sleep scientist Matthew Walker hopes that improved flow habits, which Can be during the pandemic, rest in our future lives. Could the company fit the forms of their work, for example, to help People to sleep better, he asks.

Our sleep seems to have changed during the pandemic.

There is some emerging data from some of the sleep tracking company, which suggests that the People are going to bed at different times, but also, in General, on average, Wake up a little later.

Now, for Some People overall, this means that you Can actually get More sleep. I think what we find is that, if we look at the data, there are probably at least two clouds of the results.

There are Some People , during the pandemic, the fight with sleep and was always less and it is More difficult - And Then others that are actually More and More .

But I think that what we really see in these data is that People start to get More sleep In Harmony with what we call your Chrono type. In other words, are you a night person are you a morning person or are you somewhere in between?

And it turns out, by The Way , that you don't really have a choice in this. It is genetically largely determined, so it is hard-wired. But what The Future means, or what it could mean for The Future in terms of sleep?

Good, perhaps When People return to work, what if we asked everyone to fill out a very short series of questions, and we asked them about their preferred time to sleep - if you want to, in order not to Wake up, When you go to bed?

companies Can then begin to try to accommodate - as much as you Can - the individual working time models. And in this way they allow the employees to start sleeping in a much More compatible with your biology, rather than In Conflict , which is what many of us seem to in this modern world.

the company is really designed to be the pitch and for the benefit of these morning types, but there is a large area, and as a result, we could employees better rested, better leader rested.

We know that you need More sleep equals More productivity. It is not true that less sleep means More productivity, it is The Opposite - and the People use less resources for Health care, if you sleep better. Could it be that many consequences.

probably There is a second implication is here, and it all depends on the immunity.

What we know is that it has a very Intimate Relationship between sleep and Health of your immune system - and an example of, I think, an impact on the coronavirus.

the researchers found out that if you aren't getting sufficient sleep in the week before your standard flu vaccination, they produce less than 50% of the normal antibody response, rendering the vaccination less effective.

So, what is an idea for The Future ?

Now, maybe we Can ask to begin, about People who sleep in your Covid vaccination.

we Can try to increase immunity, to increase the effectiveness of the vaccination, simply by timing, that the vaccination with The Moment , When People are well rested. When you slept the best?

I think an interesting idea could be, on the basis of the scientific data we already have

BBC Radio 4 , Radio 5 Live and the World Service coming together for a unique collaboration: the BBC Reconsider. It asks how to change society and our lives for the better, after the Covid-19 crisis.
