this is how you will sucess.... sleep? is for fools... women will sleep to the top? yea its in their head... we will find rich guy, sleep and do nothing....
I agree that "we can sleep our way to increased productivity and happiness -- and smarter decision-making." Great inspiring video and if people actually process what the speaker is saying, there is truth and real points to this subject!
I agree that sleep is important but the way she expresses it is silly. How are the Lehman Brother's lack of sleep related to their collapse?! How does it let leaders be unable to see the iceberg before the titanic hits it?! Even if there is such a relation, she has failed to present it.
So, the talk claims to be about sleep, but then it's about bashing men (1:43). This whole TEDxWomen thing involves a lot of misandry. As we all know, women can do anything men an do, OR BETTER, right? At least that's the sexist claim. So of course, women even sleep better than men, and well-rested women could have prevented the bank crisis. And climate change. You name it.

Also,why are women less capable at working in a group? Both sexes have their benefits and drawbacks,your statements is nuts-wiki matriarchical societies

@infinitex2 No,anyone message that gets played so much in the MSM has an ulterior motive. Especially given the messenger in this case, the wife of Trump who cheating hundreds of bloggers.
This message is all about selling drugs-like ambien. How old are you? Once you get through college,you realize that there is a lot of lies about sleep that aren't confirmed by you exeperience and those around you. As usual common sense rules,not this rigid 8 hours BS

