Hi everyone… apologies for the editing error at 03:58 , it should show a person sleeping on their left side not the right side as is shown in the clip. Not sure how that slipped by during the final review😐, but just wanted to clarify that here 🙏🏼 Hope the video was valuable to you 🙌🏽
Thank you for this informative video. It has all the qualities of a good video: no gobbledygook, concise, focuses on just what it promises, skillfully composed. 👌👋
That’s actually possible, because some people experience sleep anxiety becoming overly concerned about their sleep quality. The research and education that’s distributed around sleep is at the end of the day purely that - education. There is then a whole layer after that involving how all of this makes the person/patient feel. Education on sleep is because many people often sacrifice sleep as the first when things get busy, hence why helping people make well informed decisions with research and education is the health care industry’s duty.
I fall asleep in seconds but wake up several times at night and wake up very tired. If your video shows a solution for to better my sleep, then yes please. Note: I drink 1,5 l water a day, last drink 2,5 before bed, no caffeine and green thee not later than 3 pm, room is dark.
can you clarify please - when you said "left lateral" position the video showed someone sleeping on their right-hand side. which side should i sleep on?
Loll in a nutshell, yes 😂… there’s also been more studies coming out related to intermittent fasting and its benefits with the glymphatic system (more to follow on that) …a couple more studies on exercise as well
@MedyFlix I watched the flow and incomplete loop videos, I loved them. Great content. I loved that one too btw. I'm trying to find a hobby to convert in business, so these videos will help me for sure. So, if I may ask, any tips or explaination as to why a person hesitates to achieving goals or does not jump to opportunities? How can a person have growth mindset?
@yasinros426 sounds like you already on track with a growth mindset , the very fact that you’re taking action is fantastic! People hesitate due to some sort of internal conflict usually including fear of failure, self-doubt etc. Just get into the habit of embracing every challenge like a game, learn from failures, and focus on progress, not perfection.
I think more sleep does not necessarily mean better sleep. We know that a minimum of sleep is required, because otherwise people die. But, I would say that 5 or 6.hours of good quality sleep is enough, depending on the person. Studies show that.people who spend to much time in bed, have decreased life spans.
I do agree that the quality of sleep plays a bigger role, especially in accordance with sleep cycles within your sleep. I believe the number of hours came into play with regards to catering for the body taking that time to slip into the different sleep stages … I’m suspect the studies pertaining to increased time in bed also relates to people who live sedentary lifestyles , not sure about the confounders. Nonetheless, quality of sleep is crucial.
@MedyFlix I would be interested to find out if athletes require as much sleep. My guess is that normal people require naps. Depending on brain chemistry.
Great video, I am just curious... how exactly does my body flush out the toxic waste? From where does the cerebrosipnal fluid get into the space between neurons? And where does it take the waste to?
Great question! I realise that I didn’t get into the deep details of how it flushes things out (perhaps need to create a follow up video on this) The CSF is produced by the choroid plexus, a specialised group of small structures that are in the ventricles of our brain. Thereafter , during deep sleep, your neurons shrink in size to allow space for the csf to cover a larger surface area and flush out the toxins around the neurons. All of this fluid then flows and drains out of the brain into the large vein system, called the dural venous sinuses which drain out the fluid into the veins of your neck and gets circulated to the other waste clearance organs in the body. Recent studies are finding that a portion of the csf also drains into the lymphatic system as well Hope that helps!
@@MedyFlix This is amazing! I already sleep on my left side, drink a large glass of water before I go to bed and overall I manage to get 7 hours of sleep. Used to be less, but now I learnt how to categorize my day more efficiently. But here's the catch. My body cannot resorb the CSF properly. I was born in a hospital with 25 weeks, had a stroke when I was 1 week old but I made a full recovery. Until the nurses discovered I was developing a hydrocephalus. The pressure inside my brain was ever building ever so slightly, so they placed a shunt on my head to let the fluid out. They collected it with a syringe, every 15 minutes or so. When I was 9 months old, I got a permanent drain placed in my body. A shunt with a long tube attatched to it, which would end at my abdomen, coiled up to ensure that it would grow with me. At 12 years old, the shunt got renewed and a second tube was placed inside of me. Because I was going to make the growth spout. It still boggles my mind how that tube managed to fit. I have three scars marking the places the surgeons needed cut to get this tube placed. Those scars hurt like hell whenever the weather is changing. Having a scar on your head in this case makes it feel like someone is tearing your head open. At the age of 30, I am still alive and kicking. I was wondering how the resorption works with me, opposite to everyone else, but now that I am writing this, I understand that the CSF is simply "carried" from the brain towards the abdomen, where it *then* gets absorbed by the lymphatic system. Instead of the tissue surrounding the brain. Would you please correct me if I made an error of some sort in my explanation? It's just my reasoning off the top of my head, trying to understand my inner biology. Keep 'em coming! This is awe-inspiring! Cheers, Jules

OMG! Hardly do I get to sleep for even 5 hours properly, forget about deep sleep. Imagine the junk in my brain. But definitely, your videos are quite informative. Thanks!
