Zapper Zapped it’s more like, they like to continue doing what they’re already doing. If they’re asleep, they wanna stay asleep. If they’re awake, they don’t wanna go to sleep. At least that’s my own experience.
Like a college student can’t imagine filling up a balloon haha he could have easily just said, “Imagine it like airing up a balloon.” And that would have gotten his point across lol
In general this seemed kinda odd. The whole kid explanation didn't feel like an explanation at all. Kid knew some basic stuff and had some questions, then the guy's like "yo how do dolphins sleep, do you wanna know, do you?". If someone can write down 3 short sentences and that encompasses all the discussion got you, then that's a waste of time, even for the kid.
@@dowfreak7 it's not a waste of time, a brain of a kid really sees that as pretty interesting, myself included when i was that kid's age i would get exited to know about how animals sleep, eat or do stuff, because knowledge when you're a kid ITS THE MOST INTERESTING THING EVER, now why dude fill up a balloon for the teeneger? simple it makes the person pay more attention, that's why a lot of university lab professors, use stuff and not just theory !
This kid is smarter than I was at 10 years old. I was crying to my mom that my shadow won't leave me alone. She'd tell me to go hide under a tree to get it to go away. She a genius too.

What I love about these “5 Levels” videos is that experts always seem to be more intimidated by explaining the concepts to the children than they are to anyone else😂
It’s something I’m learning over the course of completing my PhD. Once you get to a certain level of understanding of a subject, it becomes harder to “dumb down” explanations because you become so accustomed to certain terminologies etc. You spend all day thinking about this subject at a level of such complexity that trying to explain the basics (or, god forbid, those aforementioned complexities) in layman’s terms is really daunting. Unless you’re experienced in education. That’s probs why teaching STEM subjects is a whole degree field in itself.
@@nairabittencourt6125 I don’t really think that’s the case. Someone can absolutely be an expert, a master of their field, but simply lack the communication skills to explain the subject at a level that people uneducated in that subject can understand. It doesn’t mean they’re less knowledgeable or experienced, just that they can’t really relay that knowledge in a digestible way for normal people. Not everyone can.
@@registeredjopper well, I don't think we're disagreeing on this. I didn't say an expert lacks understanding. I said a true expert not only understands their field deeply but also knows how to convey the subject in different levels.
My friend's son was sleeping a lot around the same age. We figured it was a growth spurt because all he did was eat, sleep, go to school and repeat. 😂 It lasted for a few months and then he was okay.

When we were little, my brother and I shared a bedroom. One of my earliest memories is of him finally sleeping the entire night completely covered head to toe by his blanket and how this was apparently very important. I think it was his first sleep experiment. Fast forward 35 years and people are calling him the Ryan Reynolds of sleep on the internet! Follow your dreams (pun) kids!
My anxiety levels skyrocketed when he started talking about all the different nerves and the ventral and dorsal pathways with the PHD student- game me major flashbacks to A&P *shudder*. The conversation with the specialist was surprisingly interesting and easy to follow though.
It takes a PhD, possibly a tenure, to call an apple an apple (or, as a PhD student would say, to substitute the superfluous jargon with more vernacular exposition).
It was just neuroanatomy, maybe she didn’t study that for a long time or at all. Actually not that hard it just sounds really hard because of the technical terms.
The moment level 5 came around it jumped to a whole new level. The funny part is, that usually happens when two experts put together talking about their field of expertise.
Here's what I noticed. When the teacher is listening to stuff he already knows, he stares and his head doesnt bob. When he s in conversation with a peer and looking to drive the conversation, he nods endlessly.
or that's just one particular aspect that is interesting in her field, given that she has an expert in front of her that she can quiz, and you're reading too much into it. but i'll try to remember where i'm at, too
The expert was basically saying sleep apnea and/or sleep disturbances can cause a super large increase in the chance you get dementia or alzheimers or Parkinson's in old age based on her studies.
