5. Your brain repeats thousands of thoughts! ✨
6. Short term memory can last between 20-30 seconds. 🙎‍♀️
7. Humans don’t only use 10% of their brain! (When sleeping we use more than 10%). 💤
8. Some headaches are a result of chemical levels changing! 😰
9. It is imposible to multitask! (It’s called context-switching)! 🤷‍♀️
10. Naps improve our brain’s performance! 🌙

Extra fact: yawning helps calm down your brain (as sleep deprivation increases the temp. of your brain).

I’ve been studying for medical school and yet I didn’t know a few of these facts. I found the time attention one the most fascinating. Great video! ☺️

I'm glad that despite the whole 'wholesome and positive' aesthetic that you guys share some of the darker sides to brain function in this video. You showed us the whole picture without sugar coating it too much and I appreciate that, keep it up!

To the *incredible person* seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
