You're listening to kf I AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King
on demand on the iHeartRadio f k f FI and kost HD two Los Angeles,
Orange County. Okay, dat day at Aby King. Good morning.
This is your wake up call for Monday, September twenty five. I'm ab
King. Thanks for waking up with us this morning. Guess what today is.
It's a day Taylor made for me. It's National Binge Day, so
we're gonna be playing special themes all morning in honor of National Binge Day.
But here's what's ahead on the wake up call. Looks like they've got a
deal. After nearly five months on the picket lines, WGA writers and Hollywood
Studios have come to a tentative agreement on a new contract. Union members will
apparently remain on picket lines until members vote to ratify it. You can order
free COVID nineteen tests online once again starting today. The federal government has started
its program to provide free COVID tests now that most insurance companies aren't covering the
cost. Usher is going to headline the Super Bowl fifty eight halftime show at
Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas. It was announced yesterday. Usher did appear during
the Super Bowl forty five halftime show, but the Black Eyed Peas were the
headliners at six oh five. It's handled on the news. Something from out
of this world has come to earth. Let's get started with some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As I just mentioned,
a tentative deal has been reached that could end the writer. My phone
is blowing up with joy, people thanking each other, people that are so
excited. Bill Walcoff is a strike captain for the WGA. The Writers Guild
and studio representatives met for days starting last week and announced the agreement yesterday.
The proposed three year contract would reportedly increase pay and residual payments for streaming shows
and impose new rules surrounding the use of artificial intelligence. The more than eleven
thousand WGA members who went on strike in May will still need to approve the
final contract. The WGA says members are still on strike but will not be
picketing as a contract is finalized. They are encouraged to join the SAG after
picket lines, though, a guy in East Hollywood who allegedly shot two of
his neighbors has managed to give a swat team the slip. The shooting happened
during an argument yesterday. The people shot are expected to be okay. Fully
surrounded the building, but when swat teams went in, they couldn't find the
guy. Republicans in the House have been unable to agree on a spending plan,
as the deadline to avert a government shutdown is just days away. Those
clothes to Speaker Kevin McCarthy are pushing for a short term bill that includes deep
spending cuts, no more funding for Ukraine, and immigration policy changes. McCarthy
says he is optimistic. I think we should show we can govern. I
think we're able to work through this at the end of the day, get
there. A small group of Republican hardliners has been threatening to vote McCarthy out
of his speakership if they don't get their way. Former President Trump appears to
support a government shutdown. Last night, Trump posted this message to his supporters
in the House quote unless you get everything, shut it down. ABC's at
faith, Abubai, says. Republican Congressman Mike Turner has expressed confidence in Speaker
McCarthy, but admits he's in a difficult position. A space capsule carrying NASA's
first asteroid samples has landed in the desert in Utah. The capsule was released
by the Osiris Rex spacecraft yesterday. This was like hinting a hole in one
from sixty three thousand miles above the planet. The journey took seven years.
ABC's Genus and Sara says. Scientists say they expect to get at least a
cup of rubble. They're hoping to find precursors, like little biological material that
will say, hey, this is where life came from. And they'll do
that. In the Moon Rocks Lab at the Johnson Space Center, Japan,
collected about a teaspoon of rubble and a pair of asteroids. Missions Holy scoring
machine. The Miami Dolphins have scored the most points in a game by an
NFL team since nineteen sixty six. Overwhelming. I think that's an understatement.
The Denver Broncos seventy to twenty miss that one. Don't think it was probably
a really good game, So not too worried about it. It's five or
six on your wake up call. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen
Portnoy. Stephen there is a Republican debate on Wednesday happening at the Reagan Library.
