  • There's nothing quite like a good night's sleep. What if technology could help us get more out of it? Dan Gartenberg is working on tech that stimulates deep sleep, the most regenerative stage which (among other wonderful things) might help us consolidate our memories and form our personalities. Find out more about how playing sounds that mirror brain waves during this stage might lead to deeper sleep -- and its potential benefits on our health, memory and ability to learn.

    Last summer I went for a big hike of 3 weeks. Just walking in nature, very limited if none access to internet for a few days or more, just walk all day, eat, set the tent, sleep and repeat. I had the greatest sleep of my life or at least since childhood and will definitely do it again in the future.

      💥 I had the most incredible night of sleep since my childhood, when I stayed for a week at a high mountain, where we stayed active all day long. I slept so wonderful that I woke up with the first rays of the sun, like a thousand years later. I didn't even know where I was. It's a gradual wake up. Só wonderful. I just woke up listening to the sounds of nature, birds and the tropical rainforest. It was amazing 🤩🤩🤩.

    Cons for poor sleep
    1:35 Make us make risky, brash decisions
    1:40 Reduces capacity for empathy (hence reduces emotional intelligence)
    1:50 Pain tolerance decreases
    2:12 3 stages of sleep-
    1. Light sleep - brain waves similar to awake time
    2. REM/Dreaming
    3. Deep Sleep - long burst brain waves different than awake time called "Delta waves". Marker of biological youth. You lose deep sleep as you age. Most regenerative stage of sleep.
    When don't get deep sleep - decreases ability to learn (inhibits conversion of working memory to long term memory)
    3:55 Hacks for deep sleep-
    1. Certain sounds at the right time in sleep. Also increases next day memory performance. Sounds with the same burst frequency as DELTA WAVES. Primes your mind to have more of these regenerative delta waves.

    Literally the first thing that came to mind with the sound was "waves breaking on the sand". Lol it's so interesting to see other people in comments who thought the same. I went to massage school and one thing we learned is that sounds of nature relax us. It's like a subconscious feeling that things are ok: waves, birds chirping, rain drops. It just goes to show u all should incorporate more nature in your life to get better sleep.

    I usually have 1.5-2 hours of deep sleep at best. Recently I made a goal to learn every day at least one hour of soft programming which really puts my mind to work in a way that never worked before. Long story short, I noticed my deep sleep started to be longer , jumped to 3-4 hours from the moment I started learning one hour per day. I think there is a connection between learning and deep sleep. Keep in mind I do my learning before sleeping time. I'm learning, then I have around 30 minutes of other activities like you tube, and then fall asleep.

    It sounded more to me like when a mother breathes upon or around her child as they both sleep together in the same bed, cuddled up. Nothing, I can imagine, can evoke this experience of a deep sleep in any human being like the 'replay' of the experience of being cuddle up with one's mom, the greatest place of safety and reassurance, as a baby again. It also explains why we are likely to get better sleep when sleeping next to someone who loves us and whom we love in return. I suppose it's something like two hearts beating together in a synchrony that is reflected by the sound of each other's breath as it bursts forth, intermittently, into the ear of the other person, evoking the peace and tranquility that can only be experienced under those circumstances. I believe that this sound, though not 'heard' or 'perceived' by the participants as such, produces the reinforcing burst or signal of waves that increase the manifestation of the Delta waves that are produced and recorded during the period of deep sleep.

    This could very well be an effective way to combat aging. When we get older it takes longer to heal from injuries but to actually manipulate sounds to get more out of deep sleep which we lose as we age could mean we can recover faster from injuries more efficiently. I'm loving this.

    ⚠️ Just a word of Caution ⚠️:
    the study of Gartenberg and similar ones played this noise at specific moments. Outside of a sleep lab, using audio stimulation without the proper equipment, you may do more damage than good.
    As he talked about in the TED talk these researchers try to play the noise right at the peak of the brainwaves measured by the EEG. If the same noise is played just a little bit off those natural peaks, it disrupted the sleep quality of the subjects studied. So just playing the sound is unlikely to help you sleep better, as your brain waves may peak at different times than the ones that were used to inspire the sound bite played here.
    For more examples look up an EEG graph of a deep sleep (stage 4) cycle. You’ll see that the deep sleep delta waves are not always consistently spaced. So one general sound is unlikely to work.
    Getting a full 5 to 6 sleep cycles, or 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep is still the best cure. If that doesn’t help seek out a specialised sleep professional.

    • @Carahloporra

  • @llicit1833
    @llicit1833 5 років тому +4

    I have the iOS app. Ideally the deep sleep sound would play when your phone or some connected device detected that you were entering the deep phase. As it is, the sound starts 2 hours from when you go to sleep - so plays just once as far as I can tell. Like other commenters on here I look forward to an Android version (bought a beat up early model iPhone just so I could use this app)

    • @stevejordan7275

      How does it tell when you're in delta phase sleep without being wired for EEG? I know my Connect app (Garmin tells me how much "deep" sleep I got, but I don't know how it knows.) Epistemology! (How do you know what you think you know?) *sigh* Oh, well.
      I made this as a kludge: ua-cam.com/video/5qER9PBkmRw/v-deo.html
      Half an hour to fall asleep, five minutes of fade-in, and then seven hours of the delta synch sound with fade out at end.
      It's not the optimal solution, but it's free!

  • @DeepSleepFR
    @DeepSleepFR 5 років тому +3

    It is really interesting, but it would be better to get more deep sleep as naturally as possible (without "wearing a small device").
    Imagine that you go camping, spend the night in a hotel or at a friend's house and that you forget to take your device. Or even worse, if it has been dropped or damaged and it does not work anymore. How to fall asleep ?
    Some light sleepers unfortunately suffer from insomnia. Actually, if you fall asleep in a totally silent environment, you might "wake up with a start" at the slightest sound. A temporary solution to this problem is to get used to sleeping with "white noise" (e.g. fan sound, waves sound, rain sound, ASMR, etc.)
    However, in most cases, the real source of sleep problems and insomia are concern, worries, stress or anxiety and find out and solve those problems may be THE solution.

      I used the earplugs the other night. Next morning I was late to work because I didn't hear my alarm clock go off. I had a good sleep though.
      On a serious note. I've been using earplugs for several years now (only on Friday and Saturday nights).
      It is also a cheap alternative for sensory deprivation. Put a sleeping mask and earplugs, you're good to go and let the natural rejuvenation begin.

    I think the answer is right under our noses, thank you for sharing this fascinating discovery. I think the solution is to sleep out side. It’s clear that those deep sleep sounds are similar to waves of the ocean and wind and maybe even some animals. We are all connected and we have so much trouble with a lot of things because we disconnected ourselves in so many ways. JUST SLEEP OUTSIDE. I think thats the answer.

      Life is too short to sleep more as well as life is not too long to sleep more.
      When sleeping less can shorten your life then sleeping more also can not lengthen your life to 200 years.
      Minimum of 6 hours of sleep and maximum of 7 hours of sleep is enough.
      If we sleep 8 hours daily,then we spend more than 20 years of our life sleeping.

      It sounds to me that you have your cortisol high. And have some adrenal fatigue (perhaps Thyroid imbalance too). So when you get too little sleep, you get wired - the adrenals kick in, which is not good in the long run, as it depletes your adrenal energy.

    Dear friends, if you want to get really deep sleep do just two things. Get rid of overthinking while you lye on the bed and rub the feet soles with mustard oil or any other as your choice. It's also superb if you massage your forehead, eyebrows, eyeballs (close eys first) ,and the area near your nose.
    Practice a few times and notice the change. You will get deeper sleep and the sleep duration will also be increased