Hey I just took an exam all about this last week in my neuropsychology class and I literally knew everything he was talking about. That’s such a good feeling LMAO
Whenever they do these 5 levels thing, I always interested in how good the expert when they explaining to children. To me, that shows to us how good their understanding is.
But that is the easiest level to explain.. Basically everyone could explain sleep to a child in a simple way. Not everyone could do it at an expert level to an adult.
@@danielschoen8402 true about everything you are saying, but what l think the dude is trying to say is, you don't know something unless you can simplify it for a laymen to understand.
You're another level of expert when you're able to explain concepts in multiple levels of difficulty. there are so many people who are good at what they do but they can't teach it for the life of them in simple terms.
I wish that they talked about what is up with polyphasic sleep, and why it's possible to hop directly into REM sleep when you are sleep deprived - because this implies that REM sleep is the most useful phase. SInce the giraffe only sleeps for 30 mins, it would be interesting to know if those 30 mins are REM sleep - there is not a lot of time for cycles like ours, right? Also there are people who did polyphasic sleep combined with a good diet/nutrition, especially with lots of antioxidants. These are basically hints that sleep phases other than REM (which only adds up to about an hour of a normal sleep night) are "useless" and that you could get a lot more time out of your day if you trained yourself to fall right into REM - but this needs to be done with proper supply of antioxidants. Wish this was somehow talked about in this series.
hmm, i know this is a late comment, but I just wanted to give my opinion as a psychology student in high school. I don't necessarily agree with your statement that all phases other than REM are 'useless'. IF that WAS the case, REM WOULD take up 100% of the sleep cycle, which, its not. REM only makes up roughly 20-25% of sleep, whereas NREM makes up 70-75%. If the body didn't need it, why would it do it? I understand that a healthy individual with a 'good diet/nutrition' would have more efficient types of sleep, but I don't think it would change to that drastic of a degree where NREM is NOT needed. And also, I would like to completely reject your statement that 'other sleep cycles' as you mention, which can only be assumed as NREM, make up only 'an hour of normal sleep night'? that's completely wrong. If we sleep 8 hours, and NREM makes up 75 percent, that's 6 hours. Another point to kind of address, 'generally', NREM is commonly associated with the restorative effects on the body (physiological aspects), whereas REM is associated with the restoration of the brain (psychological factors), and thus both stages of sleep are crucial for restoration (according to most theories).
Best episode in my opinion so far. He doesn’t really talk about a concept of sleeping but sleep in general, but I like how the difficulty still rises as it goes on :)
I'm surprised there wasn't much discussion about dreaming. Especially since recent research suggests that we don't just dream while we sleep, but we basically sleep specifically so we can dream. Dreaming seems to have a connection to how we learn, and synthesize new information and integrate it into our existing memory.
Having narcolepsy, this talk of normal sleep makes me curious as to what that’s like. I don’t often think about how different it is for people like me. This is fascinating to me.
Azure Dragon what part of normal sleep are you missing? Have you had a sleep study done? With narcolepsy, you start dreaming within 5 to 10 minutes of sleep. Personally, I go into REM sleep almost immediately.
My main issue is having a very late start, if any. It'll usually take me hours to get to sleep. I'll either end up with only a couple hours or sleep through half the day.
Are you on any medication for narcolepsy? I have just started modafinil and its the closest I've felt to having the normal levels of wakefulness a normal person has in years!! I mean I still drop dead once or twice in a day but wayyyy less than when I wasn't being treated.
Leslie Lopez I used to take Provigil (brand name modafinil) back before there was a generic about 18 years ago. Insurance changed and cant afford that one. Now I take armodafinil which is a generic of Nuvigil. Honestly, I preferred Provigil. I definitely did more teeth grinding when I first started it armodafinil. If you just started taking it, I recommend getting a night mouth guard if you notice (or someone you sleep with tells you) teeth grinding at night. I used to take Xyrem, too. I still would, if I could afford it. Funny thing is, I was part of the test study to get it approved to prescribe. Now I can’t afford to get it. If you have type 1 narcolepsy, have good insurance or live in a country that it doesn’t cost an arm and leg, and you haven’t tried Xyrem, you should. It’s very different, as it isn’t something you take to stay awake. Look it up if you’ve never heard of it.
