Arianna Huffington deler i denne korte tale en lille idé, der kan vække langt større idéer: Effekten af en god nats søvn. I stedet for at prale af søvnproblemer bør vi lukke øjnene og se det store billede: Vi kan sove os til øget produktivitet og lykke – og bedre beslutningskraft.

2000
Min store idé
00:17
is a very, very small idea
1
2000
2000
er en meget lille idé,
00:19
that can unlock
2
4000
2000
som kan åbne op for
00:21
billions of big ideas
3
6000
3000
milliarder af store idéer,
00:24
that are at the moment dormant inside us.
4
9000
3000
som i dette øjeblik ligger i dvale inden i os.
00:27
And my little idea that will do that
5
12000
2000
Og min lille idé til at gøre dette
00:29
is sleep.
6
14000
2000
er søvn.
00:31
(Laughter)

This is a room of type-A women.
9
22000
3000
Dette er et rum fuld af elitekvinder.
00:41
This is a room
10
26000
2000
Det er et rum fuld af
00:43
of sleep-deprived women.
11
28000
3000
kvinder med søvnmangel.
00:46
And I learned the hard way,
12
31000
2000
Og jeg lærte værdien af søvn
00:48
the value of sleep.
13
33000
2000
på den hårde måde.
00:50
Two-and-a-half years ago,
14
35000
2000
For to et halvt år siden
00:52
I fainted from exhaustion.
15
37000
2000
besvimede jeg af udmattelse.
00:54
I hit my head on my desk. I broke my cheekbone,
16
39000
3000
Jeg slog mit hoved på skrivebordet, brækkede mit kindben
00:57
I got five stitches on my right eye.
17
42000
3000
og fik fem sting ved mit højre øje.
01:00
And I began the journey
18
45000
2000
Og her startede min rejse ind i
01:02
of rediscovering the value of sleep.
19
47000
3000
genopdagelsen af søvnens værdier.
01:05
And in the course of that,
20
50000
2000
Og på min vej
01:07
I studied,
21
52000
2000
studerede jeg,
01:09
I met with medical doctors, scientists,
22
54000
2000
jeg mødtes med læger og videnskabsfolk,
01:11
and I'm here to tell you
23
56000
2000
og jeg er her for at fortælle jer,
01:13
that the way to a more productive,
24
58000
3000
at vejen til produktivitet,
01:16
more inspired, more joyful life
25
61000
2000
inspiration og et lykkeligere liv
01:18
is getting enough sleep.
26
63000
3000
er at få nok søvn.
01:21
(Applause)
27
66000
5000
(Bifald)
01:26
And we women are going to lead the way
28
71000
3000
Og vi kvinder må vise vejen
01:29
in this new revolution, this new feminist issue.
29
74000
3000
i denne nye revolution, et nyt feministisk emne.
01:33
We are literally going to sleep our way to the top, literally.
30
78000
3000
Vi skal bogstaveligt talt sove os til toppen.
01:36
(Laughter)
31
81000
2000
(Latter)
01:38
(Applause)
32
83000
5000
(Bifald)
01:43
Because unfortunately
33
88000
2000
Desværre
01:45
for men,
34
90000
2000
for mændene,
01:47
sleep deprivation has become a virility symbol.
35
92000
3000
er søvnmangel nemlig blevet et symbol på virilitet.
01:51
I was recently having dinner with a guy
36
96000
2000
Jeg spiste for nylig middag med en fyr,
01:53
who bragged that he had only gotten
37
98000
2000
der pralede af, at han kun havde fået
01:55
four hours sleep the night before.
38
100000
2000
fire timers søvn natten før.
01:57
And I felt like saying to him -- but I didn't say it --
39
102000
3000
Og selvom jeg ikke gjorde det, så havde jeg lyst til at sige til ham,
02:00
I felt like saying, "You know what?
40
105000
2000
"Ved du hvad?
02:02
If you had gotten five,
41
107000
2000
Hvis du havde fået fem,
02:04
this dinner would have been a lot more interesting."
42
109000
3000
så ville denne middag have været langt mere interessant."
02:07
(Laughter)
43
112000
3000
(Latter)
02:10
There is now a kind of sleep deprivation
44
115000
2000
Der er en slags konkurence
02:12
one-upmanship.
