- [70| Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams | Book Review](https://www.thesocialchameleon.show/why-we-sleep/): Dr. Walker has made abundantly clear that sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when it is absent. Compared to the other basic drives in life-eating, drinking, and reproducing-the purpose of sleep remains more elusive. Within the brain, sleep enriches a diversity of functions, including our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge, inspiring creativity. In this "compelling and utterly convincing" (The Sunday Times) book, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker provides a revolutionary exploration of sleep, examining how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental well-being. Charting the most cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and marshaling his decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels, regulate hormones, prevent cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes, slow the effects of aging, and increase longevity. He also provides actionable steps towards getting a better night's sleep every night.

I want to talk about, we want to talk about the motivation is an illusion. I know this just sounds weird. I know, I know, I know I came up with a little analogy maybe to help everybody get on the same thought process track. So I was thinking about this as like a, like a car engine or like a motor. So you have, you have torque and you have horsepower. So so torque is what gets you going. So that's to me like that's the motivation and then you have horsepower. Horsepower is what keeps you going once you're in motion. And to me that's the part you need and that's the, that's the purpose or the goal or the ambition or the vision. So you know, Torque is the motivation that gets you going. Horsepower is the other thing that keeps you going. Then you know, when the Torque dies off or the motivation dies down, the horsepower is what keeps your car in motion. What keeps you in motion? And keeps you going. That's analogy. I kind of came up with help think about this a little and kind of visualize it a little bit.
