Summary

In this moment, the world-renowned expert in Neurology and Sleep Medicine, Professor Guy Leschziner outline why sleep is crucial to every aspect of your life, and the biggest mistake people make when it comes to get a good night’s sleep. Humans spend a third of their lives sleeping, however science still understands very little about it. Guy says that sleep is of fundamental importance to humans otherwise evolution would have removed it. Despite its importance, Guy thinks that people underestimate the power of sleep. He’s says that too often people make lifestyle choices that ensure they will have the worst possible sleep, which can then impact everything from their immune system, cardiovascular system, and mental health.

All of a sudden, it seems like AI is everywhere. Whether it's recommending your next series to binge

0:04.4

watch or finding fraudulent charges on your credit card, AI is here to stay. But it needs a lot of

0:09.7

speed and computing power to thrive, which means staying competitive requires an infrastructure

0:14.1

that can keep up, and one that won't see your cost spiraling out of control. Oracle Cloud

0:19.2

infrastructure is the solution with its fast,

0:21.9

hyper-secure platform that gives you everything from database management to application development

0:26.8

and AI tools. And Oracle are a sponsor of this podcast. And here's the kicker. OCI costs 50%

0:32.8

less for compute and 80% less for networking, so you're saving a ton. If you want them to help you do more and

spend less, then give OCI a try at oracle.com slash bartlett. That's oracle.com slash

and yet we, whatever people like me will tell you,

1:20.1

we still understand relatively little about it. We understand relatively little about, you know,

1:26.3

what it's for, what it does to our biology. Obviously, that's changing very, very quickly now.

1:31.1

It's, it has a great deal of overlap with the world of clinical neurology so i also do uh i do specialist clinics in epilepsy and i do specialist

1:38.1

clinics in in general neurology so and and sleep and the brain intersect at every single level. Of course,

1:46.3

you know, it's not me saying this, but a famous statement is sleep is of the brain, by the
