My big idea is a very, very small idea that can unlock billions of big ideas that are at the moment dormant inside us. And my little idea that will do that is sleep.
Moja velika ideja je pravzaprav zelo majhna, vendar lahko odpira vrata milijardi novih idej, ki trenutno mirujejo v nas. In moja majhna ideja, ki to povzroči, je spanje.

This is a room of type A women. This is a room of sleep-deprived women. And I learned the hard way the value of sleep. Two-and-a-half years ago, I fainted from exhaustion. I hit my head on my desk. I broke my cheekbone, I got five stitches on my right eye. And I began the journey of rediscovering the value of sleep. And in the course of that, I studied, I met with medical doctors, scientists, and I'm here to tell you that the way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful life is getting enough sleep.
To je prostor z ženskami tipa-A. To je prostor z ženskami s pomanjkanjem spanca. Na težji način sem se naučila, kako pomemben je spanec. Dve in pol leti nazaj, sem omedlela od izčrpanosti. Glava mi je omahnila in zlomila sem si ličnico. Dobila sem pet šivov na mojem desnem očesu. In tako sem začela svojo pot ponovnega odkrivanja koristi spanca. V ta namen sem začela študirati o tem. Posvetovala sem se z zdravniki, znanstveniki in prišla sem, da vam povem, da je pot do večje produktivnosti, večje inspirativnosti, večjega zadovoljstva v življenju, dovolj spanja.
(Applause)
(Aplavz)
And we women are going to lead the way in this new revolution, this new feminist issue. We are literally going to sleep our way to the top -- literally --
In prav me ženske bomo sledile tej poti, tej preobrazbi, temu novemu feminističnemu stališču. Pot do vrha bomo prespale. Dobesedno.

because unfortunately, for men, sleep deprivation has become a virility symbol. I was recently having dinner with a guy who bragged that he had only gotten four hours sleep the night before. And I felt like saying to him -- but I didn't say -- I felt like saying, "You know what? if you had gotten five, this dinner would have been a lot more interesting."
Na žalost je moškim pomanjkanje spanja postalo simbol možatosti. Nedavno sem večerjala z nekim moškim, ki se je bahal, da je sinoči spal samo štiri ure. In želela sem mu povedati - pa nisem - želela sem mu reči: "Veš kaj?!" Če bi ti odspal pet ur,
(Laughter)
bi bila ta večerja veliko bolj zabavna."
(Smeh)
There is now a kind of sleep deprivation one-upmanship. Especially here in Washington, if you try to make a breakfast date, and you say, "How about eight o'clock?" they're likely to tell you, "Eight o'clock is too late for me, but that's OK, I can get a game of tennis in and do a few conference calls and meet you at eight." And they think that means they are so incredibly busy and productive, but the truth is, they're not, because we, at the moment, have had brilliant leaders in business, in finance, in politics, making terrible decisions. So a high IQ does not mean that you're a good leader, because the essence of leadership is being able to see the iceberg before it hits the Titanic.
Sedaj obstaja nov način pomanjkanja spanca: "vstan'se ob-enih" Če se poskušaš dogovoriti za zajtrk z nekom, tukaj v Washingtonu in praviš: "Kako bi šlo ob osmih?" bodo verjetno odgovorili: "Ob osmih mi je skoraj že prepozno, ampak v redu, saj lahko pred tem odigram igro tenisa, in naredim nekaj konferenčnih klicev, in se dobiva ob osmih.” In s tem mislijo, da so tako neverjetno zasedeni in ustvarjalni, resnica pa je, da niso, ker se nam trenutno dogaja, da briljantne vodje v podjetništvu, v financah, v politiki, delajo strašne napake. Torej visok I.Q. ne pomeni, da si dober vodja, ker je osnova za vodenje da vidiš ledeno goro, še preden zadane Titanik.
(Laughter)
In imamo preveč ledenih gor,
And we've had far too many icebergs hitting our Titanics. In fact, I have a feeling that if Lehman Brothers was Lehman Brothers and Sisters, they might still be around.
ki zadevajo naš Titanik. Pravzaprav imam občutek, da če bi bili Lehman Brothers (op. p.: Bratje Lehman, znana propadla korporacija v ZDA), Bratje in sestre Lehman, bi mogoče še obstajali.
(Laughter)
(Aplavz)
(Applause)
Ko so bili bratje prezasedeni,
While all the brothers were busy just being hyper-connected 24/7, maybe a sister would have noticed the iceberg, because she would have woken up from a seven-and-a-half- or eight-hour sleep, and have been able to see the big picture.
bili "hiper-povezani", 24 ur, 7 dni v tednu, bi mogoče sestra opazila ledeno goro, ker bi se vstala ob pol sedmih oz. po osem urnem spancu in bila zmožna oceniti celotno situacijo.
So as we are facing all the multiple crises in our world at the moment, what is good for us on a personal level, what's going to bring more joy, gratitude, effectiveness in our lives and be the best for our own careers, is also what is best for the world. So I urge you to shut your eyes, and discover the great ideas that lie inside us; to shut your engines and discover the power of sleep.
In tako smo soočeni z vse večkratnimi krizami v našem svetu ta trenutek. Kar je dobro za nas osebno, kar prinese več veselja, hvaležnosti, učinkovitosti v naših življenjih, in kar je najboljše za naše kariere, je tudi najboljše za cel svet. Torej vas rotim, zaprite oči in odkrijte super ideje, ki so v nas, izklopite malo in odkrijete moč spanca.
Thank you.
Hvala.