@kaey69 Huffington is a malicious business woman interested in creating fear,discord, and selling products to "fix" these fictitious problems. She was married to Trump, and is a "faux" liberal for the uninformed masses of working and middle class people who don't have the time to see past the lies if they would easily see if they had an extra 4 hours tacked onto the 24 hour clock.
Lol anyone see the film "They Live"? One of the repeated messages is "Sleep 8 Hours" when he puts on the glasses that let him see beyond the MSM lies(in the films case the plot is enhanced by aliens creating the lies)
But reality= stranger than fiction. Im quite sure at this point,finding out how untrue this 8 hours of sleep myth/repeative message is all about selling drugs for sleep. All"advice" that gets so much repetition is dubious. A site that lists the top repeated lies would be helpful
i love how its all speculation that women are better at seeing the big picture etc. no evidence or scientific studies to support her claims. she just generalizes and believes women are better at everything. HOW THE FUCK DOES TED PICK ITS SPEAKERS!
@kaey69 It's not women.It's feminine energy. Both genders have both feminine and masculine energy. Feminine energy allows you to be creative and intuitive and nourish and protect. Masculine energy allows you to push forward and get things done. If you're a female leader you have more masculine energy than most women.Likewise, if you're an intuitive guy you have more feminine energy than most women. In reality, each gender tends to have more of the one that represents the most. That's it.
@giannhsp222 Probably. I sound very un-P.C., but I think feminism as it is today is sort of silly. Only because I think balance is best. We live in a male-dominated society, to be sure, but swinging wilsly in the opposite direction helps no one. Mind you, I don't really care. I'm just sorry that anyone has to suffer for any reason. Genetalia seems like a particularly silly reason to suffer. I wish the whole thing was a non-isue.
Sleeping, on the other hand, is important no matter your genetalia
@bobbygnosis Feminism is about genitalia, true. But more precisely, it's about hormones. Testosterone. Testosterone is the reason for most of the problems in the world. And yes, I realize that women have levels of testosterone. And yes, I am a feminist. ;)
Also, most feminists are anything but "wishy washy."
@karamid I dislike admitting that I know that I sound very contrarian by implying that I formally dislike feminism. Really, I don't. I hope it didn't come across too negative. Mostly I just think that any focus on such things as means of dividing us further are non-conducive to making the world a better place.
That said, I recognize fully that there are very real physiological differences between male and female brain structure. Two variations on a theme. We are one.
@karamid P.S. I think you misread a typo I made. I didn't spell-check. I meant to type "wildly" and instead wrote "wilsly". The S key is next to the S key. I'm a 'moran' and need to learn to type / spell. I was not calling feminists wishy-washy.
I was only referring to binary-opposite thinking as it moves toward more extremist positions. An example would be Andrea Dworkin. As they say, "People are are hurting tend to hurt others."
Mostly I'm just sad that society has reached this point.
@cholmo87 Have a week's worth of good, unbroken sleep - going to sleep fairly early and rising early - and then see how unsubstantiated you find this advice. I know she has a sexist bent in her presentation, but it's still good advice.
For all you haters, although the message is obvious, it's been lost on a lot of people. This isn't supposed to break new ground, you fucktards, it's to remind people that sleep shouldn't be viewed as a terrible waste of time. It's not. Adequate sleep is paramount to a productive happy person. Try looking past the terrible jokes and superficial argument. There's some real point to this.
@infinitex2 Way to go sherlock.. I think anyone who is sleep deprived.. like me I have slept 2 hours and i have an exam in another 2, would be dying to go back to bed and sleep like a bear but the reason I disliked the video was because I don't think this qualifies as a TED talk. We aren't fucktards for disagreeing, The way I see it you are a close minded fucktard for calling humans that..
Having time on your hands is something the minions of the mass murdering Debt Syndicate wish to prevent at all costs. Time to think, means time enough to figure out how criminally insane the BANKERS are.
Sleep is definitely a good thing, but Arianna Huffington’s fans need to wake up to the fact that the controversial website editor censors her opponents. When I recently used The Huffington Post’s own figures to create my “Joe Averageguy” analogy, which argues that global temperatures have leveled off at best since 1998, The Huffington Post deleted my forum comments and removed my profile, Xarkonul. You can find more information at my YouTube channel (Xarkonul).
Hate to be a critic... but was the "profound" message of this talk that sleeping more increases productivity?
A 12 year old could have given this talk, and I'm not exaggerating. She didn't bother to go into any detail about studies that have been done, how much sleep correlates to how much productivity, etc. Next she should see if she can convince a room full of people that "exercise is good for your health." Or maybe she could be an advocate for drinking water...
@instereovideos Very perceptive, a lot of people get lost in flowery language or they get lost in the subject and they ignore what is actually being said.
