Animals sleep in such diverse and adaptable ways 🤯 From unihemispheric sleep to polyphasic patterns, the animal kingdom shows us that sleep is non-negotiable. Why is sleep so crucial despite its apparent maladaptive nature? 🤔 #sleepscience

💇‍♂️ A listener's query about Matt’s... ahem... "Axl Rose" phase led Dr. Eti Ben Simon & him to a critical topic: beauty sleep! Is it myth or validated science? Turns out, sufficient, high-quality sleep profoundly impacts skin health & perceived attractiveness. 🛌

🗣️🎙️ Eti Ben Simon highlights a crucial sleep debt study caveat: subjective perception of sleepiness is unreliable during sleep deprivation. We often lack metacognitive awareness of our impairment – analogous to alcohol intoxication's effect on judgment. Objective measures are key.

Why that specific waking time? ⏰ Biological tides shift mid-sleep: cortisol begins its rise, melatonin wanes, core body temperature increases—all priming wakefulness. @DrEtiBenSimon notes night owls experience this later (e.g., 5 AM). Avoid clock-watching! 🕰️ #Chronotype

Partner falls asleep instantly, you take hours? ⏳ While frustrating, rapid (<1 min) sleep onset isn't always ideal; it can signify chronic sleep debt. Eti Ben Simon stresses seeking help (like CBTI) for prolonged sleep onset difficulties. Is faster always better? ⏱️ #SleepOnset

Eti Ben Simon Dreams predicting the future?🔮 Compelling anecdotes meet statistical reality. The Law of Large Numbers + confirmation bias + subconscious pattern recognition explain most "precognitive" dreams. Eti Ben Simon: Your brain is pattern matching! Real prophecy? ✨ #DreamInterpretation

Unveiling REM's hidden power! 🛌 While known for dreams, REM sleep offers profound physical restoration benefits often unrecognised. It's indispensable not just for the mind, but crucially, for the body's numerous functions. #REMSleep #Physiology themattwalkerpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1821163/episod…

Night terrors: a challenging & misunderstood sleep phenomenon 😟. Unlike nightmares, these intense episodes disrupt sleep, occurring between wakefulness & deep slumber 🛌. What are your experiences? #NightTerrors #SleepScience themattwalkerpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1821163/episod…

📵 Beyond physiological effects, the mere presence of a smartphone nearby significantly compromises sleep quality. As highlighted by Dr. Eti Ben Simon (Eti Ben Simon), anticipatory anxiety about morning notifications can diminish the quantity and depth of NREM sleep 📉.

Eti Ben Simon 👽 Fascinatingly, REM sleep paralysis experiences often parallel narratives of alleged alien abductions. Dr. Eti Ben Simon theorizes that muscle atonia’s primary evolutionary function might be restorative 💪, with dreaming subsequently co-opting this physiologic state.