Former pros sit in. Trump says he's skipping this one too, but
he's still killing it in the polls. The ABC name was Washington Post survey
out yesterday has the former president with fifty four percent support among Republicans and Republican
leaning independence, about four months before the first voting actually begins. And the
next leading contender, Ron De Santis, is down from twenty five percent in
our poll earlier this year to fifteen percent now, so by a roughly forty
point margin. Donald Trump enjoys majority support among Republicans and Republican leaning independence,
and he's skipping Wednesday night's debate. He's going to be in Detroit speaking to
what his campaign says will be a crowd of auto workers as the current president,
Joe Biden, heads to Detroit tomorrow to march along the workers and the
picket lines, which is something we've never seen before for sitting president. So
you know, that's the picture of the Republican race, Okay. And Trump's
support is gaining like you said it to, Santis has dropped off. Is
Trump kind of soaking up all the support, or is some of like de
Santis, is going to other candidates or any of them rising up? Well,
it's no, the answers no, all the other candidates are in the
single digits. But which interesting here is forty three percent of Republicans and Republican
leaning independence would prefer another candidate. But that's not enough if the election were
held today. It's not being held today, but if it were being held
a day, Donald Trump would be the Republican standard bearer. Okay, so
if you added everyone up who wouldn't support Trump, that's more than his support,
right, But the Republicans no, No, that's not right. So
so that's the point. More Republicans support Donald Trump than his rivals all put
together. Oh okay, So even if everybody consolidated into and everybody dropped out
and just say say Nicky Haley was then one, and they all voted for
nick Trump still has more support this moment and in theory. But that's because
it's not a binary choice, and because you know, the opposition is diverse,
you know, and spread across as many as eight or nine candidates.
I think the point is not there's not a single alternate option. But even
if there were, which is why I think what you're asking, Donald Trump
would seemingly still enjoy majority support among Republicans and Republican leading independence. We should
also note this poll shows that if the election were held today, and it's
not being held today, the election is more than a year from now,
Donald Trump would beat Joe Biden in a national head to head, Which is
why a number of Democrats are are blasting our survey. They're they're noting what
we're reporting, which is that it's an outlier compared to other polls which have
the race much closer in a head to head in a horse race. But
I caution you and everyone to take this for what it is, which is
a snapshot in time and a sentiment of the public mood at this point.
Why would Donald Trump be leading Joe Biden and our survey by nine points among
all adults. Well, you can look inside the survey and see that there
is tremendous anxiety about the state of the economy right now. Nine in ten
voters are unhappy with the price of food and gas, and they believe that
Joe Biden has performed poorly on the economy and on immigration, and three quarters
in the survey say he's too old to run for another term. So behind
all that you get a sense of why the polls are reflecting their voters,
maybe trying to send a message in their answers to the survey that they're not
particularly interested in another Biden presidency and maybe they would prefer Donald Trump. But
again, the elections not being held today, there's a whole another year for
the candidates to make their argument, plus cut almost in a month and change
for the candidates to make their arguments and for Americans to weigh the two choices
that they'll be presented with likely two choices and then make a decision. Is
the longest election season ever? Stephen port Or, thank you so much for
your time and your insight this morning. I appreciate it. Bet. Let's
get back to some of the stories coming out of the Kfight twenty four hour
newsroom. Smash and grab thieves have targeted businesses in Silver Lake. They broke
into an Sie place early yesterday and tried to get into a gelato shop Yum,
but employees at a high end sneaker store say they think that they were
probably the intended target. The store has been broken into three times before now
and now has metal gates protecting the shop in the front and the back.
The driver of a blue corvette, the police say might have been racing another
driver has killed a pedestrian at Sunset and Labreya. The driver took off.
The collision happened around one thirty this morning. USC has received almost twenty seven
million dollars from the Department of Defense to help reduce the country's resilient or reliance
rather on foreign microelectronics. Microelectronics are tiny components such as transistors, diodes,
and conductors. The Department of Defense wants USC's Innovation Hub to focus on microelectronic
element in areas such as artificial intelligence, hardware, cybersecurity, five G and
six G wireless, and quantum technology, but also electromagnetic warfare to secure computing
at the tactical edge. USC's Innovation Hub is one of eight designed to help
safeguard the supply chain of microchips for American troops and national defense in Orange County.
