- Hi, I'm Dr. Jeffrey Iliff, a sleep researcher.
2
Today, we're going to be answering your questions on Twitter.
3
This is SHHH!
4
This is sleep support.
5
@Cattywampus asks, "It's 5 :00 AM.
6
I can't sleep.
7
I'm eating summer sausage.
8
What is time?
9
What are circadian rhythms?" Well, I don't know why you're eating summer sausage at 5 :00 AM.
10
What are circadian rhythms?
11
I can answer that.
12
Circadian rhythm is the drive in your body that entrains all of its functions to the 24 -hour light cycle.
13
So there's a part of your brain called the super charismatic nucleus that's the master pacemaker for the circadian rhythm.
14
is it cues off of the light -dark cycle, so sunrise and sunset, to get your brain, and actually the rest of your body,
15
ready to rest at night and ready to act during the day.
16
@RGWill _ asks, "Why do we take naps and wake up more tired?" Oh, that's a good question.
17
Because there's good napping and there's bad napping.
18
When you wake up after a nap and you feel like you just got hit by a truck, it's because what has happened is you started to build what's called sleep inertia.
19
So once you start sleeping, after you get past a certain point, your brain gets into the mode that thinks,
20
"Oh, we're doing this for the next eight hours." And if you interrupt it after it's gotten past that point, it's sort of a rude awakening.
21
And that's why you feel like you're not going to be able to sleep feel super groggy after a long nap.
22
That's why when you nap, you should actually nap either a very short nap, maybe 20 or 30 minutes, or 90 minutes, so setting an alarm for a 90 minute nap.
23
A 90 minute nap is enough time for you to go through an entire sleep cycle, so going through shallow sleep to deep sleep, up to REM, but only once.
24
Not long enough for you to build a lot of sleep inertia, but enough time for you to actually get some of the benefits of sleeping.
25
@punkassbookjoke says, "Everybody talking about their weird COVID dreams and I'm over here like, LOL, what is REM sleep?" These are actually EEG caps
26
that measure your what's going on inside your brain so that we can see not just whether you're asleep, but what stages of sleep you happen to be in.
27
So rapid eye movement sleep is the phase of sleep connected with dreams.
28
It has a couple of weird features to it.
29
So in one of the things is if we record the electrical activity happening in your brain, it actually looks a lot like an awake brain.
30
In fact, one of the only ways that you can do it, that we can tell that you're in REM sleep
31
and not awake is one of these electrodes here actually connects to the muscles on your face.
32
And so we can actually detect the tension or the absence of tension in your face muscles.
33
And that's how we know you're in REM sleep, not just laying there awake.
34
So during REM sleep, what's happening is your brain is working to consolidate the memories
35
that you form through the course of the day, helping to harden those memories into your long -term memory.
36
Things that are powerful, things that are fearful, things that are scary, of the substance of our dreams.
37
That's part of the way that you encode dreams is with fear and pain and emotion.
38
So it's probably no wonder that we're all having the same weird COVID dream.
39
At Rusty Kovias, how will your brain get rid of waste?
40
It isn't sent back into the body to be processed by the organs.
41
How does your sleep play a role in it?
42
This is a really interesting question.
43
It's actually the subject that my lab studies.
44
So your brain is very different from the rest of the body in the way that it manages the waste.
45
So the brain sits in a pool of water called cerebral spinal fluid.
46
And that water helps to cushion the brain from blows that happen.
47
And it actually helps the brain, which has the kind of the consistency of room temperature butter.
48
It helps it to not, you know, slouch under its own own way.
49
During the daytime, the spaces between the brain cells, which are like the pores of this sponge, are actually pretty small and pretty narrow.
50
So as a result, the water that's outside the brain sort of sits on the outside.
51
But when you go to sleep, the situation completely changes.
52
And the spaces between the brain cells open up,
53
allowing the water that's on the outside of the brain to actually wash into and through the spaces between the brain cells,
54
collecting up the waste that's accumulated through the course of the waking And then this waste -laden fluid,
55
like ammonia that's produced, washes out of the brain, out into the fluid around the brain,
56
and then those lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain collect it up and eventually dump it back into the blood.