I'm not a liberal, my husband is not gay, I don't have a foreign accent, but I agree with her.
You brain actually learns when it's sleeping. And when you are trying to "produce" by not sleeping, you sacrifice your health and especially your brain power to the "productivity".
If you want to be productive in the long run, sleep and stay healthy. No amount of money, no position, nobody is more important to you than your own health and yourself.
I was looking for a good reason to sleep longer. She didn't provide that. No study or anything. I almost fell asleep watching it, and I just slept 12 hours.
Well obviously we should get as much sleep as we need but unfortunately sleep routines nowadays tend to adapt around work patterns, not the other way around. It's just common sense. I don't see what feminism has to do with this. I guess the all female audience are just being idiots letting this ridiculous girl power stuff go to their heads. They're as excitable the Bill Maher audience.
By the way if you hear anyone say they'll cope without sleep by doing something else, just laugh at them.
Seems like she has a valuable point about how important sleep is, but her presentation is nothing but her putting down less than 8 hours sleep. There's no evidence of this working or how effective it can be to get more sleep... HELL ~ this doesn't relate to me one bit!
Sounds like the kind of speech somebody who's selling sleeping tablets would give, not a TEDtalk at all.
While I'll admit a sexist / sleep relation seems to come across, I think that's just a side effect of this being TEDWomen. She's just addressing her audience is all, I don't think it's sexist nor is a relationship between gender and sleep an intended implication.
This didn't give me anything, i could be sleeping right now, instead of watching this crap. My 4yr old cousin knows you have to sleep for atleast 8hours a night.
Sleeping well is the best way to facilitate efficient and effective work without resorting to self-destructive drug abuse (coffee, etc.). Sleep deprivation may be popular for its obvious benefits, but it is not the only way to be productive, and it is certainly not the best.
On these points Huffington makes quite a lot of sense, but I will never understand the feminist chest-thumping. What? Women will band together to sleep well, men won't, and women will rule the world? Sexist idiocy.
@Trigunflame Perhaps I should do a TED presentation in the future. How about "Why you should take a bath every day" as the first part in a series of talks concerning "Common Fucking Sense for the Modern Day Hobo".
At least, she tells her opinion or experience, respectively and this in a humorous way.
Don't excoriate her as person, just because this is not your opinion. I think, she hit a sore spot of many of us ... it is not the amount of your activity, you will be judged , but by the quality of the outcome.
The students, who are successfull are those, who studied the days before and had enough sleep before the exam.
The students, who bring trouble to us all (at least when they will be in their job, sometime in the future), are those, who were 'strong' and learned just the night befor their exam, just to pass it ...
I think, this speech is exactly adressed to you ;-)
@Eibel1966 "The students, who are successfull are those, who studied the days before and had enough sleep before the exam."
Wrong. Firstly, sleep before the exam yields a negligible improvement in performance. Secondly, it's physically impossible, usually, to study all the material days before the exam. Even if you spend every waking moment studying, you still can't do it.
@roidroid i have a sneaking suspicion you are probably right, nevertheless, the point is that the man who thought up the proceedure for constructing the atomic bomb (Leo Slizard) and who actually wrote the letter to Roosevelt which Einstein merely signed, got the idea while sitting in the bath tub. Also, the "beautiful mind" guy (John Nash) got his best ideas while lying on a table in the Princeton library (by the way, he only heard voices, he didn't see things). so ideas and rest ARE connected
@roidroid ...possibly, but my understanding was that the voice he heard which gave him the inspired ideas for mathematics "sounded" the same as the voice which gave him all his paranoid political beliefs. He felt that since he had listened to the first voice and taken it seriously, then there was no logical reason not to listen to the second voice, because, at that point in time, his mathematical ideas were also considered "crazy", until he was able to put them down on paper in their final form.
I mean, I agree that sleep is important and we ought to slow down a little, but still, this isn't a TEDTalk. If she was a sleep researcher with interesting data and studies and anecdotes, I could see this. But as it was, it really wasn't TED quality.
how is this a feminist issue? I was expecting to see something like a video teaching us how sleep really affects us or how much more productive we could be... not a series of lame sexist jokes agaisnt men
I particularly agree with that. Some parts are true but others are incoherent because of the controversial anti men jokes. Some parts of her speech are a bit against men.
However, I disagree with myself. Cos, she said that people have to sleep a long time. we would suggest that what is important is quality of sleep, not the quantity.
Look up the kick in the nuts sports science video for a really educational video.
first sleep, then feminism, then leadership, and the some "scientific"-stuff...ehrm, what are you trying to say? go talk to some scinece-guy which studied chronology... then come back! Thanks!
@TED: sometimes i think your posting whatever you can, even if its BS... sorry..