45
117000
2000
for søvnmangel.
02:14
Especially here in Washington, if you try to make a breakfast date,
46
119000
3000
Især her i Washington. Hvis du vil lave et morgenmadsmøde
02:17
and you say, "How about eight o'clock?"
47
122000
2000
og siger, "Hvad med klokken 8?"
02:19
they're likely to tell you, "Eight o'clock is too late for me,
48
124000
2000
Vil de sige, "Det er for sent,
02:21
but that's okay, I can get a game of tennis in
49
126000
2000
men okay, så kan jeg nå et spil tennis
02:23
and do a few conference calls and meet you at eight."
50
128000
3000
og et par conference calls og så møde dig kl. 8."
02:26
And they think that means
51
131000
2000
Og de tror, det betyder,
02:28
that they are so incredibly busy and productive,
52
133000
3000
at de er så utroligt travle og produktive,
02:31
but the truth is they're not,
53
136000
3000
men det er de i virkeligheden ikke,
02:34
because we, at the moment,
54
139000
2000
for vi har i øjeblikket
02:36
have had brilliant leaders
55
141000
2000
haft fantastiske ledere
02:38
in business, in finance, in politics,
56
143000
3000
i forretning, i finans, i politik,
02:41
making terrible decisions.
57
146000
3000
som har taget elendige beslutninger.
02:44
So a high I.Q.
58
149000
2000
Så en høj IQ
02:46
does not mean that you're a good leader,
59
151000
3000
betyder ikke, at du er en god leder,
02:49
because the essence of leadership
60
154000
2000
for essensen af lederskab
02:51
is being able to see the iceberg
61
156000
2000
er at være i stand til at se isbjerget,
02:53
before it hits the Titanic.
62
158000
3000
før det rammer Titanic.
02:56
And we've had far too many icebergs
63
161000
3000
Og vi har haft alt for mange isbjerge,
02:59
hitting our Titanics.
64
164000
2000
der har ramt vores Titanics.
03:01
In fact, I have a feeling
65
166000
2000
Jeg har faktisk på fornemmelsen,
03:03
that if Lehman Brothers
66
168000
2000
at hvis Lehman Brothers
03:05
was Lehman Brothers and Sisters,
67
170000
2000
havde været Lehman Brødre og Søstre,
03:07
they might still be around.
68
172000
2000
så ville de måske stadig være her i dag.
03:09
(Applause)
69
174000
3000
(Bifald)
03:12
While all the brothers were busy
70
177000
2000
Mens alle brødrene havde travlt
03:14
just being hyper-connected 24/7,
71
179000
3000
med at være på 24/7
03:17
maybe a sister would have noticed the iceberg,
72
182000
3000
ville en søster måske have lagt mærke til et isbjerg,
03:20
because she would have woken up from a seven-and-a-half- or eight-hour sleep
73
185000
4000
fordi hun ville være vågnet efter 7 1/2 eller 8 timers søvn
03:24
and have been able to see
74
189000
2000
og været i stand til at se
03:26
the big picture.
75
191000
2000
det store billede.
03:28
So as we are facing
76
193000
2000
Så nu, hvor vi står overfor
03:30
all the multiple crises
77
195000
2000
mange forskellige kriser
03:32
in our world at the moment,
78
197000
3000
i verden i øjeblikket,
03:35
what is good for us on a personal level,
79
200000
3000
vil det, der er godt for os personligt,
03:38
what's going to bring more joy, gratitude,
80
203000
3000
og skaber glæde og taknemlighed,
03:41
effectiveness in our lives
81
206000
2000
effektivitet i vore liv,
03:43
and be the best for our own careers
82
208000
3000
og være det bedste for vores karriere,
03:46
is also what is best for the world.
83
211000
3000
være det samme, som er bedst for hele verden.
03:49
So I urge you
84
214000
3000
Så jeg opfordrer jer til
03:52
to shut your eyes
85
217000
2000
at lukke øjnene
03:54
and discover the great ideas
86
219000
2000
og opdage de store idéer,
03:56
that lie inside us,
87
221000
2000
der ligger inden i os,
03:58
to shut your engines and discover the power of sleep.
88
223000
3000
at slukke motoren og opdage søvnes magt.
04:01
Thank you.
89
226000
2000
Tak.
04:03