Corbin Carson k if I News, a Russian official, says Ukraine has
launched another missile attack on Sevastopol on the occupied Crimean peninsula. Ukraine has increasingly
target targeted naval facilities in Crimea. An attack Friday on the headquarters of Russia's
Black Sea Fleet damaged the main building and one service man is missing. Ukraine's
intelligence chief says at least nine people were killed and sixteen others were wounded in
that attack. People on Maui are being escorted back into their burned out neighborhoods
in Lahina seeing their properties, maybe collect the information photographs for insurance purposes,
the first time they've been allowed back since the wildfires. Emergency Management head Darryl
Olivera says urging families not to start digging into the ash for things like wedding
rings just yet, because it's still not safe. It's been a month and
a half since the wildfire that killed at least ninety seven ninety seven people.
As I mentioned a couple of minutes ago, it is National Binge Day,
and if you love to binge like I love to binge, here's something just
for you. Online Casinos dot Com is celebrating National Binge Day with a contest
to determine which Netflix series is the most binge worthy on the line. Squid
Game, saw That, Stranger Things, Saw That Wednesday, saw That love
that. The winner's going to get a month to watch all three series in
their entireties, so it's about fifty hours of viewing. And then they get
a budget of two thousand dollars. They also get five hundred dollars to cover
snacks and a Netflix subscription if they don't already have one. Come on,
who doesn't have a Netflix subscription? Anyway? The deadline to make your submission
is midnight tonight, which as I mentioned, is National binge Day and Kono,
I got a new Bene show for you. It's I Don't it's not
a brand new show, but it's got a new season. It's called Invasion.
Ah, you haven't seen it. He's given me the funny act.
So it came out. This was just the second season, so we're about
halfway through the season. I think there's like four or five six episodes out.
And so I watched season two. First season. I didn't like it,
but I watched it because I like these kinds of movies, like what
was the show with the movie with Amy Adams wasn't called Contact? That was
that was Jody I can't remember, but those kinds of shows and interactions with
aliens are always fascinating to me. And of course the Aliens are bad guys
and they're coming and they're destroying the earth. But the second season they're trying
to make contact with the aliens as opposed to the Aliens just going and ravaging
and scaring everybody and killing people. So it's getting a little more interesting.
So if you are looking for a new binge and that's on Apple, got
it? Okay, dook National Binge Day. In fact, maybe I'm gonna
head it home and do a little binging after work. What a great idea
instead of going for a walk on a beautiful fall day. You know,
when we come back, we're gonna be talking with ABC's Karen Travers about a
new poll out that has to have the president nervous. WGA and Hollywood Studio
negotiators have come to a tentative agreement to end the nearly five month long writers
strike SAG after officials say they'll be watching closely to see how they will move
forward. Actors have been on strike since late July. Several students have been
injured in a campus shooting at Tuskegee University in Alabama. University officials say the
shooting happened yesterday at an unauthorized party at a student housing complex. Gas prices
on the eyes up one and a half cents in Alley County to an average
of almost six twelve a gallon. Prices are up seventy two cents a gallon
in the last three weeks. Orange County gas up to an average of six
o nine a gallon. In my hood this morning it was six o nine,
and across the street it was six sixty nine a gallon at six oh
five. It's handled on the news. With a government shutdown looming, lawmakers
are pushing ideas to end government shutdowns forever. Would that'd be nice? Right
now, let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen, the President
the White House keep telling us how great everyone's doing, how things are getting
better, inflation's coming down. But the latest ABC Washington Post poll shows the
American people are not buying this. Yeah, yeah, that was exactly what
I was going to say, that they're really not buying what the President is
selling at this point, especially on the economy, which you know we talked
about this by dynamics is such a key focus for the president right now.
In his official events at White House and on the road, and it will
be a big part of the reelection campaign message. But just thirty percent of
Americans approve of his handling of the economy. And this ABC News Washington Post
poll found forty four percent of people say they're not as well off as they
were when the president took office. If you look at that, immigration,
other issues, it all adds up to a very rough approval rating for the
president thirty seven percent approval, fifty six percent disapprove. That's nineteen points underwater,
which is really tough at this time going into the election season. Is
this the lowest approval rating? I know that everything fluctuates, but has it
been lower before? Is this kind of bottomed out right now? I don't
know if there's enough, Like I have to look and see the historic trend
of other presidents at this point, but you know, the president, this
president has hovered around a point like this. But you know, the White
House is downplaying this. And I will see how Korean Jean Pierre talks about
this today. She's always so careful not to talk about campaign related issues.
