      I understand how important the research is but i wish they would do more to protect the animals during research programs like these. I think at the very least they should be required to pay a tax for each lab animal they use with a second tax applied to each animal crippled or killed and then that money goes towards animal welfare programs, and any animals that aren't infectious or crippled to the point they need to be put down be sent to either an adoption center or some sort of refuge (both of which be funded through that tax). Vivisection and surgery without anesthesia should have a complete ban with violators losing not just their business license but also any researchers involved lose their licenses/diplomas.

      Arthas Menethil yes and then smaller companies wont do it at all and then we can all complain that big corporations run all of new medicine, when our regulation made it so. I feel remorse for the animals, I have 6 dogs, basically have had them my whole life, I understand it but we're calculating that an animal life will save a human life, and that is almost always a worthy trade or at least should be.

    Every time I’ve been in the hospital, the nurses and other staff seemed determined to keep me from getting any sleep. All times of the day and night, they kept coming into the room to check my temperature, pulse, blood pressure and other things they would wake me up to do. It’s no wonder I was in such pain!

    My theory is that sleeping evolved as a way the body can conserve more energy during the time when it was harder to see and do things. It eventually started using extra some of that extra energy to do stuff like healing. Eventually animals started needing sleep so much they couldn't live without it.

      Almost all animals sleep, for example the hydra which is 1cm in size also sleeps.
      Now our common ancestor is more than 500 million years ago with this animal and have common genetic protein processes; the idea that sleep is to conserve energy is perfectly reasonable but looking at the extremeties of life that share similar biological sleep adaptations I would have to say that, that hypothesis is not fully developed/encompassing to explain a predictive biological model of sleep in different animals to test out the idea across the panoply of examples in nature. A predictive model that can show results across a multivariate amount of examples would give if not a conclusive understanding but a better perspective on the way sleep function encompasses Terran life.

      Hi John-Michael, WoW! 2-3 per day! You're my Hero! I have to struggle to go twice a week and that's with laxatives. I've considered just drinking protein drinks to make things easier but my doctors don't like that idea.
      As they say "The Grass is Always Greener":) Thanks.

      For those of u that struggle to go for days at a time, my g.f. had the same issue. Sometimes laxatives help, sometimes not. Sometimes we think they aren't working, then one day she just can't leave the bathroom for more than a few minutes. Lately something that has helped her be a little more regular is *Chia Seeds*. Idk how, or if at all, but she seems to think there's a change.

      Angelina Black I don't think being awake partially at night and day is unhealthy as long as you sleep enough. I work night shift, so I wake up at 12pm every day and don't fall asleep until 3am.

      +Joshy - While that's partially true, it is worth mentioning that sleeping from 05:00 to 14:00 may not necessarily be that far off +Angelina Black's inbuilt circadian rhythm anyway. I personally find that when I don't set any alarm clocks and just let my body dictate when I sleep, I am in bed from 3:00 to 11:00, so sleeping from 05:00 to 14:00 would be less of a disruption of my sleep pattern than sleeping from 23:00 to 07:00, or whatever passes for "normal" sleep times.

      It's possibly due to the photograph technique at the time. Very early photographs were sketched, by hand, onto a photosensitive plate, and then later improved similar to a painting. So, you'd still have to stand perfectly still for up to a few minutes while the "photographer" did a quick sketch. There are clues in the photo at 4:20 that lend to this. Notice how his shirt collar and tie seem impossibly smooth.
      It's easier to hold a pose on the face when it's completely relaxed. One way people managed this was to pull the type of face you've highlighted.
      Also, if those people had been alive since before photographs became prevalent, they would have already learnt this relaxed face method when posing for paintings. There would have been an association between posing for a painting and posing for a photograph.
      There would also have been a culture around how you're supposed to look when posing for your picture (whether a painting or new tech). People not used to having their picture taken would have deferred to the cultural norm (encouraged by the painter/photographer in a similar way we're asked to "say cheese").

    Interesting. Sleep has always facinated me. Number 8, the one about cleaning the brain, I have always called that "rebooting". I call it rebooting because like a computer issue that's solved by rebooting the system sleep does the same thing for me. It doesn't need to be a full nights sleep (although that's the best), a nap will work too. If I'm in a bad mood, really emotional or feeling really negative I can take a nap and wake up "rebooted". It works most of the time.

      You can adjust it in the settings to be 5secs, 20secs, or even 1 or 2mins. I chose 5secs as 10secs is too long for me.
      Another thing, if you tap the video as if you're going to pause it those forward and back arrows will take you to the previous or next video. If you didn't push the arrow to go back a video and click the forward one it will take you to the next video in the autoplay section

    Well, now some of my sleep problems make sense. Sleep studies suck, but are so worth it to find out why you don’t sleep or feel exhausted all day, or have lots of pain and inflammation.

      It does when you regularly don't get enough sleep. Growth hormone gets released primarily when you are sleeping.

      I did that (3-6hrs) when I was 13 and 14 and I ended up having a poor memory (e.g. once my friend told me that she went to the city I was born only 2 years ago and I guided her.... i couldn't remember that at all) as well as thinking speed (doing questions, reaction speed, speech, etc.) .... so.... unless you don't want to live long, I don't suggest you do that

    I totally agree with the concept of "work place power naps". If you have a lunch, skip the meal and sleep for 45 minutes, drinking plenty of water while you wake back up.

    Good video. Thanks for presenting sleep facts, especially that piece from 2013 about the brain cell distances expanding by 60% and more CSF flowing in the brain, which was new to me (I gave up trying to pursue medical solutions to my chronic sleep issues, and therefore stopped doing much reading about the subject).
    Some notes about #3: “[the brain is] Active During Sleep”:
    Yes, the brain is active during sleep, especially stage one (the ‘light nap’, just fell asleep/just waking up sleep stage) and stage two (REM/dream sleep), but there are also sleep periods with much lower amounts of activity. This is when you get literal brain rest. This is sleep stage 3 (merged from stages 3 & 4 in the old model). It is a non-REM period. It is also referred to as delta sleep, delta-wave sleep (what your brain activity looks like on an EEG; I’ve slow-wave), or just plain “deep sleep”. This is the stage that it sucks the most to be woken during... and the stage that it sucks the most to not get enough of.
    Deep sleep/delta-wave sleep is the part of sleep that is most important when talking about “quality of sleep”. Talking about number of hours is much less meaningful than talking about sleep quality. If you sleep for 7 hours and have lots of dreams, but NO deep sleep, your brain has not actually rested. A lack of deep sleep is closely correlated to disorders like chronic fatigue and narcolepsy.
    If you’ve seen commercials for numerous “sleep aids”, you may have been presented with FALSE information about sleep and the REM stage of sleep. One commercial actually declared that REM was the most restful stage of sleep. This is absolutely FALSE! NEVER trust the “facts” provided by a commercial! As a side note, almost no sleep aid can assist in acquiring delta sleep. In fact, most sleep aids (and many other chemicals we ingest for various reasons, over the counter and prescription) are harmful to the acquisition and maintenance of deep sleep; this includes every antidepressant and most other psychiatric drugs. The worse your sleep quality, the more mood problems you will have. This is one of many reasons that long-term usage of antidepressant drugs is more likley to be problematic than short-term usage. The only compounds known to have some positive, if limited, impact on deep sleep are GABAs and sodium oxybate (the sodium salt of GHB), with both having considerable adverse effects of their own and being heavily regulated.