Loll! Yea it’s such a struggle, I know! But hopefully you manage to get some full sleep cycles in that sleep to help rest properly …more on that to follow 👌🏽
Of course the thing I struggle with the most ends up being the cure - deep sleep. I don't know when was the last time I slept deeply. I wake up 3-4 times every night either to drink water, change position etc. and have to consciously put myself back to sleep again. I've even recently bought an "expert's pick" bed and pillows to help with my sleep but dololo difference. At this rate I may have to take a break from coffee and alcohol just to see if it changes my sleep quality. Thanks for another insightful video doctor. Just out of curiosity, should deep sleep have dreams/nightmares or not? Is not dreaming anything associated with better rest?
Hmm, there’s quite a bit to dive into here… ironically, I’m actually creating a video on how to sleep better , with evidence based research … should be releasing next couple of days 👍🏽
But to answer your last couple questions, there’s different stages of sleep, each which serve its own purpose. REM sleep is the period where we sleep, whereas the deepest stage of sleep is associated with markedly decreased brain activity. Both serve a purpose (REM more in memory processing/learning/growing connections in the brain whereas Non REM is deeper rest, glymphatic activity, repair etc ) … the reason sleep quality its important is because you want to allow for all these stages every night.
Great video, but I have to correct you. The pathological proteins like tau, amiloid and so on do not cause neurodegeneration! They are side products of processes that we do not know, that causes neurodegeneration. I also have to correct you about the order of the stages of the sleep.
Thanks! Yes indeed there are multiple processes going on that develop side products like these abnormal proteins. There’s still ongoing research about which came first and whether we’re facing a “chicken or egg” situation on it… it’s multifactorial. The glymphatic system plays a role in flushing out waste products that build up … I’m not exactly sure I understand what your point on sleep is. Basically, glymphatic system is most active during deep non rem sleep.
@MedyFlix there are clinical studies that indicated high amount of pathological proteins in clinically healthy people, also increasment of those proteins in patients whit dementia whitout clinical progression, and there is study where amiyloid was dissolved whit medicaments and removed out of the cells but it caused no improvement in condition and memories. This indicates that proteins are more likely side products. If I remembered correctly you said tha the sleep begins whit REM phase which is incorrect. REM phase follows the 3 and 4 phase of the deep sleep and some times can occur after phase 2 in some conditions. Have a nice evening my friend.
Yup, so spreading out water intake during the day works best with ideally stopping water intake 1-2 hrs before bed, also adding electrolytes on occasion does indeed assist with retaining water and don’t forget that many fruits and vegetables are also water rich which adds to your daily hydration👌🏽
YOU KEEP SAYING SLEEP ON YOUR LEFT SIDE BUT OTHERS SAY SLEEP ON MY RIGHT SIDE, EVEN THE BOY IN THIS VIDEO SLEEPS ON HIS RIGHT SIDE? WHICH IS IT PLEASE?
So how does this help someone like me working complete Graveyard/Nightshifts in the Indian BPO Sector and get to sleep from early morning till afternoon?? Is there any hope for us or are we cooked ??
That’s actually a very good question and I myself also face similar issues working night shift at the hospital … unfortunately it’s really not an ideal situation but am working on something focused purely for people who have to do night shift and how those people can still maintain the quality of their sleep cycles when they go to sleep
If you were in an office building with no windows, your body would adjust its circadian rhythm. I think the problem that people who work night shifts have is that they are interrupted by family etc.. during sleep. As well, you need that daily light
Hmm, for your heart that position has been found better than the left side position. So I start wondering, which position nature has intended for us to sleep in...