I think this is beyond the campaign. You know, it's not just about
the re election, It's about what he is doing right now, and when
they talk about Bynomics at official events, then it's part of the White House
portfolio. The other big thing, of course, is the president's age,
and that continues to be a real political liability. Seventy four percent of Americans
in this quote said he is too old to effectively serve a second term.
A majority of Democrats sixty two percent say someone else should be the nominee.
Well, and I think signs of his age. I mean, he's obviously
incredibly smart, but you see things that happen, like when he was on
stage with the leader of Brazil last week and he kind of ran into a
flag and then he didn't shake the leader's hand before he left the stage.
I mean, it was just like awkward little things that you go, Wow,
is something going on here? And I think people are seeing that more.
Yeah, the White House. Anytime any questions come up about this,
the White House will say, you know, just watch him, watch the
schedule he keeps, watch the pace of events that he does, and watch
what he is doing in office. But critics and even some allies will say
the pace is not what it could be of a president. You know,
he doesn't have as many events as maybe he could be doing. And you
know, it's a different type of schedule than we've seen from his predecessors,
so that is something that you know, they say, watch him, and
people say, well, we are and we're still having concerns. Yeah,
okay, And before I let you go, just real quick, if there's
a shutdown, is that going to bode well or bad for the White House?
According to your new poll, you know, yeah, this was interesting
and we'll see how this plays out. This poll found that forty percent would
blame the president and Democrats in Congress versus thirty three percent who put it on
Republicans, even though it right now is Republican infighting that is leading to this
brinksmanship, So we'll see. I mean, also could be that people just
haven't been paying attention to what's going on and they're not happy with the president,
so that's being reflected in polls. All right, all right, ABC's
Karen Travor, thank you so much for your time and all of the information
you always provide for us. Thank you. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. The powerball
jackpots up to seven hundred eighty five million dollars. It's the ninth largest lottery
jackpot in US history. The last powerball jackpot was one July nineteenth, when
a ticket worth over a billion dollars was sold in downtown LA. The next
powerball drawing is tonight. Hundreds of store owners in Oakland say they're going on
strike to protest the rise in crime in their neighborhoods, even if the crime
is not hidden my store, but in other businesses is bad. You know,
Oakland is beautiful and we have to keep it safe. You know,
police have to do something. They mayor have to do something. Two hundred
businesses have pledged to close tomorrow. Mayor Shentao has urged them not to strike.
You don't need to strike to get the city's attention, she says.
The city will install three hundred cameras by next month, and new measures passed
recently include having the FBI help with investigations. A man from Cerritos is expected
to plead guilty to federal charges for his role in allegedly stealing more than twenty
thousand pills known as skittles that contained fentanyl. The multicolored pills are made to
resemble oxycodone pills. Christopher Hampton was named in an eleven count indictment last year,
charging him with various drug and weapons offenses that could get him a life
sentence if convicted. A teenager kidnapped from the Inland Empire has been rescued by
police in central California. On September eighteenth, The DJ says three men allegedly
caused a traffic accident in Highland, which resulted in a seventeen year old boy
crashing into the men's suv. When the boy got out of his vehicle,
the three men forcibly took him. Later that afternoon, the boy's mom received
a phone call. The speaker demanded half a million dollars in ransom be sent
to an unspecified location in Mexico, otherwise her son's body parts would be cut
off. On Friday morning, police tracked the three men to a motel in
Santa Maria, where the boy was being held. The three men are scheduled
in court this afternoon. If convicted, they could face life in prison.
Andrew Caravella KFI News, as you may or may not know, I'm a
Disneyland fan and I love to go to the park. I have a pass.
