What does it feel like to die?
2
It's a question that many are curious, if not a little scared about, but scientists are now closer than ever to understanding what actually happens while you're dying.
3
Recently, researchers studied the brains and bodies of dying people to gain new insight into what it feels like as you die.
4
First up, relaxation.
5
A recent meta -analysis found
6
that most people in the Western world will die in medical
7
institutions where the first sign of death is a loss of hunger and thirst.
8
Physicians call this the beginning of active dying
9
and it is caused by an intense feeling of relaxation where
10
you will likely only be capable of handling small spoonfuls of food and water.
11
Step 2 of death: extreme fatigue and unconsciousness.
12
One study found that 72 % of patients in this phase pre -death dreams involving reuniting with people who had already died,
13
59 % said that they dreamed about getting ready to travel somewhere, and 28 % dreamed of meaningful experiences from their past.
14
These pre -death dreams are happening because at this time you are mostly asleep and even dipping into unconsciousness.
15
This means that if someone tries to physically wake you up, nothing will happen.
16
The thing is, studies of unconscious patients show that when they did eventually wake up from being unconscious, they thought they were only just asleep.
17
Essentially, you are not going to be aware of going in and out of consciousness.
18
Some reports say that this stage of dying feels a bit like
19
when you can't get out of bed from an intense cold or flu, but when you are dying, the sleep is no longer rejuvenating and the fatigue is consistent.
20
Because at times you are now unconscious, it's harder to plan for oral medications.
21
So at this point, you might be hooked up to syringe pumps
22
or suppositories in order to get oral medications or dying aids before death.
23
light.
24
At this point, studies show that your heart will beat less forcefully, your blood pressure will fall, and your organs, including your brain, will function less.
25
Essentially, your brain is trying to conserve energy as it slowly dies, and this causes your brain to lose the power of inhibition.
26
You may have heard people talking about seeing the light or moving towards the light during near -death experiences.
27
Brain studies on rats show that a dying brain's lack of inhibition causes the visual as well,
28
which may explain why many people report this phenomenon of seeing light as their brain begins to die.
29
Step four of death: Scary Breathing.
30
Known as the death rattle, an unconscious person's breathing still follows the automatic patterns generated by the respiratory system of their brain.
31
But they don't have proper awareness of their mouth and throat, so saliva builds up.
32
The saliva in the back of the throat, mixed with the automatic quick breaths, creates loud breathing noises that many people will observe as disturbing,
33
but it's important to note that the person dying is actually feeling no distress.
34
In fact, the reason that this is happening to the dying person is because physiologically they are so relaxed.
35
Step five of death: brain surging.
36
A 2013 study on rat brains dying from cardiac arrest found
37
that specific brain regions surged with synchronized low gamma waves more coherent than when the rats were alive
38
brain waves were similar to when rats were engaged in high -level cognitive activity.
39
This, of course, got researchers interested in what's happening to our brains as we die as well.
40
In humans, a study on 567 dying men and women had their brains scanned as they were being resuscitated with CPR.
41
It turns out that like the rats, the brains fired in intense ways,
42
and those who survived the CPR reported events with no pain or distress,
43
a meaningful evaluation of their life, and assessing their own actions towards others throughout their life.
44
This is again all likely linked to the disinhibition of our brain as we die.
45
It was also found that this disinhibition caused the part of the brain involved in memory to light up, allowing some people to access stored memories,
46
while other patients, when resuscitated, couldn't remember anything that had just happened to them, even though brain scans in uninhibited, active ways.
47
Some of these patients reported knowing that they were dying, but also that they were going towards a place that felt like home.
48
One other study of a man's brain while dying found
49
that his brain activation was similar to people who were on the psychedelic drug DMT.
50
But more recent studies found resuscitated dying people reported that what they had experienced right before death felt different than hallucinations, illusions, or even dreams.
51
emotions.
52
We actually did a whole podcast on the cognitive side of dying and people's experiences and advice for death.
53
Link here on screen and in the description over on our podcast channel side though.
54
I think about dying all the time.
55
That's why I made this video.
56
Thank you so much for watching and I said peace.

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: surge /sɝd͡ʒ/, fatigue /fəˈtiːɡ/, conserve /kənˈsɜː(ɹ)v/, synchronize /ˈsɪŋ.kɹə.naɪːz/, syringe /səˈɹɪnd͡ʒ/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: relaxation /rᵻˌlækˈseɪ.ʃən/, scan /skæn/, rattle /ˈɹæ.təl/, gamma /ˈɡæ.mə/, activation /ˌæktəˈveɪʃən/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: fatigue /fəˈtiːɡ/, gamma /ˈɡæ.mə/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als unconscious, resuscitate, inhibition.
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
