Will that what kind of rest, There is also something called active rest were its that you're not doing anything. It's that you're doing something different here today does the rather extraordinary power of rest and sleep Is physician, doktor, Matthew, Edlin.

Andrew edlin, directs the center for circadian medicine and is an internationally recognized expert on rest and sleep and biological clocks he's the Author of several books, including. power of rest, wife, leap alone is not enough. I doctor thanks for coming on. Thanks for having been so. What is so important beyond the obvious. What is so important about rest and sleep you have to rebuild. Your body? If rebuild your body, it doesn't work. It turns out that sweep is like food if you rub sleep enough in any organism, but sleep that organism dies so effectively. We need sleep like we need and we also need rest because we have to re, grow and rebuild our bodies continually or they won't work.

Oh, what's the difference when I'm sleeping I'm resting so can I kill two birds with one stone or they two different things sweep is a kind of subset of rest the very special kind of roads because were generally not conscious, so we spent about we use but about. Third, now we spend about seven hours a night on average sweeping at which point we re, grow brain cells. We actually got new brain cells. We grow skin in a much more rapid rate we completely shift over our immune system. We basically we set the whole system while we sleep but rest itself. Is the idea of restoring and rebuilding the body Doing that allow the time when we are also conscious as well. I think it's easier to understand from this them

Did you see the body as a giant information system or as a group of information systems that have to update in order to survive but have to update because the environment themselves that they live in has changed? Then you see that rest becomes unnecessary part, because you just gotta make that this term reset grow and renew. So what does it look like, ideally at mean m? Am I stopping every hour to rest? There were adieu, I rest bob before dinner. What what is it in a practical every day person's life? What's ideal. Rest. Look like I do. Arrest looks like a state of relax concentration first, if you hi, what's sweep as a special kind of rest during the day, you want to be able to keep your mind

stay, where you are able to do what you really want to do well and comfortably to get there? There are lots and lots of different rests techniques that people have so that they can themselves down enough to get to that state where they can do. or and get more done from the standpoint of physiology different parts of their body are arresting all the time. For example, if you're not running a marathon chances are at this moment ray growing, your muscle cells, your re growing, your connective tissue cells. You re growing, your heart cells. All is a part of rest. Now, if you go out new start running spring,

swarm, or you run a marathon you're, not gonna, be able to do that. We growth at that point so in that sense, rest, is something that we are doing in the background a lot of the time, but in terms of actual conscious rest, another experience for that would be flow. There's that great psychologists, chicks are behind. You started studying the whole element of flow in the nineteen sixties, any real was that a lot of people would talk about these periods, where they were really focused on what they were doing so much so that they weren't paying attention to the time and they paying attention to being self conscious. When people can get into a state of flow, they often tend to feel a whole,

better like when people are having a very pleasant conversation when somebody they like in a really into it or their reading, a good book. Those can be states of flow. There also profoundly restful, but I guess the main idea of rest is that its regenerative, its restorative, its rebuilding its renewing its, not the EU Conscious thought of how I got arrested. I got a out in front of the tv We ve heard that people don't get enough sleep do people not get enough rest absolutely, because people are so focused on their cell phone. They're so focused on their screens that in many cases, at least from a mental standpoint I don't have enough downtime to just recharge themselves. I mean yes, the population doesn't get enough sleep

and you see that all over the place in grumpy unhappy people, you see it all over the place and people who just don't feel alert and alive and don't feel relaxed. I mean one of the one of the more interesting studies that was done many years ago at the national institutes of mental health. Is they actually put people into places where where there was no clear sun, they controlled their light on their own and they allowed them to sleep or rest as much as they liked. They could also do a lot of other things. Reading exercising and so forth, and what happened at the end of the study was that people did wanted to end because they said they never knew what it was to be alert. Never knew what it was to be this relaxed before in their lives, and I think, a large population now never really feels relaxed, So how do you figure out if you're getting enough arrest and then how do you incorporate more rest into your life. You look

