“We can all testify to that, can't we? I think everybody has known that situation where they're very sleep deprived and they think, oh, well, I just need a bit of chocolate or...”

“Certainly some studies do suggest that. I think it's also important to say that sleep disruption or sleep deprivation have some fundamental effects, for example, on your glucose tolerance, so your insulin resistance, which of course is a particular”

“but over the course of those sixteen years they put on much more weight than other groups. So there is a very clear correlation between sleep duration, sleep quality and weight gain. We see that, for example, in individuals who we treat with sleep apnea. So one of the treatment for sleep apnea is a mask-like device that you wear that stops your airway from closing down at night and for some very overweight individuals actually when you treat their sleep apnea they do manage to successfully lose weight where in the past they found it absolutely impossible to do so.”

“So there are probably many mechanisms, but one of the ones that is best understood is that we know that when you're sleep deprived, or indeed when your sleep is disrupted by anything else like, for example, sleep apnea, there are changes that occur in terms of hormone levels of hormones that regulate our appetite and our satiety. And so even a single night of sleep deprivation can result in a dramatic increase in your calorie intake overnight. There have been some studies done, for example, in nurses. So there was a study done that followed up nurses for eighteen years, and they looked at their weight and how much they slept on a regular basis. And what they found is that those nurses that were sleeping less than about six hours a night on a regular basis first of all started off at the beginning of that eighteen year period at a slightly higher”

“Well, I think that certainly we do see some reduction in sleep requirement as we get older. We're also a little bit less good about maintaining sleep as we get older, and that's because the brain mechanisms that stabilize sleep are becoming a little bit weaker. So this view that we need much less sleep as we get older is probably incorrect, although there is a slight reduction in sleep requirement.”

“Well, I think there's two explanations for that. The first is maybe she is one of these genetically short sleepers, although, as I said, that seems rather unlikely. I think the other explanation is we know that I talked a little bit about how genes influence our sleep. We know that there are genes that... influence how resistant you are to the effects of sleep deprivation, and what I mean by that is that there seem to be some individuals who don't feel or who feel less sleepy than other people when they are sleep deprived. But that may be separate from the cognitive effects of sleep deprivation.”

“Sleep also changes, so what the brain does is it prioritizes the very deepest stages of sleep stage three slow wave sleep over other stages of sleep and you know what we can see that in the sleep lab so if somebody's very sleep deprived before they come in and we put them in the sleep lab we see a sort of huge increase in their slow wave sleep which is the stage of sleep that's most associated with restoration with healing with feeling feeling more refreshed than other stages of sleep like for example REM sleep or dreaming sleep”

“Yeah, I'm not sure I can specifically answer. I've certainly seen a lot of people whose sleep has gone to pots after they've had kids and a lot of people say that their sleep has never returned to normal after they've survived having a couple of kids. But what you have to remember is that the brain is a remarkable organ in that it has all of these adaptive mechanisms that enable us to cope with changes in our circumstances, changes in our environment. So if you put somebody in a sleep deprived state,”

“evidence now than actually a change in your sleeping patterns either in terms of how deeply you sleep, how long you sleep, whether or not you napped during the day, that may be a what we term a prodromal feature of Alzheimer's disease.”

“In that we know that there are certain drugs that people will be on, and when you're on drugs that's a marker that your health is not necessarily 100% already, that will make you a bit more drowsy than you normally are and will extend your sleep time. It may be that you have a sleep disorder, which is causing you to sleep more. But there's another interesting potential explanation in that we know that, for example, in certain diseases of the brain, there are changes to your sleep many years before, sometimes even decades before. A really good example of that is Parkinson's disease. So we know that in people with Parkinson's disease, many individuals will start acting out their dreams at night, sometimes even three decades before they then go on to develop Parkinson's disease. So is it that our sleep intrinsically changes as a precursor to certain conditions like Alzheimer's disease? And there is some emerging”

