  • Summary

  • We all know sleep is important, but most of us don’t realize just how much it shapes our health—from metabolism and heart function to emotional well-being and even social connections. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with world-renowned sleep expert Matthew Walker, PhD, to uncover the science behind why sleep is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for longevity. In this fascinating conversation, we discuss: Why Dr. Walker sees sleep as the foundation of good health and how it enhances the benefits of diet and exercise. The dramatic effects of even mild sleep deprivation on cognitive function and emotional health. How poor sleep can disrupt blood sugar regulation and increase the risk of chronic disease. The science behind deep sleep and its role in memory, learning, and brain detoxification. Simple, science-backed strategies to improve your sleep quality starting tonight. If you’ve ever struggled with sleep—or just want to optimize your health—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