I go, not as much as a lot of people, but I
know who have passes, But I go, you know, like once a
month, and I dig Disneyland. And my brother knows this, so he
sent me an article over the weekend and I was like, Ah, this
makes sense. It talks about why Disneyland is so darn addicting. I wish
I knew how to qurt you. You can't. Wish I knew how to
quurt you. You can't. You can't because it has to do with several
factors. But sense is one of them. Fomo fear of missing out is
another one, and nostalgia. So when you go to the sense category,
Disney's pretty famous for like when you walk down Main Street, you smell cinnamon
rolls, and in different parts of the park you smell things, and smells
are high on the list of creating like a yearning for things because they trigger
memories and positive emotions. So when you smell things, you go, oh,
yeah, I like that or I remember that, and like sometimes you
might get like the aroma of the woodsy pines when you're walking over in Disney
California, Adventure by the Grizzly Peak, or you get the fresh baked goods
as they mentioned along Main Street. But all of those things, you're all
factory sensors. Is that right, That has to do with it. Here's
another thing with everybody so into social media. People are influenced by images their
friends and families post on social media, like family vacations at Disneyland, and
Disney knows this, and so they have cool photo ops, like there are
photo spots all around the park. There are there are photographers around the park
who can help you out. There's there's backdrops and like step and repeat kind
of opportunities to take all these cool pictures. You get that fear of missing
out. You see somebody do that and you go, oh, I want
to do that too. So that's another thing. And then the other thing
that apparently contributes to the reason that we love Disneyland so much is because it
kind of allows you to indulge in your nostalgia because you're going back to like
if you first went to Disneyland when you were a kid. You have those
memories and you want to relive those memories and it has you know, feelings
of happiness and security. And I know when I go to Disneyland, I
always go. You know, I'm a grown woman, but I can act
like a kid again. So I'm doing exactly what they're kind of getting me
to do. It's working for me. I hope it works for you.
I think it's a great place to be. There, you go. The
world has gotten crazy. We're over busy, we're overworked, we're cut off
from friends, struggling to make ends meet, and it's got us feeling over
anxious. Doctor John Deloney wants to help you get your life back in balance.
So let's get stay Good morning now too, Doctor John Deloney, author
of a brand new book called Building an Anxious Life. Good morning, Amy,
thank you so much for having me. We are becoming more and more
anxious, and I think that decreases our level of happiness and satisfaction, and
we need a way to fix that. That's right. I think we have
to start by reframing what anxiety is. Anxiety is just an alarm. It's
just the gas gage on your car saying hey, you need to address something,
and we have turned that into the problem. It's like we've created an
entire culture of fancy duct tapes to cover up our dashboard so that we don't
have to see the signals telling us, hey, you need to pull a
car over. And so if you think of anxiety as not the enemy,
not the problem, but just simply a smoke detector in your kitchen, then
quickly you have to look around and see what in your house is on fire.
Are there physical manifestations of this anxiety that should go off as an alarm
in our heads. Yeah, when you're talking about clinical anxiety, you're talking
about ruminating thoughts that just lou and loop and loup. You're talking about snapping
awake at two thirty every morning, night at night after night. You're talking
about that pervasive feeling of loneliness, that racing heart, that warmth that you're
in your stomach when you see that thing. You know, your kid slams
ther door, you see the stock market, the red arrow pointing down,
your husband flips his phone over up when you walk in, and you just
get that warmth in your stomach. Those are some of the classic signs.
I don't think they're fully instructive. Here's a couple of others. If somebody
cuts you off in traffic and you gret grip the steering wheels so tight you
can snap it in half and your neck. You know, your arteries in
your neck look like extension chords, and you just get enraged. Or if
you find yourself yelling at a high school kid who's refing your kid's te ball
game, or if you find yourself skipping work and just staying in bed,
you find yourself spending thirty minutes in the shower just having imaginary conversations with your
boss that you will never have in real life. Those are all all signs
that your body's trying to get your attention. So what do we do.
I think it's important to be honest. And I'm a mental health guide.