Is that the issue of sweep? Can get enough sweep to feel alerting alive during the day. People will tell you that, with their kids and with their work, they really can't. So try to save them? Ok. What can you do to hive off as much sweet time as you can see feel alert and alive and a lot of people major trade offs that part of population that does shift work. That's really tough one, but when you explain to people that example: sweep is needed to control your way that sweep is needed. Perform well that sleep is needed to prevent, for example, what happens in Monday morning when you have the peak of heart attacks in the united states. You basically lead people now just like food and if you get enough of it or you try to get enough of it, you're going to function better

as the whole aspect of rest, where you kind of set of people are right, your bodies, not a machine, don't treat it like a machine. They're gonna, be periods of time. Your body, clocks, where you're more alert carry The time where you're, not so alert try, if possible, to alternate mental and physical activity. A lot of people tell that they come back after their work day and are completely and totally exhausted, now they exhausted from physical exertions, usually not What they're doing during the day is getting mentally exhausted filling, doing too many things together, all at once, they're not finishing the tasks they have in front of them. How do you deal with that? Oddly enough and to physical activity. Alternating mental with physical activity will often recharge and restart pc,

so you may go for a walk. Go for a walk, especially with a friend get some sunlight. Things where you can be socially mentally. physically active another way. Look at this say. What's health and a lot of people like doctors will tell you as I just went to my nearly physical, in great shape you, your cholesterol, was low and all that kind of thing, but that's not what real health is world health organization talks about health as full, physical, mental and social well, to which I would add spiritual, well being a sense of purpose and meaning a sense of connection with something larger than self so another way that you can rest through the days to say? Ok, what By doing now that can help my physical wellbeing, my social well being my went, the mental wellbeing and my senses having some purpose and for a lot of people taking a walk with a friend

accomplish a lot of that. What is your sense for the typical in obviously everyone's different, but for the typical person like went when they go to work in the morning, they can go full speed. Head for how long before the body starts to compromise? It's doing well it's gonna- relate to how much sleep I had the night before and while the things that are worried about, but there are different cycles in the union by ok and there's the twenty four hour cycle. That has been a lot of my career on, but there are also even ninety minutes cycles and you find, for example, that a lot of people can't do really intense work for more than ninety or hundred twenty minutes at a time that they have to change tasks. a little while in order to just continue productivity at a similar rate? So what I would say is it has a lot to do with flow, whether you feel really focused on what you're doing It has a lot to do with how well rested you were in terms of sweep and has a lot to do.

motivation, if you're on a job, you hate, it's a lot harder to really concentrate on it, but basically people can go for several hours in the morning pretty well, especially for a body clock standpoint. The late morning, people tend to get pretty alert. The real problem for a lot of people comes in the afternoon because until we had electric lights and industrial asian people generally napped and a lot of people are just not that sharp and the early mid afternoon. They tend to pick up around four five p m. The population can work pretty well and it's interesting worldwide that you end up in a lot of industrial countries with like thirty five forty, our work weeks.

You dont, tend to see them going more than that, and there are arguments that when you start working people more than like forty five hours a week, forty five fifty hours productivity really falls off. But there are so many different factors and that that you can't you see This one thing I'm talking with doktor matthew, edlin, he's a physician and author of the book, the power of rest wife, leap alone is not enough, so math when I think of rest. When someone says let take a rest. Rest means get up from here: go sit over there or lie down close your eyes, and rest, and you know, but but it that's out necessarily what you're talking about. I think of rest as active, I think of rested highly active as well.

