What is Sleep?

Dr. Matthew Walker what sleep is, including the stages of sleep (rapid eye movement REM sleep & non-rapid eye movement sleep NREM) and why we sleep. Dr. Matthew Walker is a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and is the author of the New York Times bestseller, "Why We Sleep". Dr. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Peaceful deep sleep is so replenishing. I treasure a cozy rest grateful I'm in a place in my life I'm able to get enough. Not getting enough good quality sleep is definitely detrimental to our health.

Glutathione is a redox buffer that regulates ATP production in the mitochondria. I have been using liposomal glutathione for about 20 months now. I "suck" 2 - 4ml in the morning and I find that my REM sleep is greatly improved. I used to wake at 4am and not go back to sleep, now I awaken after 7 - 8 hours of nutritious sleep, usually after an imaginative dream. I'm trying to spread the work, I want people to study this simple treatment further

The autonomic storms that happen during sleep, like the heart rate and blood pressure dramatically and randomly rising and dropping, and the fight/flight response randomly firing is the mind/brain testing the physical body much like a mechanic would do with a car while parked in a shop, testing things in the engine, pushing all the way down on the accelerator, pressing and releasing the brake, to make sure they are functioning properly. These functions are needed to be performed properly by the body during the waking state of daily life. Therefore, sleep is the time that the communication (neural connection) from brain to body is tested and re-calibrated. Also, the reason for the eyes and ear muscles remaining active and highly alert is to facilitate instant activation of hearing and seeing in the event the body needs to awaken suddenly due to a survival threat.

Bro thank you, I was really wondering about that smart guy

I think you should check out the info Dr. Stasha Gominak has put together from her sleep labs. Super interesting insight on the brain stem and it's Vitamin D and pantothenic acid B5 receptors, needed for REM SLEEP. She ties in acetylcholine's role in this as well. I would love to hear your thoughts on her words!

[@jessicaraye]

Thank you so much for this comment! I just found her videos and looks like really great info! I been feeling lately I need to supplement vit d and that it's connected to my bad sleep. Now I can make sense of it

[@thesovietflaganthemguy2344]

Sleep sounds amazing I should try it sometime

[@mrlionman8739]

My mind is about to explode 🤯 I cannot fathom what is being explained, I mean, I understand the words being said but can’t begin to truely comprehend their meaning 😯 seriously such a thought provoking conversation I’m happy to have come across. Also love the passion from Mr Walker!

[@tahachorfi2311]

So impressive 🙌

[@phuongkimmai3294]

🌺 for Dr Mathew !

[@edgarmendez6]

This is gonna be awesome 🤩

[@LianaTelioni]

Thank you!! Amazing!!! Greetings from Athens!!

[@mymom9466]

Thank you for this quick clip. Is there a connection between horizontal eye movements during REM sleep that prompted the discovery/creation of EMDR therapy?

[@valduguay5773]

houuuuuu great question

Scientists believe sleepwalking occurs when two areas of the brain - the limbic region of the brain that deals with raw emotions and the area of the cortex that manages complex motor activity - remain awake while the areas that would otherwise mitigate their primitive impulses - notably the frontal cortex (rationality) ...

[@arthurallenbrown1305]

Why is there sleepwalking

[@phuongkimmai3294]

💝🌺....for Dr Matthew !

[@mymom9466]

Are the horizontal eye movements in REM sleep part of the detox process in the brain. Also why can the brain not detox itself if we don’t sleep between the hour of 10pm and 4am?

[@grassystars]

Most likely evolutionary reasons and the circadian rhythm

''sudden hundreds of thousands of cells in my cortex all decide to fire together and then they all go silent together,and its this remarkable physiological coordination'' Shouldn't you see the will right here and understand that this work is the action of the Creator? instead of saying '' mother nature''.

[@lorenzoe.leonard4160]

What do you think about who says that the book Why We Sleep is riddled with scientific and factual errors?

[@saif_hz1]

well u tried sleeping but... it didnt work cuz im A GAMER HAHAHA!!!

[@garysimone4977]

Thus guy get famous from a book he wrote that was highly. Criticism from scientists thus he and the college had to walk back many of the claims

[@y.g.1313]

wow, what an amazing, deeply sxientific bunch of useless ramblings, without a single useful snlppet of info. i am impressed, lol.

[@y.g.1313]

@HunterPC on a nicer note, Yeh, maybe you understood it better. So, what's your best useful tip from the video?

[@cj.174]

"why would mother nature do that to us" stick to sleep bro keep your pseudoscience away from the subject.