That's my tribe, that's my gang, and I think it's important for that
conversation to start with us, and so I'll start it. I have to
look in the mirror and say, I have to begin to look at the
fires, not the anxiety. What does that mean? That means I have
to be really honest with myself. I have to choose reality. I got
to choose to be honest about what's the state of my marriage, my job,
my finances, my relationship with my kids, my health, my spiritual
life, where am I in space? We also have to be honest about
how lonely. We all are. We've created the loneliest generation in human history.
We have to choose connection. Okay, and you say that in your
book. Are you say that choosing love is a key component to helping to
build a non anxious life. What do you mean by that? Yeah,
it's it's choosing connection, right. So our bodies are wired to be in
proximity to other people. I know who I am and space because of the
people in my space. And when you take that out, when you replace
communication with connection with communication, I text my wife all day, a hundred
times a day, I love you, I love you, I love you.
And so when I walk in the front door, I never say it.
I said it a hundred times today, except her body doesn't feel safe
because her husband walks in it takes it right in the house and goes upstairs
and turns the game on instead of plugging into it because I've plugged in all
day. It's different. So we have to choose to be awkward and weird.
And there's no roadmap for forty year olds to make friends. I wish
that roadmap exists. That it doesn't. When I was a kid, they
stuck us all on the same kickball team and said, y'all go figure it
out. That's all gone. Now I have to choose to go make friends
people that are going to be in my space, okay. And so it
sounds like what your book is going to teach people is how to make better
choices. And you do say that it's not going to be easy. And
what I want to do is empower people, give them the steering wheel to
their life back. And yes, that means we have to make some hard
choices. And by the way, there's two hard paths. We can crash
and burn or which is going to be hard, or we can do the
hard things and make sacrifices and make hard choices and change everything. The path
isn't easy. It's which hard are we going to choose? Okay? And
well, you can choose to start making that change now by getting yourself a
copy of Building a Non Anxious Life, Doctor Deloney, Where can we find
it? You can go to John Deloney dot com right now. It's in
pre sale. We've got some bribes there to encourage you to buy the pre
sale early. It releases on October third, and it will be in every
bookstore everywhere, at Amazon everywhere, fabulous, Doctor John Deloney. I feel
better already. I think I love some of the things that you said about
just taking basically taking a chill pill and really look at things as they are,
not as you're it's supposed to have them, but as they are,
and then you can really, you know, decide what you're going to do
about it. That's right and some times taking a hard look at things as
scary and things get worse before they get better. I want all of your
listeners to know they're worth that trip, even when it's hard. Thanks again
to doctor John Deloney. You can pre order his book at doctor John Deloney
dot com and then it goes on sale October three. Now let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room.
The second Republican presidential debate is happening this week at the Reaga National Library
in Simi Valley. It's actually on Wednesday. It'll be live streamed on Rumbull.
The chairwoman of the National Committee for the Republicans said earlier this year that
the decision was aimed toward getting away from big tech. Some Republican candidates have
started posting campaign videos on the site, including former President Trump, Florida Governor
Ronda Santis, and entrepreneur veveik Ramaswamy. President Trump is skipping the debate.
News brought to you by Semper Solaris. Some Democrats in Congress say Democratic Senator
Bob Menendez should resign following an indictment in a bribery case. His wife is
also charged. Aaron Katurski says Menendez has responded by saying he's not going anywhere.
He is casting this as a persecution by a justice department that's controlled by
his own party, and he says that he's intending any way to fight the
charges. Menendez and his wife are due in federal court this week. The
Voice season twenty four premiers tonight. It'll be without Blake Shelton, who had
been with the show since the start. In his place, Country star Reba
McIntyre joins the coaching panel, along with returning champion Nil Horn, John Legend,
and Gwen Stefani, who's now married to Blake Shelton. The show is
hosted by Carson Daily. Right now, let's say good morning to the director
of the Sleep Disorders Institute at Providence Mission Hospital in Orange County. Doctor Bruce
Tamilin. Good morning, doctor, Bruce Tamilin here, good morning, Hey.
We wanted to get your insight on a new study that suggests that night
owls have a nearly twenty percent increased chance of getting diabetes compared to early birds.
