Sleep is essential for good overall health. Sleep is actually more important for our health than diet or exercise. Not getting enough uninterrupted sleep negatively affects a person's attention, learning and memory, and physical and mental health. Getting abundant, restful sleep is one of the best ways to improve your physical health and emotional well-being. Take this course if you want to find out the latest from neuroscience about sleep, learn strategies to improve your sleep, find out what exciting we know about dreams, or explore the pretty unique experience of lucid dreaming.
Many people see sleep as a waste of time.
When we hear about someone who only sleeps like four hours a night, we see them as an example to be followed. For sure, those people are highly efficient and productive. But, are they, actually?
We spend around 1/3rd of our life sleeping. It’s the one activity besides breathing we spend the most time doing, all of us, without exception. And that’s regardless of the danger that comes with it. I mean, just laying there, from an evolutionary perspective, we could get attacked and killed by a predator. Hence, sleep has to be really important!
We don’t value it as much, but sleep just has to have a major role in our life. It’s inevitable. Otherwise, evolution would have tossed it out a long time ago. So, what is this major role? What could be so important that pushes us all every night again into a state of total vulnerability, and this for hours and hours on end? That’s what we will going to find out in this course.
I’m going to show you not only why we sleep, but what happens in our brain and body while we sleep. And the consequences of both sleep and lack of sleep.
We’ve now reached a point in neuroscience where we’ve been able to explore what’s happening in our brain during our sleep. It’s a fascinating new world that has opened up to us.
There are moments during our sleep that our brain is more active than when we’re awake! I’ll tell you more about it in the course. But only that single fact is already a major indication of the importance of sleep for our brain. Our brain doesn't rest. Sleep is not about resting, at least when it comes to our brain.
So, yes, sleep is majorly important, and if you follow this course, chances are you are already aware of that.
Maybe you even have trouble sleeping. Well, in this course, we’re going to cover that as well. Strategies to improve your sleep. Sometimes there are very simple things that we can do, or stop doing that will have a major impact on the quality of our sleep.
I’ll share those with you.
My hope is that by taking this course, you will realize the importance of taking care of your sleep. And will act accordingly, making it a priority in your life.
But this course will go way further than that.
Because the second part of this course is dedicated to a very interesting phenomenon happening during our sleep, which is DREAMS. We dream every night. Even when we don’t remember that.
What we know about dreams is really quite exciting, and I will give you a tour of the main theories around.
Turns out, we have different types of dreams, which have different meanings. There is really so much to learn about ourselves, once you understand the language of dreams.
Also, I want to explore with you the pretty unique experience of lucid dreaming.
Lucid dreaming is the experience where inside your dream, you become aware that you’re actually dreaming, that you’re not in real life. I’ve explored that subject and wanted to share with you my findings, and also a way, a step-by-step guide, to experience for yourself the state of lucid dreaming. It takes some practice, but it’s really worth it.
That’s what we’re going to cover in this 90-minute course. The first part is about sleep, the second part is about dreams, and the third part is about taking control. Will you take control of your sleep?