57
It's like brainwashing, but without being an occult.
58
@kbrabaham21 asks, "Have you ever wondered what your brain actually looks like when you sleep?
59
Like, I wonder if my neurons are really just beating the snot out of each other, and my dreams are the real reason I'm losing brain cells." I don't think dreams are the reason you're losing brain cells.
60
You can actually see your brain when it's sleeping.
61
You can see it by MRI.
62
Sometimes you can see it during neurosurgical procedures.
63
The thing about the brain that's really striking is the way that it pulsates.
64
mass of tissue and blood.
65
So you see it pulsating with the heart rate, and you see it pulsating and swelling with the respiratory cycle.
66
And there's actually these even low frequency oscillations that happen as blood vessels in the brain dilate and contract.
67
Those pulsations are actually part of the process driving the clearance of waste into and out of the brain.
68
At FX Mish asks, "Does anyone that can lucid dream have any tips on how to do it?"
69
is being aware of the fact that you're dreaming when you are, so that you can control what's happening around you.
70
It's a little fringy, but there's actually a little bit of research on the subject.
71
So there's some data that suggests that you can use transcranial electrical stimulation.
72
So stimulating your brain with electricity at certain frequencies can increase the likelihood that a person who normally can't lucid dream
73
actually can be able to.
74
There's also some approaches in sleeping itself that seems to increase people's ability to lucid dream.
75
You set an alarm for five hours after you go to sleep and then wake up.
76
Right after you wake up, you think to yourself, "I'm going to be dreaming.
77
I want to wake up during my dream." Repeat
78
that to yourself again and again and again as you go back to sleep. to a thousand percent.
79
So it may be either through stimulation or maybe through some cognitive tricks, you can actually increase your chances of being able to lucid dream.
80
Caramel Cookie asks, "So is like sleepwalking a real thing?" Yes, sleepwalking is a real thing.
81
So sleepwalking is more common in kids and in adolescence.
82
It tends to disappear as people move through adolescence into adulthood.
83
The interesting thing about sleepwalking is that your brain is asleep and yet you can accomplish very complicated tasks.
84
So when you're sleeping, your brain is supposed to be a little bit disconnected from your awareness
85
and it's supposed to be disconnected from how your body moves.
86
Sometimes those connections, they can get opened or they can get closed at the wrong time.
87
So you see that there's a lot of things things like sleep talking or sleep moaning.
88
You see people who have something called REM sleep behavior disorder, which is where you actually act out the things that are happening in your dreams, sometimes even violently, sometimes injuring your bed partner.
89
So there's a bunch of different types of things, some of them interesting, some of them a little scary, that can happen when the process is governing sleep,
90
and your body become misaligned.
91
@swankfarm asks, "How many types of sleep do we have?" You actually see
92
that your brain is doing a couple of distinct things through the course of the night.
93
One set of that is called REM sleep, or rapid eye movement sleep, and that's the part of sleep that's most associated with dreaming.
94
There's also non -REM sleep.
95
Non -REM sleep sort of breaks into three different categories.
96
There's N1, N2, and N3.
97
N1 is the shallowest type of sleep, so that's maybe the first 10 minutes after you first fall asleep.
98
sort of most awake, it's easy to sort of pop back up awake.
99
N2 sleep is sort of the mid layer on your way to deep sleep.
100
During that phase, you're a little deeper in, and your body starts to actually do some funny things.
101
So that's when sometimes people will twitch and move a little bit during N2 sleep.
102
The deepest sleep is called N3 sleep, or slow wave sleep.
103
And during that time, if we record what's happening in your brain, your brain is actually oscillating between states where everything's on and everything's off.
104
And it's doing those oscillations about one every second.
105
Those are called slow oscillations. of sleep.
106
And then you'll come back up into REM sleep where you'll typically do dreaming.
107
One of those cycles is about 90 minutes or so.
108
During the course of the night you go through several of those cycles, maybe three or five of them.
109
Later on in the night there's less slow -wave sleep and more REM, which is one of the reasons why maybe we remember the dreams that we're having late in the night better.
110
@moneyajer asks, "What is sleep apnea?" I would have asked Google, but I prefer a more simple answer.