As a psychology graduate student, after watching a bunch of these videos about gravity and lasers with knowledge pretty much at the level 1, I’m so happy I can finally follow along with the conversation! 😅
@@mikepettengill2706 Really? She seemed way more interested to me.. Edit: I thought he seemed more polite. He seemed far more.. Energetic with the kids..
What was mind-blowing about this whole video is how dolphins actually sleep with half their brain turned “off” and the other left awake until they alternate. That was really interesting!!
It's interesting. I have heard that you will go through periods of being tired, which I personally agree with. Once you surpass a level of being very tired, you will become less tired and then go through the cycle without sleeping. Also that naps can be useful, but not long naps. Because apparently catching up on sleep is actually something we can do. If we got less sleep the previous night, we can sleep more to :catch up"

Is math related to science?
Matteo Fabro BIG PP
LOL THIS COMMENT MADE MY DAY
Me: watching this instead of sleeping.
The sleep scientist: "am I a joke to you?"
Me watching these episodes: I would like to be disguised as a kid so I can ask all the dumb questions without people looking at me like I'm dumb af
Also me: The kid is smarter than me and I would still be the dumb idiot.
*Aric:* “we’re going to be learning about sleep”
*Christopher:* “oh my favourite part of the day”
*Aric:* “They sleep under water!”
*Christopher:* “I could never do that, I’d pass out”
This kid is awesome omg
He did seem like an awesome kid! I thought it was funny the guy showed him a picture of a giraffe and asked him if he knew what it was, though. lol
That's Simone's brother! She watches this video and makes fun of him daily for it.
She shouldn't do that, she should be very proud of him.
When we were little, my brother and I shared a bedroom. One of my earliest memories is of him finally sleeping the entire night completely covered head to toe by his blanket and how this was apparently very important. I think it was his first sleep experiment. Fast forward 35 years and people are calling him the Ryan Reynolds of sleep on the internet! Follow your dreams (pun) kids!
Ask him what's up with his socks... : )
cutee
That is just sweet 😊
Wait so that's your brother???
What?!!
I used to do my “sleep research” during 6th period high school geometry class..
Used to be history for me
nsamba taufeeq English for me
i had 0 hour geometry class at 7 am so yeah same
I used to do mine during church on a sunday
Your brain is smarter when you are asleep.
Don't worry kid, you're fine
Sleep is important
Me: currently at 5am watching this “oh well...”
My woman
My anxiety levels skyrocketed when he started talking about all the different nerves and the ventral and dorsal pathways with the PHD student- game me major flashbacks to A&P *shudder*. The conversation with the specialist was surprisingly interesting and easy to follow though.
It takes a PhD, possibly a tenure, to call an apple an apple (or, as a PhD student would say, to substitute the superfluous jargon with more vernacular exposition).
Could you guys bring memory scientist to talk about memory system in 5 level ?
I would LOVE that
Lol try kandel.
YES
maybe level 3... that's when i understood it lol
Either you were born with it or you just have Alzheimer’s dude,
Even the grad student was like, "shiiiiiiii wht" *blinking intensifies* 💀..
I was particularly intrigued at the part where he said "fiqewp adfpoit wqe oiua uv asdfo udfshjwer" to the college grad.
It was just neuroanatomy, maybe she didn’t study that for a long time or at all. Actually not that hard it just sounds really hard because of the technical terms.
this five level series is so pure and refreshing to watch.
I am also a sleep scientist. I've been experimenting on sleeping since the time I was born.
The moment level 5 came around it jumped to a whole new level. The funny part is, that usually happens when two experts put together talking about their field of expertise.