The body and the brain reset and restore themselves, and I think, there's literally thousands of ways of doing that. It's not a passive process, if you think of rest in terms of sweep sure that's a very positive thing that's gonna, be controlled by body clocks and that's necessary to wife. They say with any animal if you speak to private long enough, it died. Sweep is like food. Why? Because your restoring, building re, growing, large amounts of tissue and the whole human information system. While you sleep now during the day, What I would argue is you try to alternate mental and physical activity, because there are such things as active rest, like a very pleasant conversation with friends. Were colleagues

going out and taking a walk with your family. Those sorts of things provide a real sense of well being, and it can be physical. It can be social, it can be mental, but you try to aim for these things. You try to aim for, for example, better, physical and mental. Well, being you try to aim for flow activities? I think what happens with a lot of the population as we get used to the passive activities, because in many cases they're pretty addictive, I mean social media. pretty addictive tv can be pretty addictive. It's easy it's comfortable, but not necessarily gonna restores the way we really want. often times, I find myself I'll work for a couple of hours. I'll sit right here where I am right now and I can tell I'm I'm getting tired and I'll go over to the couch. That's six feet away and lie down and close my eyes and wow great ideas that I would have never thought of sitting here. I

gov over their short because napkin What was not a nap, I'm not falling asleep, I'm just I'm just lie in their basically, then you're thinking doing. I mean some people will call that meditated, but that to me, some kind of rest activity and that's a rest activity, which is highly active, but its mentally active and your allowing your brain to go in many different directions, which, for a lot of people, is money more comic creative times they're going to have and what you're doing is your alternating activities, which is also really import, the eye, We can treat ourselves as a machine. My computer doesn't care if it's working, twelve or twenty four hours a day. I do we're not built that way. We are built to do things in segments, and it's interesting that you say it's at about two hours because that's true of a large part of the population, they can't really

away at things with great intensity for more than ninety or one hundred twenty minutes. They do, but they don't necessarily keep being as productive, What is social rest such arrested simply connecting with other people its having somebody that you feel you can converse with and have if the conversation but an internal communication, you feel that there is somebody who's behind you and that's a really big factor in people's overall physical health, as it turns out when people, for example, have a lot or social support. Yeah I mean these studies were even done in the nineteen seventies and they just literally added up how many people you knew and how many people you had contact with friends, colleagues, acquaintances and they found that the people who have the most connections hand about three quarters: less heart disease than the people who had relatively

few we are social animals and we tend to feel a lot better. When were around others. We can talk to communicate with and have some sense if they care about, what's happening to us, it's my experience anyway. That that rest seems be easier. feels better and more restful in an environment that is uncluttered or at least ordered as apply. to trying to rest amidst chaos that that humans, sir, to have some desire for order, we like order because to a shared agree. Our bodies are built on time. We like order in time and even aesthetically. We like order in space find things to be beautiful if they're well ordered and their highly symmetric. If you go into say expensive. Restaurants, where you go the very beautiful story-

so you're going to museums. Usually I going to see them. It's disordered and cluttered. A large part of our aesthetics, especially our classical aesthetics- and this is true, east and west- involves a plein, cymbeline, a sense of order and particular kinds of proportions. We feel good in that. settings not in very cluttered ones, that I know you make the case that the rest of us Oh helps us become smarter may. It makes us biologically smarter, so explain that, for example, physical activity, if you go out side and you walk every twenty or thirty minutes, grow. New brain cells you to grow them in sweep and you're gonna grow them in memory areas where the boy creating more memory storage because moving Three dimensional space demands a lot of attention. There are changes.

logically the changes in our muscles, there are changes in our immunity. The whole bit and we actually make ourselves more adaptable as a result. So, basically, if people do the things that you hear about in turn, health in terms of eating a variety of different food having a minimal amount of physical activity having social support? If they look at it from the standpoint of physical, mental, social, spiritual, well being, and do things and all four rounds, they will tend to have bodies that are far more results. Another example: if you look at the healthy habits studies, if you have women over their lives, will walk twenty thirty minutes a day. Ether vegetables, not smoke, not drink, that much keep their body mass index below twenty five another one

not get rather big. The average female. Who does that, if you could call them over a lifetime's, will have an expected increase in life span of fourteen point four years versus the. In other words, if you look at lunch every if you look at preventing alzheimer's disease, even if you look at preventing cancer, A very, very large part of it is a particular lifestyle that just makes us more resilient and restores us more effectively. This isn't rocket science, this stuff, that most of us do what they can do, but they don't necessarily do it now, because people have jobs, because people have families because people have obligations, but if he even started think this way people get healthier and

