Important for our memory, for our emotional processing. So in the stage of sleep during which our eyes don't move back and forward, we tend to divide non-rem sleep into three stages of sleep, so light sleep, intermediate sleep, and deep sleep.
Ever wondered why some nights you find yourself in the middle of a nightmare or even sleepwalking? 'All In The Mind' takes you on a journey through the curious and sometimes eerie landscape of our sleeping minds. Hosted by Lynne Malcolm, this episode dives into the neuroscience behind nightmares, night terrors, and sleepwalking. It's not just about the spooky stuff; you'll also learn how these phenomena reveal crucial aspects of our brain's functioning, including emotional processing and memory consolidation.
The episode also touches on conditions like narcolepsy, PTSD, and sleep deprivation, explaining how they impact our nightly adventures. For anyone fascinated by the workings of the mind or struggling with sleep issues, this episode offers both scientific insights and practical tips for better sleep hygiene. So, if you're curious about what goes on in your brain while you're catching Z's, tune in to this enlightening episode.