111
Sleep apnea is a condition where you stop breathing several times through the course of the night.
112
So it can actually be a physical obstruction to your airway that keeps you from sleeping.
113
Regardless of the cause, the result's bad.
114
Your brain is incredibly active.
115
So the neurons in your brain are firing trillions and trillions of times a second.
116
And all of that activity takes a huge amount of oxygen and glucose and energy to keep it going.
117
during the night, you're depriving your brain for just a little
118
while of the energy that it needs and of the oxygen that it needs.
119
And it isn't until your brain is screaming for more oxygen that you actually gasp yourself away.
120
And as you add that up over the course of many nights, over weeks and months and years, the added stress that that puts on not just your brain
121
but actually your whole body can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease like heart attacks and strokes, diabetes.
122
The good news is that sleep apnea, much of
123
which is basically just a mask that goes over your face
124
and it uses a little pump to sort of force air in and out.
125
And the forcing that air in
126
and out of your lungs helps to keep your airway open and keep you from stopping breathing during the night.
127
The bad news is, Many more of us actually have sleep apnea than know it.
128
What does it look like?
129
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
130
Well, common symptoms include heavy snoring, waking up gasping.
131
If that sounds like you, it might be worth getting checked out with your physician.
132
Athalia Clara asks, "What causes insomnia?
133
Because I literally cannot go to sleep at a decent time, no matter how tired I am.
134
Upside down smiley, upside down smiley, upside down smiley." Well, insomnia is pretty common.
135
So it's not being able to either go to sleep or it's not being able to stay asleep once you are asleep.
136
There are genetic causes of insomnia.
137
Sleep apnea can cause insomnia.
138
that happens all the time.
139
So things that are important for sleep hygiene include going to sleep at the same time every day, and waking up at the same time every day,
140
so that your body can entrain to a certain rhythm that can become predictable.
141
It's staying off the screens for an hour before you go to bed.
142
It's sleeping in a cool, dark room where that isn't also your office, so that you can sort of focus in on the process of either having sex or going to sleep,
143
which is really the only two things you should be doing in your bedroom.
144
@mashsalalo asks, "What causes sleep paralysis?" Had it twice last night, scream emoji.
145
That sounds like kind of a rough night.
146
Sleep paralysis is when you're laying in bed, you're sort of coming out of sleep, or sometimes it's when you're going into sleep, you're aware of your environment around you,
147
you perceive what's happening, but you can't move the rest of your body, you're sort of paralyzed.
148
And sometimes it can be accompanied by visual or auditory hallucinations, or feelings of fear, or terror, or even feelings of suffocation.
149
So it can be completely terrifying.
150
that it throws so that all the activity happening in your brain
151
while you're dreaming or during your REM sleep doesn't cause you to act out your actions in the world around you.
152
In sleep paralysis, those disconnect switches seem to get a little jumbled up
153
so that the switch that disconnects you from awareness of your environment sort of gets opened
154
so you become aware even while the switch disconnecting you from your body is still closed.
155
If we do an EEG study in people who are having sleep paralysis episodes, we actually see that seem to be in REM sleep.
156
So even though while you're aware of what's around you, your brain is still dreaming and your body still thinks you're asleep, it's just that you're stuck feeling awake.
157
@yatousabeswho asks, "How do sleeping pills work?" It depends a little bit on the sleeping pills that you're talking about.
158
So let's start with the simpler ones.
159
So a lot of people take melatonin to help them sleep.
160
Well, melatonin is actually a naturally occurring molecule in your body that is part of how the body induces drowsiness.
161
It's actually a part of the circadian sleep drive to help sort of prime the brain to get ready to sleep.
162
Other commonly used sleep medications include drugs Ambien, which is a commonly used one,
163
and also benzodiazepines, which are sort of anti -anxiety medications that can be used sometimes to help with sleep.
164
Those drugs are very powerful drugs.
165
They're available only by prescription.
166
They have the potential for forming addiction and for habit forming, so they need to be used under the supervision of a physician.
167
They work by targeting a neurotransmitter system in the brain, which dampens down neural activity and to reduce
168
Many of the sleep medications don't produce the same type of natural cycling of sleep that your brain wants.
