Yeah, our prayers 141 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: are always saying go to bed so we can be 142 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: big and tall and strong. Was that a trigg or 143 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: is there any evidence of that? 144 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: I still feel a little bit shorter than I should be. 145 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 9: Sleepy is extremely important. 146 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 10: Supposedly one third of our lives is spent sleeping. That is, 147 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 10: somebody who's actually sleeping eight hours to recommended sleep time. 148 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 10: If you're not getting enough sleep or good quality sleep, 149 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 10: what we see is that physically you're not doing well, 150 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 10: mentally not doing well, and your quality of life is 151 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 10: significantly impaired. Sleep is a biological necessity because almost everything 152 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 10: we do in our daily existence is a cold by sleep. 153 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 2: This is stressing me out, all right, Doctor Jean Louis 154 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: is coming in hot. Okay, he's not pulling any punches, y'all. 155 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 2: So everything that we do is effected by sleep. Sleep 156 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: is good for a whole host of things, so memory 157 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: formation and storage. It's good for your immune system. It 158 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: gives you a healthier heart because your blood pressure lowers. 159 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: Why you're asleep, muscle repair, hormone regulation. Wow, that's a 160 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: lot of stuff. And you know what happens when you 161 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: don't have sleep. Doctor Jean Louis said, after three or 162 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: four days without sleep, you'll start to hallucinate. It's basically no, 163 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: sleep is a drug you high on, Yeah, like high 164 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: on low on. 165 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Sleep, high on low on sleep. 166 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 10: Yes, Some years ago, a college student wanted to know 167 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 10: how long he could go without sleep. He did affect 168 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 10: about eleven days, because some folks felt that he might 169 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 10: actually die. So you can actually die because of lack 170 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 10: of sleep. We've never done an experiment, ethically speaking, to 171 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 10: to deprive people of sleep. 172 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 9: That was something he wanted to do for himself. 173 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: Listen, if it's not ethically sound for scientists, we shouldn't 174 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: be doing it to ourselves. We shouldn't be torturing ourselves. 175 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: Right, those all nighters we were pulling. 176 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 2: I don't know how we did it. We should have 177 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: been going to our professors and saying, excuse me, do 178 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: you want me to live? 179 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 9: Right? 180 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: Just give me an a. I don't need to take 181 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: this exam. 182 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: What doctor Jean Louis mentioned with the college student is 183 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: just anecdotal. But we also know that a lack of 184 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: sleep is detrimental from my studies too. 185 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 10: What we know is if you deprive mice of sleep 186 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 10: for a long period of time, they actually die. Since 187 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 10: we share a lot with them, we know we too, 188 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 10: if we're deprived for a longer period of time, we 189 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 10: would also die. So again, we can't say sleep has 190 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 10: a killing anybody. We don't have any invidence with that, 191 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 10: but we know of that in fact, long period of 192 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 10: deprivation we lead to death. 193 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: Okay, so now we know that sleep is a biological necessity. 194 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 2: And doctor Jean Louis said, ethically, they're not able to 195 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: do studies to prove that you can die from lack 196 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: of sleep, but there's pretty strong evidence that suggest that 197 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: you can't live without it. You know, this is one 198 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: of those things that seems obvious but also not really 199 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: because in today's society, when we're juggling all these different responsibilities, 200 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: sleep is often the first thing out the window. And 201 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 2: we shouldn't be sacrificing sleep as if it's just nice 202 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: to have. We need to think of it like oxygen. 203 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 10: The American Academus Sleep Medicine recommends that we get about 204 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 10: seven to eight hours of sleep as an adults. 205 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: So seven to eight hours is the optimal amount of sleep. 206 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: What are the health risks if you're not typically getting 207 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: that much sleep at night? 208 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 10: So they determine if you happen to be sleeping less 209 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 10: than six hours or more than eight hours, sometimes more 210 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 10: than nine hours, you are at used for significant medical 211 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 10: come moobidities. Such as how blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovasketar disease, 212 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 10: cancer to some degree, and if you also sleep in 213 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 10: more than nine hours, you are also at leased for 214 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 10: both cardiovasclar disease as well as psychiatric illness. 215 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 2: This is a slippery slope, so you just got to 216 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: balance right at the top. Don't get too little sleep, 217 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: don't get too much sleep. 218 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 7: Right. 219 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: I thought that. I mean, if I'm tired, I just 220 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: lay down. But doctor Jean Lui is telling me, hey, girl, 221 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: get up out of your sleep. 222 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: Eight is enough. 223 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 2: Mean, I think you sometimes get more than seven to eight. 224 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: I'm often getting absolutely, I'm getting seven up to fourteen. 225 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: You're getting twelve to fourteen, Yes. 226 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: Especially on the weekends. Girl, I am in that bed. 227 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 2: I know you say it, but I'm like, she's just 228 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: you know, up and been laying back down. No, I'm like, 229 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 2: I'll wake up, but then I will go back to sleep. 