Here's what I noticed.
When the teacher is listening to stuff he already knows, he stares and his head doesnt bob.
When he s in conversation with a peer and looking to drive the conversation, he nods endlessly.
HexerPsy hahah.
Going back watching him bobble his head like a maniac with his final guest is hilarious, thanks for pointing this out.
man, he really took the padded gloves off when the grad student stepped in
Steven Carbuhn I was thinking the same thing fr fr
You're reading my mind
His tone even changed- he did not like her 😂
Omg he clearly speaks like he doesn’t like her hahahhaha
She asked a good question on the effects of amphetamines and he got pissed because he didn’t know the answer. Lol.
18:00 She basically said, "you didn't teach me anything I didn't already know"
Not true.
christopher at 10: *learning the science of sleep*
me at 10: *hanging with my buddy Jeff the snail*
Me at 34. Hanging with my buddy Jeff the Snail. 😆
Me at 35. Hanging out with my buddy Jeff the snail.
having a conversation with someone over a topic both of you are passionate about is so nice. wish i was still passionate about stuff
The grad student was really interested in amphetamines...
She was playing with her lips a lot too lol
Me too!
👀
or that's just one particular aspect that is interesting in her field, given that she has an expert in front of her that she can quiz, and you're reading too much into it. but i'll try to remember where i'm at, too
Kryptonite nah, she’s a science PhD student. She’s definitely popping adderall.
Scientist: what's that? (Shows a picture of a 🦛)
Kid: A hippo?
Scientist: a hippopotamus
Kid: OK BOOMER
Arvin Medina BAHABAHAHHAA
This comment is one of the funniest things I've seen on RUclips ever.
Made me laugh
But he's not a Boomer?
Mahesa Rangga lol... crickets
I surprised myself when I understood most of the jargon he was talking about... then I remembered, I'm a medical student 🤨
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was like "yeah finally one where I won't get lost on the last levels"
And the conversation with the specialist was so insteresting
Don’t worry, you’ll forget it all in residency
@@patrickmorency LOL so true
lmao, psychology major and SAME
There was a steep step between college and grad but this is so enjoyable to watch
This is how they should teach at school.
Explaning the topic very simple at first and then getting more and more complicated
I learned more with the kid than I did with the expert.
JustSharin' it's because you're a lay-person. He explained it in a way so that people who are not so scientifically inclined can understand
The expert was basically saying sleep apnea and/or sleep disturbances can cause a super large increase in the chance you get dementia or alzheimers or Parkinson's in old age based on her studies.
she's an md phd so she does more research on the clinical aspects of asleep
I feel like I understood the gravity expert better than the sleep college talk.
Hey I just took an exam all about this last week in my neuropsychology class and I literally knew everything he was talking about. That’s such a good feeling LMAO
lol my neuropsych exam is in 3 weeks, but I feel you on that XD. Can't believe that talk w/ the expert got me riled up.
cathy921ontheradio good luck!!
I have no clue what they were talking about.
Congrats!
"How long do you nap?"
"1 to 6 hours" 😐😬😬😬
he sleeps to 9 p.m then go to the bar at 1 a.m. it sounds planned :))
winters will do that to you
I can relate.
When your in high school nothing counts as enough to not be a nap....
Very interesting stuff to learn at 4:00 while not being able to sleep
Edit: Also this man wears a fabulous pair of socks
This guy: You need at least 8 hours of sleep a day to function
Me on either 1 or 10 hours sleep: We ride at dawn bitches!
Whenever they do these 5 levels thing, I always interested in how good the expert when they explaining to children. To me, that shows to us how good their understanding is.
But that is the easiest level to explain.. Basically everyone could explain sleep to a child in a simple way. Not everyone could do it at an expert level to an adult.
@@danielschoen8402 true about everything you are saying, but what l think the dude is trying to say is, you don't know something unless you can simplify it for a laymen to understand.
