this is just a sample of it.
It's got 700 tiny little mattresses
that make up the entire mattress.
And I wanna make a point here, Brad.
Some people think these wear out after awhile.
Well, how long have we had our mattresses?
- Over a year.
Well, these are memory foam backed up by spring,
so it's a doubly duty it's--
- Yeah, I haven't seen any wear on mine at all yet.
I mean, there's no hole or anything like that.

- Sleep, seven, I like the number seven, Bob.
It's complete, so I'm glad--
- I figured that,
I was doing, I was honoring you, okay?
Can I take this outta the way?
- Yeah, I'd get rid of it.
- Does this throw us off?
- [Brad] Oh, yeah. - It's all dark.
How 'bout like that?
Is that still dark?
- [Woman] Yeah.
- Aw, get rid of it.
(Brad grunts)
A little housekeeping here, while we're--
- [Brad] I got it, Bob.
Go back to them,
to our viewers. - All right. (claps)
So sleep is extremely important.
And it really affects your short-term memory
and long-term health.
So the amount varies that people need from person to person.
But most people need eight hours.
- Yeah, that's probably a good average it.
Probably a little more when you're younger,
a little more when you're older.
- That's right.
Right, well, sometimes you need less when you're older
because you don't do anything.
(Brad laughs) That's all, that's all.
So we're gonna go over seven signs
that you might not be getting enough sleep,
and, you know, we've talked about this before,
where we all know these people
that think it's a badge of honor.
- Right.
- To not get enough sleep. - Right.
- And you know it's not doing anybody any good.
You're not doing yourself good,
you're doing the people around you any good.
- Right.
- So, you know, heed what we say.
- Right, yeah, that go to bed at one o'clock
and up at 5:30 to go to work and I feel good.
- Right, right.
- Three cups of coffee and I'm ready to go. (laughs)
- Yeah and this is why this can affect
the people around you.
Number one, you're unusually moody.
You got a shorter fuse.
One study showed that if you're low on sleep,
they struggle to,
people could act, they couldn't accurately read
people's facial expressions.
- Oh, really? - They gut it out.
- Yeah.
- So they think that the person
was more angry or they misread it
so they, you know, that caused interpersonal problems.
- Really? - Yeah!
- So, isn't that weird? - Where'd you find that study?
- Well, it was part of the whole article I've read so.
- Oh, okay, carry on then.
- So, number two, you get sick all the time.
This one fits completely in my life.
I'll tell you,
if I go like a couple nights without sleep,
I almost like immediately get sick.
- Two nights without any sleep, you do that?
- Well, no, not any sleep.
Without, you know, not enough sleep.
- Yeah, okay.
- You know, my immune system is really seems
to be pretty strong
until I don't get any sleep. - Yeah.
- And then, I mean, I can tell almost it's, you know.
So, you know, your immune system in everyday
is fighting off germs
- Sure, that's part, it's the job.
- Yup, and if you make it weaker,
the germs are gonna take over.
- Right, well they win then.
- Yeah, they win so.
- Carry on! Number two, no, three!
- Do you have problems with that, Brad, or not?
- No, I just get ornery.
- No, you're the ornery one, okay.
You get the munchies!
So there's a reason.
Studies have shown a lack of sleep lead to less leptin.
And this is the hormone that decreases appetite.
- Oh, I see.
- And more, I've never heard of this before,
ghrelin, G-H-R-E-L-I-N.
- Okay.
- And that is a hormone that increases your appetite,
so you actually get.
You know, you've been hearing people
get the munchies late at night sometimes.
- Sure. - When they're tired?
- Right.
- And they don't have the fortitude to hold it off either,
I think, when you're tired.
- Sure, yeah, I didn't realize there
was some hormones involved.
- Yeah, I didn't know that either!
- I thought that was just my mind.
And the advertisements on TV, right?
- Right, right, they probably don't help either.
Number four, this is kind of a weird way of saying it,
but you rely on cliches.
Which means is you don't have any deep thinking going on
because they found out like that'll,
lack of sleep is similar to drinking alcohol,
and if you really are lacking sleep
it's like, pretty much legally drunk actually.
So you have a lack of clearer thinking when you're tired.
- Sure.
- You know, it's gonna be,
you're gonna be saying things like,
"What goes around, comes around,"
"It is what it is,"
"Can't teach a dog new tricks," you know, it's old.
- Yeah. - Yeah!
- Or, you know, there's that Warren Zevon song?
- What's that?
- I'll sleep on it, you can sleep when you're dead.
- Oh, yeah, oh really?
- You know, it's like, you never heard that song?
- I think I heard the title.
I don't know if I ever heard it.
- Yeah, it's an interesting song.
He's an interesting, he was an interesting artist.
- Interesting dude, yeah. - Yeah.
- Number five, you can't seem to make a decision.
When you're low on sleep,
there's less flow, blood flow,
to the frontal cortex,
which is your critical thinking.
- Oh!
- So, you know, again, if you think that you're going
to, you know, pull an all nighter,
like, even you're in high school
or in college. - Yeah.
- I mean, you're gonna actually do worse on the test.
And it's funny I knew that even as a kid,
I'm like, "No, I've studied as much as I'm gonna study.
I'm done, I'm gonna get a good night's sleep.
Yama en, let the chips fall where they may."
- Right, exactly.
- That's kind of a cliche, I must be a little tired so.
- (laughs) Rough weekend, huh, Bob?
- Oh, it was actually.
Number six, you lose your libido, so men, hey!
Sleep deprivation can lead to low testosterone.
- No wonder my wife wants me to get plenty of sleep.
(laughs)
- Brad, this is a family show!
- (laughs) She won't see this one.
- She probably doesn't want you to,
she probably wants you to sleep and so she,
you leave her alone, right?
- Okay, that's enough, Bob.
- All right, we're going way too far here.
And number seven, this is kind of an interesting one,
your face is breaking out.
Acne is a normal reaction to sleep deprived
or if you're always stressed so.
- Oh really?
- So, I think I'm beyond that, hopefully.
- Yeah, yeah, I was kinda wondering
do they talk about, must be an age involvement in that.
- Yeah, yeah, I would guess
but I think, you know, your skin,
it's funny how sensitive it is to what you do in life.
- Oh, sure, right. - You know, so.
All right, those are the seven.
So our advice to you is to, you know, apportion your life,
so you get plenty of sleep.
You're gonna do much better,
you're gonna be more productive
and you're gonna--
- You said eight hours.
- Well, for most people,
yeah. - All right.
- I knew people that,
Steve Allen is a former host of the Tonight Show.
- Yeah. - First one.
- Yeah?
- He needed 12 hours of sleep at night.
- Oh, really? - Yup.
- And look how productive he was.
He was very-- - Sure.
- Prolific in writing jokes and stuff like that so.
(Brad laughs)
- What, what, prolific?
- Yeah, it was a good word, Bob.
- It's a word!
- Writing jokes from good sleep.
- What did you think I said?
- Let's carry on, Bob.
- All right, thanks for watching.