230 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 2: But I'm ashamed to say that now after hearing what 231 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 2: doctor Jean Luis had to say, well, maybe we should 232 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: be a little worried. I'm feeling like I might be 233 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: all right. Though. Here's what he says about people that 234 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 2: are getting less sleep. 235 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 10: The fact that somebody may be a short sleeper. You 236 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 10: may have a friend who sleeps about six hours or 237 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 10: five hours. That doesn't mean that we of Cardiovaski's disease 238 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 10: are substantially higher. 239 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 9: This could be a naturally born short sleeper. 240 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: Now I don't know if that's necessarily the case for me, 241 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 2: but I'm glad that that is an option. All Right, 242 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: we're going to take a break, but when we get back, 243 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 2: we're talking about the different stages of sleep. We're back. 244 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: We're taking a deep dive on sleep in two parts 245 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: next week. We're going to keep talking to our guests, 246 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: doctor Jardin, Jean Louis about environmental factors that affect sleep, 247 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: sleep disorders, and what we've all been waiting for tips 248 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 2: on how to get better sleep. Now, whether you're getting 249 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: five hours of sleep or twelve, what we know is 250 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 2: that it's a complex physiological process. There are multiple different 251 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: stages of sleep. You've probably heard of some of them 252 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: like rim or rim. All these different stages are classified 253 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: by what's happening in the brain. There's neurons in your brain, 254 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: so you constantly have neural activity. Measuring that neural activity 255 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: gives you what we call brain waves. And so what 256 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: doctor Jean Luis is characterizing is how those brain waves look, 257 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: the different patterns and structures they make when you observe them. 258 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: The first thing we have to understand is what's happening 259 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 2: when we're awake. 260 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 10: As we are awake, as we are having a conversation. Now, 261 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 10: the brain is producing what we call beta waves. Bida 262 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 10: really is fast frequency, low voltage that allows us to 263 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 10: be conscious. It allows us to respond to stimuli because 264 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 10: this kind of activity in the brain allows us to 265 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 10: process information. So therefore, if I call your name, that's 266 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 10: the stimulus, you're going to be able to respond to it. 267 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: When you start to feel groggy and lay down, after 268 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: about ten minutes, your brain starts producing alpha waves. 269 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: This is stage one of sleep. 270 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 10: Alf Our waves are lower frequency and the voltage of 271 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 10: the amplitude begins to go a little bit higher. When 272 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 10: you're producing al Fibrijsippi means I made a transition phase 273 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 10: between wakefulness and stage one. I'm not asleep yet because 274 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 10: if I call your name, you can respond most. 275 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 9: Of the time. 276 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: This is one of my favorite parts going to sleep. 277 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: I like to feel sleepy, like When I feel sleepy 278 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: like that, I need to just lay flat right away, 279 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: and then as you begin to fall asleep, the alpha 280 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: waves your brain is produced and transition into a different 281 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: shape to stata waves. 282 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 10: Again, the frequency is dropping and the amplitude is going 283 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 10: up and up and up. 284 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,479 Speaker 9: Stage one sleep, most people can still respond. 285 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 2: If your sleep isn't disrupted, then you may move from 286 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: stage one to stage two, which is when we move 287 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: into deeper sleep. 288 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 10: Two things happen doing stage two sleep. We produce what 289 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 10: we call K complexes and sleep spindles. 290 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: Now these are not physical things that we're producing, but 291 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: they are characterizations of the the way your brain activity 292 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: looks when observed during sleep, and these both happen during 293 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: nrim or non rapid eye movement. Sleep experts are still 294 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: working on understanding the significance and purpose of sleep spindles 295 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: and why their frequency and form can vary from person 296 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: to person. And recently there was a study trying to 297 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 2: understand if sleep spindles could potentially be inherited parents giving 298 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: you bad sleep. Imagine somebody says you look tired, and 299 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: you say, I got my dad's sleep spindals. We try 300 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: to blame everything on our parents, right, especially that dad. 301 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: Then for K complexes, well, it's thought that K complexes 302 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: might be able to suppress your brain's ability to respond 303 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: to stimuli. So it's saying like, hey, there is no 304 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: danger and to keep doing what you're doing right. 305 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 9: Sleep again. 306 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 10: If you are not disturbing any way whatsoever, then you 307 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 10: could get into the deepest stage of sleep, which we 308 00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 10: call delta sleep. 309 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: Delta sleep is also called stage three sleep, my favorite part. 310 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: I don't know who I am, what's up, what's down? 311 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 2: Somebody wakes me up. I'm terrified because I don't know 312 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: where I am. 313 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 10: When you have in delta sleep, the amplitude is really 314 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 10: high and the frequency is very low. The deepest stage 315 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 10: of sleep is what the doctors usually recommend you get 316 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 10: if you happen to be injured. When the doctor says, 317 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 10: I really want you to get bed west, what they 318 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 10: are saying is they want you to get a lot 319 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 10: of deep sleep or delta sleep. 