Jack was going over a sleep study and realized he hasn't slept properly in decades. Apparently, getting the right amount of sleep can make you feel 3 months younger? Who has that gauge?

So I was reading more about this sleep study is
speaking of health and how you actually feel older when
you don't get enough sleep by quite a few years.
And they did a big study of people between the
ages of eighteen and seventy, actually breaking it down by
different age groups, asking you how old they felt after
two days with nine hours of sleep.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
God, two days of nine hours of sleep.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I haven't had two days with nine hours of sleep
in a row in.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Maybe forty years. I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And compared with two days with only four hours of
sleep per night, now I've done that one hundred times
in the last time. How many years? But you feel
multiple years older as opposed to the people felt three
months younger after a good night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I don't. I don't have a dial that's that accurate.
I can't.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I definitely feel multiple years older after I don't get
enough sleep. I couldn't tell you I feel three months
younger when I get a good night's sleep. Though my
calibration is isn't that perfect? I feel like I feel
like I did back in December.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yet that hell the hell is that I feel three
months younger. I haven't felt this good since last October eight.
But what how do you I do.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You don't actually know what you're gonna feel like in
five years, so the idea that we have a perception
of I feel five years older is kind of interesting.
This sounds like the sort of quibbling I would do,
But you made an excellent point there.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
How do you know? I don't feel like I'm eighty
nose right?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
But that's the first thing I thought yesterday, after several
days in a row of not getting enough sleep, as
I was coming into work walking from the car, I thought, jeez,
I feel like I'm seventy five years old, and I
don't actually even know what that means.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
But I wonder if we intuitively kind of do I
don't know. Wow, another interesting idea.
