Matthew Walker If we didn’t need eight hours of sleep and could survive on six, Mother Nature would have done away with 25 percent of our sleep time millions of years ago.

I think one of the problems with insufficient sleep is people are not very good at predicting how poorly they are doing when they are under-slept. Regularity is a key: going to bed at the same time, waking up at the same time no matter what. But I think, also, it’s not just about quantity – that’s what we’ve been discovering. It’s also about quality.
