i’m here today as you all know to speak about the five
about the five
about the five is I believe effect general human
is I believe effect general human
is I believe effect general human well-being now what is well-being what
well-being now what is well-being what
well-being now what is well-being what is human well-being it’s a combination
is human well-being it’s a combination
is human well-being it’s a combination of both both objective and subjective
of both both objective and subjective
of both both objective and subjective factors the objective factors being your
factors the objective factors being your
factors the objective factors being your mental and physical meant mental and
mental and physical meant mental and
mental and physical meant mental and physical health among other factors so
physical health among other factors so
physical health among other factors so let’s jump straight into the five
let’s jump straight into the five
let’s jump straight into the five factors factor number one sleep sleep is
factors factor number one sleep sleep is
factors factor number one sleep sleep is very important to the state of our
very important to the state of our
very important to the state of our well-being because it does empirical
well-being because it does empirical
well-being because it does empirical evidence just that suggests that sleep
evidence just that suggests that sleep
evidence just that suggests that sleep can affect our cognition and our
can affect our cognition and our
can affect our cognition and our decision-making which in turn can affect
decision-making which in turn can affect
decision-making which in turn can affect our general well-being and the
our general well-being and the
our general well-being and the well-being of the people around us in
well-being of the people around us in
well-being of the people around us in one such study there were three groups
one such study there were three groups
one such study there were three groups of participants the first group were
of participants the first group were
of participants the first group were allowed only four hours of sleep a day
allowed only four hours of sleep a day
allowed only four hours of sleep a day the second group six hours of sleep a
the second group six hours of sleep a
the second group six hours of sleep a day and the third group eight hours of
day and the third group eight hours of
day and the third group eight hours of sleep a day on checking back to these
sleep a day on checking back to these
sleep a day on checking back to these participants after two weeks of the
participants after two weeks of the
participants after two weeks of the allocated sleeping times it was founded
allocated sleeping times it was founded
allocated sleeping times it was founded the group with four hours and six hours
the group with four hours and six hours
the group with four hours and six hours of sleep suffered maximum a huge number
of sleep suffered maximum a huge number
of sleep suffered maximum a huge number of attention lapses a decrease in
of attention lapses a decrease in
of attention lapses a decrease in cognitive brain function and generally
cognitive brain function and generally
cognitive brain function and generally an increase in cognitive issues they had
an increase in cognitive issues they had
an increase in cognitive issues they had problems concentrating and their
problems concentrating and their
problems concentrating and their reaction time was similar to a person
reaction time was similar to a person
reaction time was similar to a person with a blood alcohol concentration of
with a blood alcohol concentration of
with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.1 percent this in America is
0.1 percent this in America is
0.1 percent this in America is considered drunk so what can we do to
considered drunk so what can we do to
considered drunk so what can we do to increase the quality of our sleep before
increase the quality of our sleep before
increase the quality of our sleep before I get to this of course I must mention
I get to this of course I must mention
I get to this of course I must mention the eight hours the group that had eight
the eight hours the group that had eight
the eight hours the group that had eight hours of sleep the group that had eight
hours of sleep the group that had eight
hours of sleep the group that had eight hours of sleep had minimal attention
hours of sleep had minimal attention
hours of sleep had minimal attention lapses and the cognitive brain function
lapses and the cognitive brain function
lapses and the cognitive brain function appeared normal but something
appeared normal but something
appeared normal but something interesting that was found was that the
interesting that was found was that the
interesting that was found was that the group that had another group that had
group that had another group that had
group that had another group that had over nine hours of sleep that is too
over nine hours of sleep that is too
over nine hours of sleep that is too much sleep and a group that had too
much sleep and a group that had too
much sleep and a group that had too little sleep both suffered similar
little sleep both suffered similar
little sleep both suffered similar difficult

he’s similar difficulties
he’s similar difficulties physiologically similar difficulties in
physiologically similar difficulties in
physiologically similar difficulties in terms of the decision making it was
terms of the decision making it was
terms of the decision making it was found that people who slept too much or
found that people who slept too much or
found that people who slept too much or too little were more likely to be
too little were more likely to be
too little were more likely to be susceptible to an increase in risk of
susceptible to an increase in risk of
susceptible to an increase in risk of mortality by twelve percent and by
mortality by twelve percent and by
mortality by twelve percent and by thirty percent in other cases there were
thirty percent in other cases there were
thirty percent in other cases there were also more likely to suffer from cardiac
also more likely to suffer from cardiac
also more likely to suffer from cardiac arrest diabetes and generally worse
arrest diabetes and generally worse
arrest diabetes and generally worse decision making we increase the quality
decision making we increase the quality
decision making we increase the quality of all sleep in many ways one of them
