---------------------
A good night's sleep is anything but quiet: a myriad of processes occupy our brains, crucial for every aspect of our waking lives. Our increased understanding of the neuroscience of sleep - that sleep may not affect the brain in its entirety - provides a window into the human experiences of sleep deprivation, lucid dreaming, spiritual visitations and a range of clinical sleep disorders, such as insomnia, dream enactment and sleep paralysis.

Fascinating presentation.
When it comes to the correlations with sleep disturbances and neurodegenerative stuff, I always have a bit of doubt if we are looking at it wrong, a bit too much like a physician treating the symptom.
what if parkinsons wasn’t the problem and more of a result from the sleep disturbances over time rewiring your brain inadequately and just switching on the “weaker connections” button.
Very interesting and informative. More lectures like this please.
Fantastic lecture, very informative.
The "First Night" effect probably explains why on-site on-call shifts can be so draining.
A very interesting lecture, thank you. The section regarding hypocretin, orexin and the H1N1 virus were very very intriguing indeed.

Does the melatonin increase in mitochondria of cells located at some depth beneath the skin, when near infrared light is allowed on the skin, normalize mitochondria function? In addition to letting skin exposure appropriately occur enough to increase vitamin D3, how important is exposure to NIR spectrum of light, and can this increase in melatonin help in getting better sleep?
THE BEST
I thought my soul was going afk for bathroom breaks.
Tried to watch to the end but I fell asleep.
You've found the cure for insomnia!
