Motivational Monday TEDx of the Week
"Why sleep matters now more than ever."
Looking for a dose of inspiration to start your week? No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.
Today's talk is Why sleep matters now more than ever by Matt Walker, Sleep scientist, professor, and author.
A good night's sleep has perhaps never been more important. Sharing wisdom and debunking myths, sleep scientist Matt Walker discusses the impact of sleep on your min and body -- from unleashing your creative powers to boosting your memory and immune health -- and details practices you can start (and stop) doing tonight to get some rest. (This virtual conversation is part of the TED Connects series, hosted by head of TED Chris Anderson and current affairs curator Witney Pennington Rodgers. Recorded April 1, 2020)

- How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?