Don't even believe this, but there is a matter of just intention. There was a study that was done in boston, were they looked at hotel maids, most of whom were latinos, and they said to one group: ok what you're doing is really fine, it's really healthy keep at it may said to the other group what you're doing is really fine, really healthy, keep at it but are also fulfilling the surgeon generals, recommendations on healthy physical activity in that second group, a year later, had lower cholesterol. Lower blood pressure seemed to be in a healthier state than the first group now they're, basically the same folks they're doing the same job, but one group is told that what you're doing is healthier than the other group is told. What's the end result, they end up healthier, why in part, probably because they were told that

it's good for you and they did more of it instead of this being a you know, the imposition of hard labor which, for many it is the idea that this is actually healthy. For me, this will give my body a better chance to feel good and have no less heart disease, for example, they did more. That seems to be one our ideologies changes. If we believe certain things, it changes what we do and when we change what we do it changes but we are what we become and what we do is what we become. I mean if you look at what and to human organism what it does have a profound effect everywhere. And clearly rest is one of those things that has a profound positive effect die Matthew Edmund, has been my guest. He directs the centre for circadian medicine he's an internationally recognised expert unrest, sleep and biological clocks. His book is key. The power of rest waste

ip alone is not enough, you'll find a link to his book in the show notes, and there is also a link to his website, which is regeneration, health news, dot com, theirs. Too bad in the show notes as well. Thanks doktor, my pleasure, One of my favorite overall topics that we occasionally discuss, I'm is podcast, is the topic of fascinating some might call them trivial or unusual, but trysting facts and stories that are almost too strange to believe, and there is no one better at gathering these stories than dan Louis Dan has offered a couple of books, one is called now. I know the others called now. I know more in his latest is called now. I know the sofa invaded wisconsin and ninety nine, more interesting facts, plus the amazing stories behind them a dan welcome. I thank you.

so before we get into when and why and how the soviets invaded wisconsin. How did you get interested in this. How did you decide that gathering these kind of unusual stories were so interesting? I've these were the person who wants a fun story at the ready. So precarious, I love to read. I love to learn new things. Even if they're my new maybe even specifically, if it's my nature, I want to have a boy other worry about any topic Clearly you do so start with when the soviets invaded wisconsin, because I don't think a lot of people are aware that the soviets invaded wisconsin. So too that story after world war to the united states,

if the soviet union were locked in a the cold war or the threat of nuclear war made both sides very afraid of one another, and the communist threat in the united states was something that loomed over everything day to day life went by as normal, but on may first nineteen fifty something changed in a town over. I think it's called parents of Mawson. He was content where all of a sudden, the whole town seem to be taken over by communist, so at six, a m five armed men raised deleted the house of the mare they brought into prison. The were felt they were self described, the agents of something called the united soviet states of america. They said they were taken over the town. They did and the police department, some others, join them and they overtook the local newspaper. They brought none out of a local catholic school and brought them to stocky.

and they even arrested the executive that local paper mill was employed. Most of the town, it was a sudden and, seemingly violent takeover of the town, and then that made it ended and ended totally peacefully because it was a stunt, the american region, which was made mostly of war veterans, was trying to make a point, which is that if the timing of the start, was real and it was dramatic, and it was something that every citizen should be aware of, but the whole point was to get attention. They were looking to tell a story about what would happen. communist rule. If america were to allow it to happen, this done worse prefix. I forgot the attention of newspapers across the country light magazine had a photo journalist. they cover the extraordinary detail and for one day the people of this town in wisconsin really thought they were living under communist rule.

we want to play along, unfortunately, the mayor. Let a rally at the end of the day to celebrate the freedom that they had not actually lost and he suffered at the rebel hemorrhage during it he ended up losing consciousness and he passed away five. later. I I don't think I ever heard that story before and yet I googled it and indeed it didn't true, as you say, but I don't think most people know that, about carrots. and most of us think of carrots as orange carrots, but but there's more to the story than that, if you were looking awhile carrots you'd find that came in a rainbow colors, there are white one the real one and everyone. There was an orange one, but that was not the typical one. What happened was the dutch characterwith sought orange carrots and, in the netherlands orange is a color of pride.

