Bedtime Story - The Science of Sleep and Dreams (ASMR)

Link to the Slumber 30-days free trial: https://slumber.fm/fw In this video, I take you on a new exploration journey, to discover what science can tell us about sleep and dreams: what happens when we sleep? What are the phases of sleep and the difference between quiescent sleep and paradoxical/REM sleep? Why do we need it? What are intermediary states of consciousness like sleepwalking or lucid dreaming? I also tell you about the origins of dreams, their possible functions and how neurobiology, psychoanalysis, psychology, religion or literature approached them. This video contains a paid sponsorship.
