  • @julianp3603
    @julianp3603 7 лет назад +4

    I love this video, it made a lot of sense to me. I think the key here is: Think of the tragic event in your life which while you're awake and you think about it makes you extremely upset. If this event makes you un easy, anxious, triggered etc.. then this is the event you'd want to disassociate with our emotions. These overwhelming emotions that cause us harm. So if in that event you had for example a film of it, or recording. Set it to be played at a certain time after you sleep or ask someone to play it for you about 2 hours after you go to sleep. Not too loud so it won't wake you I believe but loud enough so that your subconscious can pick it up. This is how I perceive it to work from watching this video good luck to all!

  • @she6367
    @she6367 6 лет назад +12

    For me it's the opposite, I suffer from hypersomnia. And it's really awful. There are people who suffer from hypersomnia who are much worse than me, but I can sleep on vacation for 17 hours and still feel tired. I also get a horrible headache from it and can't concentrate or think properly. And I've lost the ability to wake up on my own despite having multiple alarms, I can just walk to the other side of the room turn it down and go back to sleep. Often times, I don't want to sleep but still feel sleepy. I wish I could get rid of this condition.

      @windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 4 года назад +1

      Are you mouth breathing? Try a little piece of tape on the middle your lips. You could breathe out the side if you were congested.
      I'm in the headache club, too. I've had that decrease with the bit of tape. Sleep on your side. Do you have sleep apnea? Where you wake up gasping?
      Eat for the last time in the afternoon. Skip dinner.
      Are you ADD? Coffee might make you tired if so.

  • @alisats5693

    I understand that improvement of traumatic memories. It seems that if you go or the moment of trauma by writing down the memory of it's triggers it is much easier to overcome than if you squelch or try to suppress the memories, which just come back in some tortured, altered form.

    I noticed several years ago that I would make significant improvements overnight. I'd practice and practice something and not get much better during the day. Like juggling or playing piano. I could practice for several hours and slowly get a little bit better, but once awakening the next day I would be far better and make similarly small improvement that day, and then be much better after sleeping. I noticed this as a teenager. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

  • @thibod07
    @thibod07 6 лет назад +3

    This was really an eyes opening speech. I simply enjoy sleeping as when I wake up I always feel refresh and usually my problems are simpler when I wake up. It is nice to ear that I am considered normal according to here standard. My secret is no medications and no attempts to try improving artificially what is going on for me. It is nice to see how far the research on sleeps has advanced. I strongly believe that helping people having sleeping disorders regaining the pleasure to sleep should be the focus for now. This is already plenty which can do so much good. The cleanup of toxines occurring only while sleeping seem so important as there is so much toxins created by the addictive processed food that we keep eating. Thank you for sharing. Next time I sleep I will filter out some of my negative attitude on that topic which make me believe that some companies will try to prematurely sell products based on pseudo science on the topic. Thank you for sharing and have a pleasant day.

    Careful how you control your mind. It can be powerful, and it can help you to adapt to what's actually happening when your body/brain doesn't quite understand; but be sure to remember that your body does things for a reason. Sometimes, something you think is pointless could be saving your life. But sometimes, your brain reacts to a situation that it misunderstood to be very different. Be cautious, but not afraid.

    Making this simple for my dummies -
    If we were cars. Sleep will be our three month monthly servicing (tire rotation, oil change, tune up, liquid flush/topoff). 1
    If we were phones. Sleep will be daily maintenance (charging, system cleanse, software updates).

    I jumped of my chair in excited way(I related something to myself at 14:25 ) so we dissociate emotions from that memory and that's why a great urge arises inside me even in daytime(because I sleep very rarely at daytime) when something happens to me which didn't made me happy.

  • @eugeniojimenez4140
    @eugeniojimenez4140 6 лет назад +3

    Excellent video! Dr. Lewis clearly explains how learning can occur during the evening. The video helps me understand from a scientific standpoint how a musician can somehow play an instrument without constantly looking at the piano keyboard or the guitar neck. The brain needs time to learn, and it will..... as long as we allow our brains to be connected with content knowledge during the day and to "make progress" during our sleep. When acquiring knowledge, progress is a sequential process of days and nights. Therefore, time is a crucial factor in learning processes. Dr. Lewis, thank you for an excellent video. Thank you, TED.

    I liked this talk , I know how important is sleeping , its a clear concept of being productive every day, when we talk about of leadership generaly we talk about of motivation, and energy etc, but sleeping plays an important part on it.
    Talking about this talk it was good , she gave it to us like a teacher in school, she was funny on certaint part of the talk, the funiest part was "el demonio" who was playing music. The shotting sound was a bad example. at the end of this talk I gave her 8/10. Nice.