“night's sleep no there isn't because it depends on the nature of who you are and what your genetic inheritance is but certainly we can say on a population basis well you know sleeping somewhere between seven and eight and a half hours a night if you look and a stress on a population basis we see ill effects in terms of sleeping less than seven hours or sleeping more than eight and a half hours if you look at for example or cause mortality or if you look at cardiovascular disease now there are various potential explanations for that certainly if you're sleeping relatively little you we can see that there are changes in terms of how your physiological system works that might give rise to things like”

“So, I think the first thing to say is that sleep is different for everyone. We know that there are genetic factors that influence, for example, your timing of sleep, your circadian rhythm, whether or not you're a morning lark or an evening hour. There are also genetic influences over how much sleep we need. So, for example, there are one or two families that I've seen in my clinical career in whom every single member of that family sleeps for four hours a night and has no ill effects, and does not seem to have any long term consequences from that. They don't feel tired. There's no evidence that they're doing their physical health any harm and there have been some genes that have been identified that define that trait. Now, it's a rare trait, and I wouldn't suggest that most people who are sleeping four hours night think, oh, I must be genetically blessed because the reality is probably somewhat different. So I think that in answer to your specific question, is there a perfect...”

“I mean, I think that there are some individuals that do that. There's a chap called Robert Ekirk who has spent a great deal of time looking at medieval texts and seeing how they described sleep. And he has put forward a hypothesis that in medieval times people would have a first sleep and a second sleep. Now, I think that that theory is not universally accepted, but certainly for some individuals getting up and walking around is certainly within the realms of normality. I think there are different sleep patterns. If you look, for example, at Mediterranean Europe, the siesta culture. So people sleeping for an hour or two at lunchtime but sleeping slightly less at night. So there are a range of sleep patterns that sit within the spectrum of normality for human beings.”

“I think it's normal to wake up in the middle of the night that we all wake up in the middle of the night. It's very rare that you, for example, do a sleep study on somebody and you don't see periods of wake in the middle of the night. It's normal to be awake for up to about 30 minutes over the course of the night. That in itself is not a marker of pathological sleep.”

“The way that modern society is at the moment certainly, I think is rather conducive to insomnia. In fact, you know, when researchers have looked at pre-industrialized societies, so for example tribes in Eastern Africa or in South America actually insomnia is relatively rare and some of these tribes don't even have the word for insomnia. So I think that certainly insomnia seems to be correlated with the changes that have occurred in our society. Sleep apnea is often associated with weight gain and obviously that is very much a function of our modern societies. So yes, undoubtedly some of these conditions can be attributed to the way we lead our lives.”

“When you fall asleep very, very quickly during the day, you're excessively sleepy, you have very vivid dreams, you will often hallucinate as you drift off to sleep or as you wake up, you'll experience something called sleep paralysis where you wake up and you feel that you are completely paralyzed, you cannot move. And a lot of these individuals also experience a condition called cataplexy, which is where usually with strong emotion, like laughter, sometimes it can be the telling of a joke, and they lose muscle strength and will sometimes collapse to the ground. So it's a very pure neurological disorder because we know precisely where that area of immune attack occurs within the brain, and it knocks out a very small number of brain cells to generate this. This is once you have it at the moment, it's a lifelong condition, but actually it can be treated. There are many treatments available, and even in the last five years or so there have been many new treatments that have become available”

“Well, I think it's important to proceed what I say by the fact that actually we don't see many people with insomnia. We tend to divert people with... What we term primary insomnia or insomnia without any underlying causes to a sister service. If you look at insomnia, chronic insomnia as a whole, we know that there are some very good treatments for chronic insomnia. And actually most of those treatments are focused on non-drug-based treatments, psychological based treatments. And we know that those kinds of treatments will significantly improve sleep in up to about 80% of individuals. So that's a very large number, actually. And there are other treatments available. It doesn't just rely on these non-drug-based treatments. There are some conditions like, for example, narcolepsy”

“which is a neurological disorder whereby people experience an urge to move, a fidgetiness in their usually their legs, although it can affect other body parts as well that can give rise to very huge difficulties getting off to sleep and actually staying asleep because a lot of these individuals kick at night when they are asleep and kick themselves awake. And that probably affects somewhere in the region about 5% of the adult population, even sleepwalking. One to two percent of the population, so lots and lots of these conditions, very, very common.”

