      In general this seemed kinda odd.
      The whole kid explanation didn't feel like an explanation at all. Kid knew some basic stuff and had some questions, then the guy's like "yo how do dolphins sleep, do you wanna know, do you?".
      If someone can write down 3 short sentences and that encompasses all the discussion got you, then that's a waste of time, even for the kid.

      It’s something I’m learning over the course of completing my PhD. Once you get to a certain level of understanding of a subject, it becomes harder to “dumb down” explanations because you become so accustomed to certain terminologies etc. You spend all day thinking about this subject at a level of such complexity that trying to explain the basics (or, god forbid, those aforementioned complexities) in layman’s terms is really daunting. Unless you’re experienced in education. That’s probs why teaching STEM subjects is a whole degree field in itself.

      @@nairabittencourt6125 I don’t really think that’s the case. Someone can absolutely be an expert, a master of their field, but simply lack the communication skills to explain the subject at a level that people uneducated in that subject can understand. It doesn’t mean they’re less knowledgeable or experienced, just that they can’t really relay that knowledge in a digestible way for normal people. Not everyone can.

    It's interesting. I have heard that you will go through periods of being tired, which I personally agree with. Once you surpass a level of being very tired, you will become less tired and then go through the cycle without sleeping. Also that naps can be useful, but not long naps. Because apparently catching up on sleep is actually something we can do. If we got less sleep the previous night, we can sleep more to :catch up"

    I wish that they talked about what is up with polyphasic sleep, and why it's possible to hop directly into REM sleep when you are sleep deprived - because this implies that REM sleep is the most useful phase. SInce the giraffe only sleeps for 30 mins, it would be interesting to know if those 30 mins are REM sleep - there is not a lot of time for cycles like ours, right? Also there are people who did polyphasic sleep combined with a good diet/nutrition, especially with lots of antioxidants. These are basically hints that sleep phases other than REM (which only adds up to about an hour of a normal sleep night) are "useless" and that you could get a lot more time out of your day if you trained yourself to fall right into REM - but this needs to be done with proper supply of antioxidants. Wish this was somehow talked about in this series.

      hmm, i know this is a late comment, but I just wanted to give my opinion as a psychology student in high school.
      I don't necessarily agree with your statement that all phases other than REM are 'useless'. IF that WAS the case, REM WOULD take up 100% of the sleep cycle, which, its not. REM only makes up roughly 20-25% of sleep, whereas NREM makes up 70-75%. If the body didn't need it, why would it do it? I understand that a healthy individual with a 'good diet/nutrition' would have more efficient types of sleep, but I don't think it would change to that drastic of a degree where NREM is NOT needed. And also, I would like to completely reject your statement that 'other sleep cycles' as you mention, which can only be assumed as NREM, make up only 'an hour of normal sleep night'? that's completely wrong. If we sleep 8 hours, and NREM makes up 75 percent, that's 6 hours.
      Another point to kind of address, 'generally', NREM is commonly associated with the restorative effects on the body (physiological aspects), whereas REM is associated with the restoration of the brain (psychological factors), and thus both stages of sleep are crucial for restoration (according to most theories).

    I understood almost everything in this video! This makes feel a bit better after watching the "Musician Explains Harmony" video where I was not quite at the college level. Music, in particular singing, is my favorite pastime, but this is more tailored to my education (BS in psychology, MS in neuroscience, and MPH in biostatistics). Learning how different types of animals sleep was really cool too.