320 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: So first you're awake and your brain's making beta waves. 321 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: Then you go to stage one and that's alpha waves. 322 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: Stage two is data and that's where you have those 323 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: K complexes and sleep spindles. Stage three is delta TT's favorite, 324 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: and stage four is rim which we haven't talked about yet, 325 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: but that's rapid eye movement sleep. 326 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 10: I love im sleep because that's when we are all dreaming. 327 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 10: Every person who has a good night slip should experience 328 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 10: about four to five dream episodes. So essentially, every ninety 329 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 10: minutes or so, we have one dream episode, and then 330 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 10: as you get litter and litter through the night or 331 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 10: in the early morning hours, we tend to have more 332 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 10: dream episodes. 333 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: During rem sleep. 334 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: Our body might not be moving, but our brain is active. Baby, 335 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if I can recall when I wake 336 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: up how many dreams that I've had. How do we 337 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: know if we're having four to five dreams? I don't know, 338 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: but I feel like I'm counting my dreams like this. 339 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: Sometimes I start out and we're all in a boat, 340 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 2: and then I opened a door in a boat and 341 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: we're all in a room and it's a party from 342 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 2: my third grade classroom. That's a separate dream. Every time 343 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: I move through a different portal, new dream. 344 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: Can you remember all the portals? 345 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 2: It's like different scenes, and sometimes it's just morph and 346 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 2: sometimes people don't have faces, but I know who they are. 347 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 2: That happens to me too, or they'll have a completely 348 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: different face, and I'm like, that is I know that's 349 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: your TT exactly. I know exactly who it is, and 350 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 2: I'm calling them by that name, but they don't look 351 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: like that person at all. I need to be journal 352 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 2: in my dreams because I want to know what's in 353 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: my subconscious. Yes. My grandma used to say, don't tell 354 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: your dream before breakfast or it might happen. 355 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 356 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 2: So if I have nightmares or anything bad, I don't 357 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 2: tell people before I eat. Have you ever solved a 358 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: problem or like, had something that was just heavy on 359 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 2: your heart that you were dealing with in real life 360 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 2: and then you go into the dream world and you 361 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 2: come back and you got to answer or a solution. 362 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: I don't think with like social things, but I think yes. 363 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 2: I feel like that happened to me a lot when 364 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 2: I was still in school, where I'd be like, I 365 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 2: don't know how to answer this problem or whatever, and 366 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: I would go to sleep and wake up and be like, 367 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 2: I feel like I know what the answer is now 368 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: because I was working on it in my dreams. 369 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: But problems that I have with people, no, they're still 370 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: not about. 371 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 10: No, because the blended constantly looking for answers. All of 372 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 10: this stuff we've been exposed to for all of our 373 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 10: lives in the back of our mind somehow see onefore 374 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 10: calls it the self conscious mind. There we have all 375 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 10: the answers while we are away producing bid our way. 376 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 10: We can't get that in deep sleep, bowl and sleep 377 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 10: we do have access to that. 378 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 2: Now, the question is what are the trends? How are 379 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 2: there is everybody getting deep sleep? Who's not getting good sleep? 380 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 2: I want to know. 381 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 10: We looked at data for about forty years, going back 382 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 10: to nineteen seventy six. We saw that between black and 383 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 10: white there's a huged the economy in terms of how 384 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 10: much sleep you are getting. 385 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: In a twenty fifteen study, scientists found that Latino and 386 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: Latina or Latin X or Latine, as well as black 387 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 2: people reported getting less than six hours of sleep on 388 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: average per night. 389 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 10: It looks like the gap between black and white is 390 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 10: getting wider over time, which would be very lovely because 391 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 10: short sleep is a predictor or cardio basketball disease. 392 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 9: So sleepduation is very important. 393 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: And there's a major health implications when you consider that. 394 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 2: And so not only is there a difference in total hours, 395 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 2: doctor Jean Luis's there's a disparity when it comes to 396 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 2: getting certain stages of sleep, and that can have serious 397 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: effects on your health. 398 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 10: If you look at the data, so on average, black 399 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 10: folks compared to white sleep about thirty to forty five 400 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 10: minutes less, which means you're getting a less amount of 401 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 10: slower sleep. 402 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: And that slow wave sleep is happening during stages two 403 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: and three. 404 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 10: Doing slower sleep, your blood pressure is supposed to dip. 405 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 10: If it does not, we call this nocturnal have blood 406 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 10: pressure or nocturnal hypertension. 