Despite the fact we only spend one-third of our lives in slumber, scientists still aren’t completely certain. Finding the function of Sleep is one of the biggest—and most intriguing—challenges facing biologists today.

One thing is certain: Sleep It is essential to It is water and food that sustains us all. It has an impact on almost all aspects of our lives. of Our lives are influenced by our mood to The functioning of It is one of the most important organs in our bodies. to Learning and memory are key factors in a productive and healthy life.

Secrets of Sleep Science: From Dreams to Disorders Here’s your chance to Access groundbreaking research about this complex and mysterious phenomenon of Straight from the scientists at the forefront: Sleep of This is the field. H. Craig Heller (a Stanford University professor and researcher) reveals the extent to which neuroscientists as well as biologists have come in 24 riveting lectures. to Identify the main functions of sleep—which remain a matter of intense debate.

Understanding Why Sleep Debts must Be Paid

Early on in this course, you’ll learn that your brain forces you to Do not fall asleep to repay an accumulated sleep deficit—no matter how dangerous the circumstances. You’ll also learn the myriad ways sleep loss is associated with increased risk for serious health problems such as

obesity,
diabetes,
Depression and
Reduction in resistance to Infectious disease.

Professor Heller, backed by solid scientific evidence, explains what happens in the sleep brain from the bottom. to Both at the molecular and cell level. You’ll investigate what biological changes may be produced by wakefulness and reversed during sleep, in addition to

How our circadian clocks could fail in a catastrophic way
Coping mechanisms for jetlag, shift work, insomnia and other issues

Discover Architecture of Sleep

The widespread interest in sleep dates back to the beginning. to The study of ancient times is still relevant today. of Sleep is still relatively new. In fact, these are the first insights into the anatomy of sleep. of sleep didn’t occur until 1929, when the electroencephalograph was developed to Monitor patterns of The brain’s electrical activity.

Professor Heller explains how these EEG recordings enabled scientists to understand the brain. to REM (rapid eyes movement) and nonREM states are the defining features of sleep. You’ll explore both REM and non-REM sleep in depth, including how they cycle throughout the night.

Non-REM sleep EEG recordings reveal a slow-wave pattern with high-amplitude that indicates large populations of Neurons fire in sync.
REM Sleep, often called “dreaming sleep,” It creates a similar, fast, low-amplitude pattern. to An EEG during waking.