You're another level of expert when you're able to explain concepts in multiple levels of difficulty. there are so many people who are good at what they do but they can't teach it for the life of them in simple terms.
That college student is absolutely stunning
exactly
in Hawaii everyone is gorgeous, it's ridiculous
I don't know how he maintains eye contact whilst not fluttering his speech. I'd be sweating if I was him
Her eyes are mesmerizing. She's beautiful.
thanks you guys!
nothing like listening to how sleep works while trying to fall asleep
This guy is the best at explaining at all five levels. Too many speakers here make it complex for level 1 and level 2.
Seriously, the dolphin's half-sleepy brain thing at the 1st level is way more interesting and complex than the blabla afterwards
Yeah0bviously it was so fascinating omg
That's because you have no idea what he was talking about later on, like most people who watched the video.
Meek omg you said “ok boomer” So funny
Yeah, but the last 2 levels are the driving force behind understanding the first 3...
I thought it was common knowledge that dolphins sleep like that.
“You shouldn’t be on technology before bed”
Me right now
14:20 When you hit a new level on Tetris and the blocks start dropping way too fast
I wish that they talked about what is up with polyphasic sleep, and why it's possible to hop directly into REM sleep when you are sleep deprived - because this implies that REM sleep is the most useful phase. SInce the giraffe only sleeps for 30 mins, it would be interesting to know if those 30 mins are REM sleep - there is not a lot of time for cycles like ours, right? Also there are people who did polyphasic sleep combined with a good diet/nutrition, especially with lots of antioxidants. These are basically hints that sleep phases other than REM (which only adds up to about an hour of a normal sleep night) are "useless" and that you could get a lot more time out of your day if you trained yourself to fall right into REM - but this needs to be done with proper supply of antioxidants. Wish this was somehow talked about in this series.
Nerd
hmm, i know this is a late comment, but I just wanted to give my opinion as a psychology student in high school.
I don't necessarily agree with your statement that all phases other than REM are 'useless'. IF that WAS the case, REM WOULD take up 100% of the sleep cycle, which, its not. REM only makes up roughly 20-25% of sleep, whereas NREM makes up 70-75%. If the body didn't need it, why would it do it? I understand that a healthy individual with a 'good diet/nutrition' would have more efficient types of sleep, but I don't think it would change to that drastic of a degree where NREM is NOT needed. And also, I would like to completely reject your statement that 'other sleep cycles' as you mention, which can only be assumed as NREM, make up only 'an hour of normal sleep night'? that's completely wrong. If we sleep 8 hours, and NREM makes up 75 percent, that's 6 hours.
Another point to kind of address, 'generally', NREM is commonly associated with the restorative effects on the body (physiological aspects), whereas REM is associated with the restoration of the brain (psychological factors), and thus both stages of sleep are crucial for restoration (according to most theories).
2:47 “ I could never do that I would pass out” that’s the point
Best episode in my opinion so far. He doesn’t really talk about a concept of sleeping but sleep in general, but I like how the difficulty still rises as it goes on :)
I'm surprised there wasn't much discussion about dreaming. Especially since recent research suggests that we don't just dream while we sleep, but we basically sleep specifically so we can dream. Dreaming seems to have a connection to how we learn, and synthesize new information and integrate it into our existing memory.
Most of my dreams are nightmares, so what does this mean for me? Lol
What does it mean if I haven't been able to dream for over 5 years
Dreaming is just a window to different dimensions.
"Hippos sleep underwater"
Kid: "I could never do that"
We needs this series back.
"rests your body like an electric car" i see that he is the age of Doc McStuffins lol
Next I want " 5 levels of level explained."
Imagine what expert in levels say
Having narcolepsy, this talk of normal sleep makes me curious as to what that’s like. I don’t often think about how different it is for people like me. This is fascinating to me.
Tbf, I don't have narcolepsy and haven't experienced normal sleep in a decade or two.