169
So if you suffer from an insomnia, or if you have other sleep issues, other approaches like improving your sleep habits, or even cognitive behavioral therapy,
170
can be actually more helpful in helping your brain to sleep naturally than trying to accomplish that with a drug.
171
@talia _galasco asks, "Is it really true that you can never catch up on sleep?
172
If yes, I'm actually so fucked." Well, you kind of are.
173
The sleep that you lose is sort of gone forever.
174
And many of the benefits of that sleep, whether that's memory consolidation or whether that's the rejuvenation that happens in the brain, you sort of miss the boat.
175
But there is something that builds up the longer your sleep and the less sleep that you get that's called sleep debt.
176
And what sleep debt is, is the drive to sleep more that builds through the course of the day and it builds with sleep restriction.
177
paid off.
178
So there is a sense in which you can catch up on sleep.
179
An interesting study that was measuring waste clearance out of the brain showed that if a person was kept up all night, the slowing of brain clearance that happens in a person who stays up all night,
180
actually it took seven days for it to catch up.
181
So even the second day after the sleep deprivation, it hadn't even caught up.
182
So you don't necessarily catch up on lost sleep within a day or two.
183
It may take much longer.
184
@furlingbird asks, "How long does coffee affect your sleep system?" The answer is that it's longer than most people think.
185
So the active ingredient in coffee is caffeine, which targets a receptor in the brain that helps to turn off neurons.
186
And so by blocking that receptor, it turns on neurons.
187
That's how coffee has its main effect on you being awake.
188
Now the half -life of coffee in the blood is between four and six hours, which means it takes the better part of half a day for it to clear out of your body.
189
So if you want to not have caffeine influencing your sleep when you go to bed,
190
you probably need to be stopping drinking caffeinated coffee or other drinks like Monster or these other energy drinks.
191
One of the things that caffeine does is it sort of keeps your brain aroused.
192
It keeps your brain awake.
193
Maybe not all the way awake.
194
So you might be skimming through the shallow parts of the shallow phases of sleep
195
and not getting into those really deep phases of sleep that are necessary for brain health.
196
@Lindsaychat asks, "Would love to get your tips on how to handle jet lag.
197
What do you find effective?" One approach is ahead of your trip, if you can do this, if your schedule allows you,
198
you can start moving your sleep -wake cycle back an hour a day so that by the time you leave, you're within an hour or two of your target time zone.
199
but the good news is by the time you get into Europe, jet lag will be smaller.
200
At that Juan Pablo, how do you track your sleep?
201
Of course, most of us don't have EEG systems in your house, unless you're some kind of weirdo.
202
So most of us use an approach called actigraphy to measure our sleep.
203
And so that's like your Apple Watch or a Fitbit.
204
And what that does is it's measuring your movement and inferring from your motion.
205
It's good at detecting when you're in bed, when you're asleep.
206
or your Fitbit tells you, well, I had this much deep sleep, Maybe you did, maybe you didn't.
207
But in terms of knowing how much sleep you're getting, which is probably the more important thing, it's actually pretty good for that.
208
@bickey84 asks, "Ran on four hours of sleep, going to sleep to wake up in two hours.
209
Are there negative effects of lack of sleep?
210
Was that a dancing bear?" It probably wasn't a dancing bear, that was probably the visual hallucinations from you not sleeping enough.
211
The human brain needs seven to nine hours of sleep for adults.
212
Kids need more, teenagers, they seem to need a lot more.
213
If you don't get enough sleep, if you go a night without sleep,
214
we can actually measure deficits speed and in your decision making.
215
So your lack of sleep, you know that it affects how you feel today and tomorrow, but there's emerging data that suggests that long -term lack of sleep
216
or long -term poor sleep may actually be setting the stage for chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease or even cancers.
217
Some pretty recent data suggests that actually poor sleep, especially in midlife, may be setting the stage for risk for developing dementia later on in life in your 60s,
218
70s, and the mind that you get to have in 20 or 30 years.
219
@lastmoonicorn asks, "If dreams are your brain trying to sort out memories and information while you sleep, or work through general data, what is my brain doing?
