And we were trying to use those brainwave recordings to differentially diagnose which type of dementia they had, such as vascular dementia, or Alzheimer’s dementia, or Parkinson’s. And for my PhD, I was studying brainwave patterns in people who had very early signs of dementia. So I shifted to neuroscience, brain science. So I think you actually may be a scientist rather than a doctor.” And, now, that was a time when we didn’t have sort of MD, PhD programs. But doctors perhaps are more interested in answers than they are questions. After a couple of years, one of the professors pulled me aside and said, “Look, you’re always asking questions, and you’re not doing that for the wrong reasons. I started off at medical school, which you can do at age 18 back in the United Kingdom. But I think, for me, perhaps like most people, I became an accidental sleep researcher. Matthew Walker: And they have to change that at some point. No one says sleep scientist.Ĭhris Kresser: Yeah, I can’t say I recall anyone saying that in my classroom. When you think about that classroom of young kids and they say, “What would you like to be when you grow up?” And hands are shooting up, astronauts, doctor. I don’t think anyone, when they’re growing up, wants to be a sleep researcher. Matthew Walker: Yeah, I think, I mean, it’s interesting. Can you tell us how you got interested in studying sleep in the first place?

I’ve really been looking forward to this. ![]() Walker, thank you so much for being here. I’m really looking forward to this conversation, and I hope you enjoy it.

He has published more than 100 scientific research studies and has been featured on numerous television and radio outlets, including 60 Minutes, Amanpour & Company, National Geographic, NOVA scienceNOW, The Joe Rogan Experience, NPR, The Peter Attia Drive, and the BBC. He has received numerous funding awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health and is a Kavli Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences. He’s also the founder and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. Previously, he was a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on the impact of sleep in human health and disease. Walker is an English scientist and professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California Berkeley, my alma mater. This week I’m really excited to welcome Dr. Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. And no, Joe Rogan does not make our list.Hey everybody, this is Chris Kresser.