And they said, hey, we want to cultivate ease and we want to grow these and make them something that people at least locally. I don't think they had aspirations to grow them for people around the world, but at least locally the seventeenth century, dutch farmers said hey we're going to cultivate these carrots because they are orange and that's pretty cool as it turned out those we pay better. They have different set of vitamin that you're not gonna, find another carrots, so kind of one out in the marketplace. You know all of a sudden. The orange carrots were popular, not because it was a a point of national pride, but because they just happen to be better food and you can still find purple carrots and the yellow carrots and white carriage if you go to the red cross, restoring you really look flat but by We took care of oil and the probable ones. How come onto the wayside. So talk:

because I know you investigated this story about why tennis is scored the way it is love, fifteen in thirty and so forth, how come you're playing tennis? Basically, it's a game to four point: three, a risk worth four points. First, when, but we don't say one two, three four, we say you start at love, not zero, which is in and of itself odd. And then you go to fifteen points. If you score, if you win the first point, and then you go to thirty so now, accounting by increments of fifteen, but instead of going to forty five, we stop at four and then, if there is a forty forty pie, you have to win by You, sir, we drop numbers altogether and say no no make if you and I were playing, and you got a point to be makes advantage. If I don't want to be there the damage and afford hide. We don't say pie, we say deuce. There are two different reasons. Why would you different parts? The first one

and I apologize. I dont speak french, so I'm going to not to a great job pronouncing this word, but the word egg in french is little. If you are looking at the number is zero, you could reasonably safe ok, you have an egg in baseball and I'm a big baseball fan. We often say that if it, The other team minutes corny any they put up with eggs. If a cricket, they say ducks eggs, but in tat ass, I guess in france back in the day, they would say that you used off egg or zero zero or if your winning a year, you have fifteen point, but your opponent had zero egg. An earth sounds like english. Would, love or close enough to it were over time it just kind of merged.

to an english word and became love. So the word love is just a natural progression of english speaking people miss hearing french speaking people say what say the word egg in their own native language, as for the fifteen, thirty, etc, most likely the way that early This is were scored. This war is displayed on a cock face and we divide clock faces in in quarters. We do so in in of fifteen. So if you score that first point we move the clock face a quarter of the way clockwise threats to the fifteen, but he's going to. Second, when you get the thirty and that got the fifteen point increments in the sport. But then something went wrong because at some point or another someone realized, you know what we want the winning person to be able to win by too. But

Generally forty five to sixty or complete copies that doesn't divide evenly you end up with fifty two and a half There is no great way that show fifty two and a half a clock face, so somebody one sure who most likely said you know what figure out a way to make it and even increment? So, instead of one for thirty to forty five, you over thirty to forty that easy for you to show someone's advantage by moving from forty to fifty. If somebody has scored that point, when you are otherwise hide so what's the story behind the match tag, those ugly huge tags on pillows and mattresses and why do we have them? And why is it against the law? To? them off. So this What version is that you have no idea. What's in your mattress, except for what you're told I sleep on probably springs and coils, and all that other stuff, some people sleep on

Ah, you know memory, foam or foam or some space age stuff who knows, but the only way to actually check is to cut a hole in your mattress and look and if you're gonna, do that you're ruining your mattress. That's a bad idea, three or so ago, before we happen, consumer protection laws, mattress may factors took advantage of this and they stuff, the mattress, would literally anything they could find courthouse. We're very popular old rat. Especially oil ones were popular, basically a mattress with a great place to hide your garbage and then sell it to somebody else. So in order to protect consumers all the way down the governor is that you have a mattress tiger, said what inside the map, the mattress one in this story, I found it was really interesting was about phone number, and that phone numbers, although they might have eventually been invented anyway originally were invented as a result of the measles. phones where new it did