“which is essentially part of the spectrum of snoring, but in obstructive sleep apnea, your airway narrows, you have difficulty breathing, it partially obstructs, and you have recurrent brief awakening sometimes that you're not aware of, that disrupt your sleep. And estimates where vary wildly depending on where in the world that they've been done, but I think our best guess is something like ten to twelve percent of adult males experience sleep apnea, clinically significant sleep apnea, and somewhere in the region of about six percent of women experience clinically significant sleep apnea. So we're talking about very, very large numbers. And the majority of individuals with sleep apnea are undiagnosed. So it's estimated that about 80% of people in the UK with sleep apnea don't know that they've got sleep apnea and have never seen anybody about sleep apnea. There are other conditions like restless legs.”

“So we think that about twenty percent of the adult population are chronically sleep deprived, so that they are not sleeping enough. And that's largely as a result of lifestyle factors and lack of prioritization of sleep. We think we know that about 30% of the adult population in any one year will experience a period of insomnia. So insomnia is different from chronic sleep deprivation. Insomnia is the state whereby you want to sleep where you're lying in bed and you can't sleep, which is very different from burning the candle at both ends. And about 10% of the adult population will have chronic insomnia. That's an ongoing issue with not being able to sleep for more than three months at a time. Very, very high numbers. There are some other sleep disorders that are incredibly common. So a condition called obstructive sleep apnea.”

“Yes, I think so. I think that there is a danger at the current time that we tend to obsessionize about sleep and think that it is the be-all and end-all. It's of course part of normal life for sleep to fluctuate, depending on what's going on in our external and our internal lives. And I think the danger is that if you overemphasize the importance of getting eight or eight and a half hours sleep every night, then you actually risk problems later down the line, exacerbating things like insomnia.”

“Well, I think it's changing, I think it was not that long ago where comments like Sleep is for Wimps was heard fairly frequently and that there were some bragging rites associated with how little you sleep. I think that there has been a transformation over the last 15 or 20 years whereby people have become much more aware of how important sleep is and have started prioritizing it a little bit.”

“Important, I say precisely, but we know that it's important for pretty much every aspect of our waking lives, be it our immune system, be it our cardiovascular system, our blood pressure, risk of diabetes. Mental health, so depression and anxiety, even how we perceive pain, so it really is fundamental to every system that we rely on during our waking lives.”

“A risk for our survival, because if you're an aquatic mammal like a dolphin and you're sleeping and you're unable to surface or unable to see what predators are around you, that evolution has designed a system whereby it enables you to sleep with half of your brain at a time. So that in and of itself tells us it's important. The fact that the circadian rhythm, so that 24 hour cycle, that a whole host of biological rhythms have, is so intrinsically linked to life itself that actually every single lifeform exhibits features of this 24 hour circadian rhythm tells us that this was something that was prioritized at a very, very early stage in life's evolution on Earth.”

Neurology is the clinical study of the brain, so the brain in its diseased tate, so we see individuals with epilepsy, with Parkinson's disease, with nerve problems, with certain types of sleep disorders. Basically any disease or disorder that influences how the brain and the nervous system works. So I did a PhD at Imperial and Cambridge looking at the genetics of epilepsy and then started working as an NHS consultant in 2010.”

So, you know, from when it comes to individuals who have very extreme sleep disorders to individuals in whom their perception of reality is very different from our own, or to people who behave in a very different way. So when it comes to things like aggression or the way their relationship with food or their personality traits, I think in every area of clinical neurology, you see individuals in whom something has happened to their brain that fundamentally changes the way they see the world, interpret the world, or behave within that world.”

So really at the core of what I do, particularly in the public-facing work that I do, it's looking at those people at the extremes of the human experience.”