I was looking for a good reason to sleep longer. She didn't provide that. No study or anything. I almost fell asleep watching it, and I just slept 12 hours.

Jidster01 1 year ago
Well obviously we should get as much sleep as we need but unfortunately sleep routines nowadays tend to adapt around work patterns, not the other way around. It's just common sense. I don't see what feminism has to do with this. I guess the all female audience are just being idiots letting this ridiculous girl power stuff go to their heads. They're as excitable the Bill Maher audience.
By the way if you hear anyone say they'll cope without sleep by doing something else, just laugh at them.

benXCon 1 year ago
Seems like she has a valuable point about how important sleep is, but her presentation is nothing but her putting down less than 8 hours sleep. There's no evidence of this working or how effective it can be to get more sleep... HELL ~ this doesn't relate to me one bit!
Sounds like the kind of speech somebody who's selling sleeping tablets would give, not a TEDtalk at all.

While I'll admit a sexist / sleep relation seems to come across, I think that's just a side effect of this being TEDWomen. She's just addressing her audience is all, I don't think it's sexist nor is a relationship between gender and sleep an intended implication.

Sleeping well is the best way to facilitate efficient and effective work without resorting to self-destructive drug abuse (coffee, etc.). Sleep deprivation may be popular for its obvious benefits, but it is not the only way to be productive, and it is certainly not the best.
On these points Huffington makes quite a lot of sense, but I will never understand the feminist chest-thumping. What? Women will band together to sleep well, men won't, and women will rule the world? Sexist idiocy.

@Trigunflame Perhaps I should do a TED presentation in the future. How about "Why you should take a bath every day" as the first part in a series of talks concerning "Common Fucking Sense for the Modern Day Hobo".

At least, she tells her opinion or experience, respectively and this in a humorous way.
Don't excoriate her as person, just because this is not your opinion. I think, she hit a sore spot of many of us ... it is not the amount of your activity, you will be judged , but by the quality of the outcome.
Eibel1966 1 year ago
In response to her criticism of men...
At least we don't feel a relentless need to constantly pat ourselves on the back.
When masculine and feminine energies are in balance with each other...
Tact, wisdom and harmony flow freely.
Feminist views are obviously hypocritical and self-destructive; but the masculine counterparts of such are no better.
Lets do our best to eliminate bias and become more worldly of the bigger picture.

@tinosnit
The students, who are successfull are those, who studied the days before and had enough sleep before the exam.
The students, who bring trouble to us all (at least when they will be in their job, sometime in the future), are those, who were 'strong' and learned just the night befor their exam, just to pass it ...
I think, this speech is exactly adressed to you ;-)
Eibel1966 1 year ago
@Eibel1966 "The students, who are successfull are those, who studied the days before and had enough sleep before the exam."
Wrong. Firstly, sleep before the exam yields a negligible improvement in performance. Secondly, it's physically impossible, usually, to study all the material days before the exam. Even if you spend every waking moment studying, you still can't do it.

roidroid 1 year ago
@roidroid i have a sneaking suspicion you are probably right, nevertheless, the point is that the man who thought up the proceedure for constructing the atomic bomb (Leo Slizard) and who actually wrote the letter to Roosevelt which Einstein merely signed, got the idea while sitting in the bath tub. Also, the "beautiful mind" guy (John Nash) got his best ideas while lying on a table in the Princeton library (by the way, he only heard voices, he didn't see things). so ideas and rest ARE connected
drorbenami 1 year ago
@drorbenami I wonder what John Nash would have been like if he got as much sleep as he needed. Might have been less paranoid
roidroid 1 year ago
@roidroid ...possibly, but my understanding was that the voice he heard which gave him the inspired ideas for mathematics "sounded" the same as the voice which gave him all his paranoid political beliefs. He felt that since he had listened to the first voice and taken it seriously, then there was no logical reason not to listen to the second voice, because, at that point in time, his mathematical ideas were also considered "crazy", until he was able to put them down on paper in their final form.
drorbenami 1 year ago
I mean, I agree that sleep is important and we ought to slow down a little, but still, this isn't a TEDTalk. If she was a sleep researcher with interesting data and studies and anecdotes, I could see this. But as it was, it really wasn't TED quality.

I agree with her, sleep is under estimated.
But I fail to see it as a gender issue. I think she's just a crowd pleaser in that sense.
ratje67 1 year ago
I particularly agree with that. Some parts are true but others are incoherent because of the controversial anti men jokes. Some parts of her speech are a bit against men.
However, I disagree with myself. Cos, she said that people have to sleep a long time. we would suggest that what is important is quality of sleep, not the quantity.
Look up the kick in the nuts sports science video for a really educational video.