220
Why is it creating places I totally forget when I wake up, but in my dreams it's like I have my own separate memory?"
221
So all of us have sort of these uncanny dreams that are weird mishmatches of beluga whales, you know, Disneyland vacations, and our mother -in -law.
222
So what's going on there?
223
to try to generate new insights.
224
And that maybe it's that sort of novel recombination process is where human creativity and maybe even human inspiration comes from.
225
In terms of why you don't remember it, maybe it's a little bit like your laptop, the way that it does disk maintenance during the night.
226
So while it's doing its defragmentation, the screen's off, the keys aren't lit.
227
But it's because that's something that's for the computer.
228
It's not for you, the user.
229
It's not for the outside world.
230
@anamnesis80 says, "You know what bugs me? to sleep.
231
I mean, I know the biology behind it, but why?
232
What's the purpose of sleep?
233
I have to say that you probably don't know the biology behind sleep if you're asking this question.
234
But you shouldn't feel bad because the reality is we really don't understand completely why it is that we sleep.
235
We have some hints.
236
So at a cellular level, though, we see that some interesting things are happening.
237
So the brain is made up of trillions of connections between all the nerve cells.
238
Those connections are your emotions.
239
They're your thoughts.
240
They're your memories.
241
And you're making new connections constantly.
242
But some of those connections are important.
243
The connections like, how do I get away from a saber -toothed tiger?
244
less important, like the 19th cat video that you watched on YouTube last night.
245
And so, if your brain kept all the connections every single day, it would become this clogged up rat's nest of information
246
and connections that you'd never be able to think your way through anything.
247
So during sleep, connections that are important, the ones that are connected to emotions or that are powerful, those actually firm up.
248
And the ones that are less important, the weak ones, actually get trimmed away.
249
There's actually cells in your brain that eat the extra connections while you're asleep.
250
And so if you don't sleep, those processes firming up and of pruning don't get to happen, which is why we think it has such an important role in memory.
251
Alright, so those are all the questions for today.
252
There are some really awesome ones out there.
253
The big takeaway is your brain needs sleep to be healthy and it wants to sleep.
254
Our job as sleepers is to try to get out of the way, try to set the stage for it to do the thing that it wants to do.
255

이 비디오는 누구를 위한 건가요?
영어 회화 연습을 하며 일상 대화에서 자주 쓰이는 표현과 생활 관련 지식을 함께 배우고 싶은 중급 이상 학습자에게 적합합니다. 수면 전문가와의 대화를 통해 자연스러운 발음, 구어체 표현을 익히고, 쉐도잉(shadow speech) 연습에 좋은 자료로 사용할 수 있습니다.
빼놓을 수 없는 단어와 관용구
- circadian rhythm: 24시간 주기의 생체 리듬 (예: "Circadian rhythm helps regulate sleep-wake cycles.")
- sleep inertia: 잠에서 깨어났을 때 느끼는 무겁고 혼란스러운 상태 (예: "Long naps can cause sleep inertia.")
- REM sleep: 렘 수면 (꿈이 많이 나타나는 수면 단계, "REM sleep is important for memory consolidation.")
- rude awakening: 갑작스럽고 불쾌한 깨움 (예: "Waking up during deep sleep is a rude awakening.")

영어 발음 교정에 초점을 맞출 때, 이 비디오의 스피커는 자연스러운 연음과 강세를 잘 보여줍니다. 특히 "circadian rhythm"에서 "ci"는 /s/로 발음하고, "rhythm"은 /rɪðəm/으로 끝나는 점에 주의하세요. "REM sleep"은 "렘 슬립"이 아니라 /ɑːr iː ɛm slip/로 발음합니다. 쉐도잉 연습 시, 스피커의 말속도와 억양을 따라하되, "What is time? What are circadian rhythms?"와 같은 질문의 강세를 살려 말하는 것이 중요합니다. 또한 "super charismatic nucleus"와 같은 긴 단어도 부드럽게 연결하여 발음하는 연습을 하세요. 이를 통해 영어 발음 뿐만 아니라 회화의 자연스러움도 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