Azure Dragon what part of normal sleep are you missing? Have you had a sleep study done? With narcolepsy, you start dreaming within 5 to 10 minutes of sleep. Personally, I go into REM sleep almost immediately.
My main issue is having a very late start, if any. It'll usually take me hours to get to sleep. I'll either end up with only a couple hours or sleep through half the day.
Are you on any medication for narcolepsy? I have just started modafinil and its the closest I've felt to having the normal levels of wakefulness a normal person has in years!! I mean I still drop dead once or twice in a day but wayyyy less than when I wasn't being treated.
Leslie Lopez I used to take Provigil (brand name modafinil) back before there was a generic about 18 years ago. Insurance changed and cant afford that one. Now I take armodafinil which is a generic of Nuvigil. Honestly, I preferred Provigil. I definitely did more teeth grinding when I first started it armodafinil. If you just started taking it, I recommend getting a night mouth guard if you notice (or someone you sleep with tells you) teeth grinding at night.
I used to take Xyrem, too. I still would, if I could afford it. Funny thing is, I was part of the test study to get it approved to prescribe. Now I can’t afford to get it. If you have type 1 narcolepsy, have good insurance or live in a country that it doesn’t cost an arm and leg, and you haven’t tried Xyrem, you should. It’s very different, as it isn’t something you take to stay awake. Look it up if you’ve never heard of it.
Aric: We're going to talk about sleep today.
Christopher: My favorite part of the day!
This kid is all of us.
As a psychology graduate student, after watching a bunch of these videos about gravity and lasers with knowledge pretty much at the level 1, I’m so happy I can finally follow along with the conversation! 😅
psychology is super easy
Now as someone who casually sleeps at 1-3 am almost everyday, i kinda want these sleep scientists to study my brain. :v
my mind : "wow he knows how to communicate" ... other part of the brain "do not , i repeat do not talk about his socks" ... love the content tho
y nut?
I found his clear and visceral reaction to the young female college student amusing.
@@mikepettengill2706
Really? She seemed way more interested to me..
Edit: I thought he seemed more polite. He seemed far more.. Energetic with the kids..
What was mind-blowing about this whole video is how dolphins actually sleep with half their brain turned “off” and the other left awake until they alternate. That was really interesting!!
Could you do an episode with an immunologist? Would be awesome
I would like to see that
Yes please!
Especially during the times we are in now
It's interesting. I have heard that you will go through periods of being tired, which I personally agree with. Once you surpass a level of being very tired, you will become less tired and then go through the cycle without sleeping. Also that naps can be useful, but not long naps. Because apparently catching up on sleep is actually something we can do. If we got less sleep the previous night, we can sleep more to :catch up"
Child, Teen, College student, grad school, Expert and then Nas 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Sleep is the cousin of Death" - Nas
Kid: “Aww a dolphin” Scientist: “yeah, they can get eaten”
Since when Ryan Reynolds became a sleep scientist?
Good, it's not just me, then. 😆
Would love to see an anthropologist explaining culture at the five levels
Ooo yes
Yess
I found the child explanation most interesting or maybe my brain is in that level only lol
This guy have done his homework to make his lesson interesting for younger audience lol
My favorite part of these is when the expert arrives and they just nerd together about their field as colleagues.
Once they got to grad level throwing around words related to the brain, I was lost for a while. PhD level was much easier to follow.
Wired: *posts a 5 level of difficulty about sleep*
Everyone in the comments: « this dude takes 6 hours naps!?! » « and I’m watching this video at 3 am »
Lol did you take a 6 hour nap today? Might be the cause?
sam solmonson haaa I see what you did there
Delta927 Canadien-français literally same!
This video is genius because the first three segments inform people on sleep and the last two put them to sleep.
Level 1: I understand this
Level 2: I am surprised that I actually understand this
Level 3: A bit more complicated, but I get most of it
Level 4: Wow, those are some big words
Level 5: *huh?*
