some helpful tips for getting some shut-eye.<\/p>\nMatt Walker\u2019s Sleeping with Science TED Talks series<\/h2>\n