Yeah, this was an interesting study. It came out a couple of
weeks ago out of Harvard and they looked at sixty four thousand nurses they've been
studying for like thirty years, and over the last eight years, they looked
at their risk of diabetes relative to whether they were a night owl or a
metal ark or a morning lark, and they found that off the top,
right off the top, seventy two percent of the night owls were more likely
to develop diabetes compared to the early birds for the regular sleepers when they corrected
for these risk factors. Because one of the key things in the article was
that night owls have a much worse likelihood of living a normal life expectancy because
when they looked at them, they had they were heavier, higher body mass
index, drank more alcohol, poor diet, and smokers, and of course
they got less sleep as a consequence of being night owls. So when they
corrected for that, the likely dropped to nineteen percent of developing diabetes. Just
being a night owl alone likely to likely attribute it to obtaining less sleep,
and less sleep makes you less healthy and apparent, and that's tied to less
healthy habits. I mean, it makes sense to me when you're when you're
talking about you you eat worse, because I know that when I'm sitting around
and it's eleven o'clock at night, I'm like, hmm, might sure like
a snack. Or if you have a cocktail at seven or eight, you
go, oh, maybe I'll have another one, whereas if you're going to
bed at eight or nine, you're less probably less likely to drink. Yeah,
there was an earlier paper that showed that if you obtain less than five
hours sleep, you're two and a half times more likely to develop diabetes,
and less than six hours you're one and a half times likely to develop diabetes.
So that and again, as you mentioned, night owls are fifty percent
more likely to have an unhealthy lifestyle when you look at all those other factors,
and so you being a sleep disorder guy, this plays right into to
what we need to talk to you about. Like, so if you're not
getting enough sleep. How do you go about getting the recommended amount of sleep?
Because we need how much do we need? Seven to eight depending on
age. Teenagers need nine hours, but seven to eight for adults is recommended.
And this is it's about going to sleep at a regular scheduled bedtime and
waking up at a regular scheduled bedtime. And the most difficult challenge is the
teenage boys. But they outgrow it. But there are some people who are
night owls genetically, and it's hard to it's hard to cure that. If
you will, they just need to get a job that allows them to come
to work later, okay, so that they can get the acquired sleep.
So when people say they're night oils, I mean like they're genetically predisposed.
She's just staying up late and other people just get up early. I know
my mom was a late riser and dad was an early riser. Yeah,
it's genetic. They have found an area in the brain that actually controls that
genetically. But it's not everybody. It's maybe only twenty percent are genetic.
The rest of them are just by habit. Their circadian rhythm is like a
gyroscope. It's set in that direction, and it's hard to move it,
but it can be moved in the majority of people. Okay, it's ye
discipline. Here's a quick question for you. Sometimes we had Dana and I
were talking about this producer Dana. She was saying that sometimes when she gets
more than eight hours asleep, she's exhausted for the whole day. So is
there such thing as getting too much sleep? Yes? There is. I
mean nine hours or so is a risk factor two for decreased life expectancy and
development of diabetes. So you don't want to get nine hours asleep, Okay,
you want to get seven or eight? Seven or eight that's her target.
And one last question for you, because it has happened to me this
morning. My alarm is set for two thirty in the morning. How is
it that I can wake up a minute before my alarm? How does my
body tell time? Again? Your circadian rhythm is like a gyroscope. Once
you're set in that time. Like people who move from New York to Los
Angeles, they remain on the New York timeline for a long long time unless
they make a conscious effort, and it takes longer. The older people are,
the longer it is the more difficult it is to move your circadian rhythm,
which again is like the gyroscope to keep showing your biological sleep pattern.
All right, doctor Bruce Tamilin, thank you so much for your time this
morning. Thank you for getting up early for us this morning. I hope
it didn't knock off your circadian rhythm. No, that's the way it is,
all right, Thanks, take care by again. That's doctor Bruce Tamilin,
the director of Sleep Disorders Institute at Providence Mission Hospital in Orange County.
I think I've got my circadian rhythm set because i actually woke up without my
alarm. Good to know. Let's get back to some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. A baby and Lancaster who
