I wish we had this show in the US. I just happened to stumble across these videos and I would totally watch this every week. But not a lame American copy. I want the real thing
In The Netherlands they tried, did not work at all. Something about a lack of genius presenters like Stephen and Sandy. Thank got we got different shows just as brilliant but different set up.
I've gone quite a while without using an alarm clock when I've been unemployed. The problems with using my circadian rhythms alone are a) I get different amounts of sleep from day to day (and somehow never seem to get enough), and b) I cycle through being up during the day and up during the night. I can see why some sort of standardization is required. We could never interact with each other in a meaningful way or get a society going if everyone just slept whenever their body told them to.
I would question whether this is because of other factors and not necessarily the lack of regulation - from an evolutionary standpoint humans shouldn’t need alarm clocks or to follow standardised time to reap the benefits of good sleep. Ideally, sleeping in a room with a lot of access to natural lighting should wake you up with the sunrise. Obviously this would get you up at an earlier time in the summer than in the winter, but our biology doesn’t account for the arbitrary structure of working hours. Setting a regular bedtime can also help to adjust your circadian rhythm to your daily routine, though it can’t always guarantee a regular wake-up time. Sleep can also be less effective when there are sounds around you, when the temperature is too hot or too cold, when your bed is uncomfortable or when there is too much light, even if it doesn’t wake you up, it is likely to make it harder to fall into deeper sleep. Similarly, anxiety or the stress of modern life affects sleep through both mental and physical symptoms - therapy and/or mindfulness are most effective to mitigate the effects of these, but switching caffeine for a herbal tea of lavender or chamomile before bed can induce calming effects in the short term. It’s unlikely that the lack of an alarm clock would be the largest hurdle to getting effective sleep, as it’s more natural for us than waking up with an alarm, and there are plenty of external factors which do actively disrupt our sleeping patterns.
I know; I thought for a while about trying to do what Edison supposedly did, and sleep an hour every four (the hypothesis being that the first hour after you go to sleep is the most fruitful), but I could only do that if I were a self-employed inventor that didn't have to interface with the schedule of regular people.
They recently did find out why you need to sleep. If you are sleeping your brain starts clearing out built up garbage, its sorta like the lympathic system but for the brain. It just took us a long time to discover it.
I have sleep disturbances and without an alarm clock I still don't get enough sleep. Not having an alarm clock doesn't stop you being woken up by other sounds, dreams, physical sensations etc.
How funny. My cousin informed me, when I was very small. That raw liver on a plate, was my older sisters gum trimmings. I totally believed him at the time! Lol
I haven't seen the shark episode before. I'm feeling like David had to chime in at the end. "Is that really a good comparison? Are there really as many people swimming in the ocean around the world at this very minute than people standing near a cow in Britain?"
Now let me see…. Is it TWO? Or maybe TOO???? Your question is great! (My jokey answer, though, is too lame; maybe I should try two times to see if I can do better.)
In the first clip, that wasn't a composition of the two faces. They just took select features from both and made a new image out of them. Completely different techniques.
Yeah...as children we do sometimes have very strange reactions. I once in choir saw somenody throw up and my reaction to it was not, oh that's disgusting but rather I think he had meatballs given that you could see them there and my brother found that so funny he just kept laughing and reapeating the same line.
Well, OK about the sharks vs. cows. But most people don't go deep-sea swimming all that much, do they? And when they do spot a shark swimming close to shore, all bathers are warned out of the water. On the other hand, city-dwellers especially are under entirely the wrong impression about cows and are remarkably incautious when they're around them.
I still remember the kid who wrote into SMTV Live and said his dad would fart into a biscuit tin and when the kid had a friend over, the dad would offer them a biscuit from it lol
@@hashtag_thisguy:... no, incorrect. There is an episode of Would I Lie To Tou, where a statement David made, referred to him owning a SPECIFIC dressing gown for travel. This statement turned out to be TRUE and that is what our friend was referring to in their comment.
Not sure about the 17hours no sleep = 2glasses of red wine, i recently stayed up that long doing a uni assignment and only made a few spelling mistakes, but kept awake after it finished for a total of 32 hours without sleep and was still alert and actually doing much better on my mates Cod than i normally would be😂
After 24 hours it's supposed to be as bad as if you'd had half a bottle of scotch. After 32 hours I can only assume that everything you thought was happening was some kind of wild delusion :P
? Thinking about, in my lifetime I dont remember ever having a ppocket over the left breast, where I have had a single pocket shirt its only ever been on the right??
Is the something like buttons on a coat or shirt? Left hand side for ladies, and right hand side for men? Personally I don't like breast pockets, if you are well endowed it looks like you've got too big a hankie in there.
that's a Venn Diagram to be had. let's test it out. 10 sharks in the water 10 cows on the beach. are you likely to get stomped to death or chomped to death?
We sleep, because there are tigers out there at night. And we can't see and they can. So safest thing, put us under. Otherwise most guys anyway, would be blundering around out there and probably eaten. Oh, and Alphabet Soup dates back to 1886 at least. So Freud could certainly have known about it.
I could watch this show forever, it is just so entertaining.
Someone needs to learn the answer to the question of what "too" means.

To be fair, if you don’t sleep you will die, so there’s clearly some evolutionary advantage to sleep
But why does it kill us? That's the chin-stroking question here. Fish don't sleep, so why do we, and most other animals, need to?

For me its the eyes, and when it first comes in sight out of the blue
All sharks should sound like a happy, friendly Joe Lycett

It's true, I was surfing when attacked by a cow.
I was killed instantly.
So sorry for your loss. If it's any consolation, that cow was found guilty of culpable ho-moo-cide and turned into tasty burgers.
Cows: Placid when on land, maniacal when in water!
2:20 I reckon the reason the more attractive female golfers were better was just because they got more time and tutorage spent on them.

You don't need to be deep-sea swimming for sharks, and a lot of beaches around the world don't have lifeguards.