407 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 9: A lot of African American, of Black. 408 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 10: Folks have high levels of high blood pressure, high level 409 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 10: of hypertension. Well, it is in part due to the 410 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 10: fact that we are getting enough delta sleep. Delta sleep 411 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 10: is extremely important for dementia. We are learning that the 412 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 10: whole system, which you call it the glymphatic system, that's 413 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 10: the system in the brain that washes out all the 414 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 10: taxins will accumulate during the day. 415 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: That's amyloid proteins. Those are the structures that they look 416 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: for when they're scanning to see if you are developing 417 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 2: Alzheimer's or dementia. And so you get protein built up 418 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 2: and there are these toxins and things and they can aggregate, 419 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 2: and you get this protein aggregation. You can imagine you're 420 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: less likely to get aggregation if these things are cleared 421 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: from your system. And that's what the glymphatic system does 422 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 2: when you sleep, is clearing those toxins. It's connected to 423 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: the spinal fluid. It's wild. 424 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: These bodies are amazing, amazing. 425 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 8: Bruh. 426 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 2: Why can't I feel that happening, that washing over my 427 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 2: brain because you're in delta sleep, girl. 428 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and wake up quick one day and 429 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: catch it. 430 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: And part of what the brain is washing out are 431 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 2: these protein precursors that if they don't get removed, they 432 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 2: can become toxic. Amyloid beta or A beta and tau. 433 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 10: There are two particular toxin which we call abida and tau. 434 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 10: Those two proteins are the indices when we see them 435 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 10: in the brain that somebody has a highlight clut of 436 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 10: developing ASA's dementia. 437 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 2: Studies have shown that people of color not only spend 438 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 2: less time on average in deep sleep, they also take 439 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 2: longer to fall asleep and they wake up more during 440 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 2: the night. 441 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: All of this leads to less time. 442 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: In that sweet spot, the deep sleep zone, which is 443 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 2: really crucial for all of the health reasons we discussed earlier. 444 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 2: So we've covered quite a bit of ground so far. 445 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: We've talked about the importance of sleep and how it's 446 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 2: connected to so many different systems. We've talked about how 447 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 2: many hours of sleep we really should be getting t 448 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: t Yes. We've also talked about the different stages of 449 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: sleep and what their function is, and how many dreams 450 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 2: we should be having because I have a friend who 451 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 2: says she doesn't dream, and I've got questions. 452 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of questions about that. 453 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 2: But we also realize that there are sleep deficits in 454 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: different communities, and so we have sleep disparities as well. 455 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 2: And so one of the things that we've talked about 456 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: in some earlier episodes, which I think is important here, 457 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 2: is understanding that when we say things like, oh, people 458 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: of color get less sleep and they're more likely to 459 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: wake up in the night, that is not just because 460 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 2: the melanin in their skin makes them wake up. There 461 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 2: are other things going on. That is such a good point, 462 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: and that's exactly what we're talking about next week in 463 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: part two of this series. We're talking about the environmental 464 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 2: and psychosocial factors that impact sleep. My one thing is 465 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 2: a New York Times article. Okay, you know, a couple 466 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 2: of weeks ago, I shared about my experience with a 467 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 2: crustacean in my oysters. Oh, if you're not following Zakia 468 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: on Instagram, you're really missing out. She's on the storyteller. 469 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: I don't post a lot to the grid, but I 470 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: am in those stories, and you need to be following 471 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: her and setting those alerts so that you know when 472 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 2: she's posting. Melissa Clark wrote in The New York Times 473 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: about oysters and oyster flavor, and she says to eat 474 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: oysters better, treat them like wine, and I couldn't agree more. 475 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 2: You know how they say wine has a terror are 476 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 2: like a flavor profile based on where it's grown. There's 477 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: a similar term for seafood and it's called a mirror 478 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 2: for the marine environment. And they're talking about that for 479 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 2: oysters and scallops. And it was really interesting to me. 480 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it. So my one thing I love 481 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 2: a good funny gift, and I especially love good funny 482 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: gifts that involve my dog Daisy. She's a thousand year 483 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 2: old Chihuahua, and I wonder where Jimmy is because it's 484 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: actually one of his. 485 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: This is a gift tim book. 486 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: I use this thing called Pet Creatives not even from 487 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 2: fucking friend, and they take a picture of your dog 488 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 2: or your pet, and then they have these different templates 489 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 2: that they could put them in to sketch them. And 490 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 2: I made Daisy into a classic lady. Yes, she's beautiful, classy. 491 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: I did this in the middle of the night one 492 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 2: night when I was trying to figure out what to 493 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: get Jimmy for Christmas.
