00:00:00
Here's the [music] problem with
00:00:01
magnesium supplementation when it comes
00:00:03
to sleep. The first thing to note is
00:00:04
that most forms [music] of magnesium
00:00:06
don't cross the book brain barrier and
00:00:07
sleep is produced by your brain. So, how
00:00:10
can something that doesn't get into your
00:00:12
brain affect brain [music] process? All
00:00:14
you're doing is creating probably
00:00:15
expensive urine.
00:00:18
>> But it doesn't stop there. There's so
00:00:20
much new evidence that we have,
00:00:21
including this myth of 8 hours, my fear
00:00:24
about giving melatonin to kids. Why you
00:00:26
keep waking up in the middle of the
00:00:28
night and the invention [music]
00:00:30
of the first new class of sleeping
00:00:32
medication that I actually favor and
00:00:33
most people are not aware of it.
00:00:35
>> Okay, let me write this down.
00:00:37
>> So, as a society, we have struggles with
00:00:39
sleep at night due to many reasons, but
00:00:41
no one teaches us this stuff. And it's
00:00:43
things like say you go to bed at 11 one
00:00:45
night, 1:00 a.m. the next night, then
00:00:47
10:30 p.m. the next night. And it's
00:00:50
remarkable how many people do this, but
00:00:51
studies have shown that you are
00:00:53
statistically 49% more likely to
00:00:55
prematurely die versus those people who
00:00:58
were most regular in terms of going to
00:00:59
bed and waking up at the same time. And
00:01:01
worse, they had a 57% cardioabolic
00:01:05
disease risk [music] increase.
00:01:06
>> What the science really teaches us that
00:01:08
there are four pillars of good sleep.
00:01:10
And then there's this incredible new
00:01:11
study looking at [music] sleep banking.
00:01:13
And this is remarkable for people who
00:01:15
are facing a sprint at work or a medical
00:01:17
doctor about to go on call for the next
00:01:18
40 hours, new parent. And we can go
00:01:20
through all of that. But if you were to
00:01:22
push me to say the three most impactful
00:01:24
things that you can start doing tonight
00:01:26
to start sleeping better, it would
