20:56Now PlayingEvery night when you fall asleep, you become clinically psychotic. That is the claim from Dr. Matthew Walker, Professor of Neuroscience at UC Berkeley and one of the world's leading sleep experts. Before you reject the diagnosis, he presents five reasons.
First, you start seeing things that are not there. You are hallucinating. Second, you believe things that could not possibly be true. You are delusional. Third, you become confused about time, place, and person. You are disoriented. Fourth, your emotions swing wildly from one extreme to another. You are emotionally labile. And fifth, you wake up and forget most or all of it. You are suffering from amnesia. If you experienced any one of those five symptoms while awake, you would seek psychological help. But during REM sleep, it is a normal biological and psychological process.
Discover:
• Why you become clinically psychotic every night (five symptoms)
• How REM sleep acts as "overnight therapy" by stripping emotion from memories
• The only time in 24 hours when your brain's stress chemical completely shuts off
• Why PTSD nightmares are a broken record and how a blood pressure drug accidentally cured them
• Image Rehearsal Therapy: how to rewrite your nightmares permanently
• Why losing the last 2 hours of sleep means losing 50 to 70% of your REM sleep
• The simplest way to get more REM sleep (just 15 minutes longer)