have the modern infrastructure we have today, somebody had Actually, that's you to the other. and you are calling- and that was a dog, that job required that you have some understanding of whose in town and how do and then what wire connects the what poured in order for in one house speak to present another house that didn't require phone numbers such as required switchboard operator who new who the customers in the area where, unfortunately, when it come people doing jobs like that. They need to be healthy and when A measles epidemic swept law massachusetts they realize they had a problem with which operators were getting sick and no one was able to connect. The call so a doctor, his name was greeley really parker. He came up with a solution to solution was very simple: the,

the company would assign a unique I'd, be number two of their customers I'm only talking to your customers and on the switchboard, you'd see that identification number wait, so anybody without any training could connect the call, because it's because, instead of connecting to a specific person you're connecting to the number that the caller knows and has provided so instead of saying, hey, connect me to mister or misses such and such you say. Oh me, a number one: three: five and a switchboard operators. That's great here's one five plugs in the right wire and your cause good to go. Amazingly, a lot of people were upset by this. They were horrified that their identity could be boiled down to a unique identification number. So there was this crazy backlash to having a phone number where people said. No, I dont want to be with a quote. I have here says many: customers expressed

would sooner give up their phones entirely by the then submit themselves to the dehumanizing in the indignity of being identified by a by number, but stuck stock anyway because ago, pragmatically there another option. So I like the story about the green bay packers fan, who basically gave blood, sold his blood to buy season tickets, to see the green bay packers and in what happened as a result, there's we may bay. Packer name is Jim backer. If you don't know that sports fan. If you're, not them, the packers aren't trusting about him to begin with, because they are. By their town and we may wisconsin- is very much all about the packers. So MR backer was one set rather than he wanted to go, many games as possible. But you know about it

costs money and he ended up selling his blood. He will get his blood drawn think over the course of a decade more than a hundred times he had a he told a hundred and forty five point of blood to pay for them season tickets over the course of his fan career that weird enough, but it turns out that doing so. Probably saved his life Becker. Had a genetic disorders disorder were his body retains the with iron in the bud, trim and left untreated its fatal, his father passed away when when he was younger, I think around in his forties and his grandfather, it seems was also in a similar position. His blood disorder needed to be treated. Otherwise he was likely to suffer the same fate as it turns out the way you treat this disorder is through bloodletting, basically by donating blood. He wasn't aware of the problem when he decided that this was a great weighted by packard get, but by donating

but by rather selling his blood to buy the season tickets. He also ended up treating his disease that he didn't, even though he had so talk about abraham lincoln in the founding of the secret service. I think that's a really interesting story. you know, Abraham lincoln was assassinated on April fifteenth eighteen, sixty five at ford theatre in washington dc downwards booth shot him. While he was watching apply gaps, he shot him on April fourteen and he then lincoln died diet. The next day today, the the is protected by the secret service and we think of the secret service service focused on protecting the president, the first family and former presidents as well, but that's actually not their role. We think that if, if, if the secret service had existed, when Abraham lincoln was shot, he wouldn't have died that day he would

Without his time and the rest of his life, but as it turned out, is not quite true because on the morning of April, fourteenth eighteen, sixty five abraham, lincoln sign executive order, which created what is now the secret service to the secret service actually founded on the day lincoln, was shot. He wasn't trying to protect himself that the secret services, My job is to stop counterfeiting together with easy police department, if he will of the department of the treasury and at a time with the civil war having just ended, there was a lot of big money flowing. United states and lincoln decided that the problem of it We needed a police force in order to stop this. So his point in forming the secret service was to stop counterfeiting, and they still do that today, but over time, the agency that he created The data he was shot would end up protecting future president from a similar fate.

great and there's seemingly an endless supply of these stories, because you ve got your several books and there's also a daily a free, daily news letter that Dan sends out with more of these stories. If europe Instead, you can sign up for his news letter at Oh, I know dot com and there's a linked to that. Also in the show notes and there's also a linked to his latest book now I know the soviets invaded wisconsin and ninety nine more interesting facts, plus the amazing stories behind them, for being here dan appreciate. Thank you very much have you ever looked at selfie of yourself and thought wait a minute.
