00:00Isn't it true that sleeping is more important than eating?

00:04That's right!

00:05There's a mental and physical deterioration when you're awake for over 16 hours.

00:10Your brain can't memorize anymore.

00:12And if you're awake for 3 days, you'll hallucinate or imagine anything.

00:18That's why we should sleep so that our brain can rest.

00:22But did you know that even if we sleep, our brain is still awake?

00:27I'm an autopilot so that I can adjust my memories, muscles, and organs.

00:31And release my hormones.

00:33There are 4 stages and 2 types of sleep.

00:36REM or Rapid Eye Movement.

00:38And NREM or Non-Rapid Eye Movement.

00:425% of sleep is stage 1.

00:45This is the stage where you're already sleepy.

00:4745% of sleep is stage 2.

00:50Known as Light NREM Sleep.

00:53This is when our body slows down.

00:55Our body temperature slows down, our breathing and heart rate slows down,

01:00and long-term memories are stored in our brain.

01:03Stage 3 is Deep NREM Sleep.

01:06This is at 25%.

01:08This is when our body is in recovery mode and our body and brain slows down.

01:14Stage 4 is REM Sleep.

01:16This is the last 25% of sleep and this is when we're dreaming.

01:20During REM Sleep, the levels of brain activity are also awakened.

01:24Our breathing and heart rate.

01:26REM Sleep occurs in the second half of our sleep.

01:30If we don't sleep enough, it has a negative impact.

01:34It's harder to memorize.

01:36You get mood swings.

01:38And it has a negative effect on the immune and cardiovascular system.

01:43I have a question for you.

01:45How many percent of high schoolers don't have 8 to 10 hours of sleep?

01:50A. 23%

01:53B. 55%

01:56Or C. 72%

01:59The answer is C. 72%.

02:02And that number is a bit alarming.

02:05Kids, don't sleep too much, okay?

02:08It's relaxing to sleep.

02:10But aside from that, it's also exciting to wait for our dreams.

02:15Speaking of dreams, we dream 4 to 6 times.

02:19But 95% of our dreams are forgotten when we wake up.

02:24And did you know that 75% of us dream of colors?

02:29But when there were no color TVs, it was only 15%.

02:33Esha, why do we sometimes have dreams that are so weird?

02:37Because while we sleep, the front part of the brain that controls our senses is shut down.

02:43Because of that, different images, stories, and ideas mix in our brain while we're dreaming.

02:50That's why it's weird.

02:51But the dream stage helps our problem-solving skills because we see things in a different way.

03:13Thank you for watching!