This is great information and I enjoyed the video, but at the end, I was expecting maybe, - If you place metronome at X-Y bpm, it will improve memory in waking moments or playing certain videos from the past will help or hurt your sleep in this way. Again, good video, but I don't feel like there was really a takeaway

And I'm writing about this problem and listening to "rain with occasional thunderstorm" sounds and going to turn it sound again at night.

      It doesn't require sleep, that also works if you just look at the work and then come back to it later. This is one of the reasons why it's such a good idea to take a look at the work as soon as you get it and solve all the ones you can.
      The brain has what some folks refer to as defuse mode where things like that get solved. I find that taking a walk often times gives me insights into problems I can't solve.

    I did see the descriptions of the recorded brain waves of a person at sleep very interesting. I do replay difficult situations in my dreams, I suppose trying to resolve the problems.

    This message is for Penny Lewis, as well as for other equally involved individuals - why does Penny Lewis is constantly trying to stretch her legs? Is this are the indications of her own disorder? or were those are side effects of her activity?

    Very cool talk! Thank you! My mother has cognitive impairment, and three of her brothers have Alzheimer's. None of them could ever sleep! Mom has sleep apnea, but won't use her CPAP machine. The cognitive impairment is crazy bad the less sleep she gets. You can't have a normal conversation with her. Luckily, she is able to sleep some of the time. Those days are so much better. I have been paying close attention to my sleep hygiene to keep my brain in the best shape possible. I want my brain to start my "old age days" in the best shape possible beforehand.

      What about nasal breathing only? I use a tiny piece of tape on my lips and sleep on my side. You can push up on your nose to open sinuses.
      I don't think tv and computers are good for sleep.
      Maybe better diet, fresh vegetables (cooked if you get upset stomach) w good olive oil. It should be expensive and have a distinct smell. Store it in darkness where it's cool; not the fridge. It won't hurt you if it's been there, it just gets lumpy.
      Look into things like the plant paradox. Jmo

    9:40 Interesting bit here; I've always suspected deep sleep/slow-wave sleep is responsible for memory consolidation and REM being responsible for more creative-associative kind of learning memory.

    Now that apple watches hold the capability to track sleep, we can build an app that would facilitate that metronome or sound (whatever it may be) using the watch or an IoT device.
    Could be a fairly simple API if someone built it out. I could def use that

    So, record sounds of your day (mic near the year), play it twice speed (16h awake, 8h sleep) =>
    1. Remember your day better
    2. Decrease bad afteraffects of the stresses
    3. Profit

    The Midnight Disease by O'Flaherty helped me. I have blood sugar problems. She doesn't mention that. I realized that it is important to get more sleep so I eat something before going to bed. Why no light yet sound cues?

    Sleep is a complicated subject, and different people have different needs that will affect sleep health(eg,types of food, exorcise, social interaction)
    There are foods that you would never think interact with sleep that do. (apples may keep you up at night, and brazil nuts might help you stay asleep because of the magnesium, which can regulate how long u stay asleep)
    Some people with certain mental conditions, or body chemistry could actually do with a half a cup of coffee before bed
    ...believe it or not, they just need a little help concentrating on sleeping :p
    Exercise=important but once again varies to the individual. Some people need to jog before bed, others it will keep them up.
    Mental exercise is very important, I feel like many people may overlook this. Does your mind race right before you go to sleep keeping you up? maybe you work someplace very boring, or an injury or event has displaced you from your everyday routine.
    Your brain needs exercise just as the body does, consider taking up a challenging hobby, or game you enjoy and make a habit of it.
    I have had problems with sleep and sometimes still do, hopefully this will be helpful.

    I sleep 4-5 hours a night. That's my natural pattern. For the last 30 years. I am in the high band of creativity. I am good at processing. problem solving and strategic thinking. I feel energetic most days. This contradicts the science of sleep.

  • @digitalsoultech

    PRACTICAL TIP #2 - If you want to reduce the amount of sleep required, try the ancient indian practice called Yoga Nidra. Find a audio guided meditation session version of it and do it. It is similar to progressive muscle relaxation. When used properly you can replace 2 hours of lost sleep in 20 mins. Works for me. However, don't rely on it long term. You still need a day or two of solid 10 hour sleep.

    There is actually one animal that never sleeps. In fact, not only does this animal not sleep, but it may not even touch the ground for nearly a year at a time. Anyone who is familiar with sleep scientist Matt Walker may know which animal it is..
    It is a little bird called the Swift.
