Sleep Experts Debunk 13 More Sleep Myths | Debunked | Science Insider

[joaopedrosa]

they're so experts at sleep that their voices almost made me want to go to bed

[Nillz]

"Wake up as late as you possibly can" is the only part I choose to take away from this video.

[Kai-hvrn]

“The ideal time for napping is 20 minutes, ”


Me who sleeps for 5 hours and calls it a nap 🧍🏻‍♀️

[taitrieu]

There is also paradoxical insomnia where someone thinks they’re awake but are actually sleeping most of the night

[fatcat]

Her voice, tone, pronunciation, annunciation, crystal clear & smooth delivery is just perfect.
No likes, no buts, no umms, no filler words.
Just flawless.
I wud pay thousands to take speech and voice lessons from her.

Average person: "He died peacefully in his sleep"
Sleep doctor: "He suffocated to death due to untreated sleep apnea"

[Turtle]

These people have the most relaxing voices of all time o my LORD

[simslovealot]

I really wish this idea of night owls being a real thing was more common knowledge and widely accepted. As a night owl, my ideal wake up time is 8am and then get ready slowly and start work around 10:30-11, finish work around 6-7pm, have dinner, and then do some hobbies until midnight/1ish. But with full time 9-5 work, I have to be up before 7, and have eaten breakfast and be out of the house by 8 to start work at 9. It really doens't work for me and I genuinely believe it's lead to me being depressed and unable to relax because I always feel like whenever I get up late that I'm wasting time.

As a night shifter, I can confirm this world is absolutely built to force a morning-day productivity schedule. What a world it would be if everything was open all the time and the people who were more productive later could work those shifts. Imagine what a boost in productivity we'd see across all types.

[_PDream]

Some people are meant to be in their profession and these two have the voice to be in this path. I love it

[CubanRider]

Found the fix to my snooze problem; set it to every 20 minutes so I can take at least 3 ideal naps in the time it takes me to get up. Thanks!

[istantoomanykpopgroups]

These two brings me at peace. The man sounds so kind and gentle I’d feel like I can trust him. And the lady’s tone and energy is literally like a sunshine. They are both amazing and did an amazing job!

[antidowt]

This woman needs her own sleeping podcast. Her voice is very soothing.

[veryberry]

I like these two a lot. A bunch of the other experts they've had on here sound so snarky and smug when they're debunking things, and it really puts me off. These two were so nice!

[paganlecter]

Rebecca sounds like a professional narrator

[maddienguyen]

Thank you for debunking the myth about night owls. For years, I have been patronised for sleeping and waking up late. This has made feel bad about myself and I ended up internalising the notion that I simply have bad habits or a bad lifestyle, which inside, I truly did not believe about myself. This society IS in favour of early birds and it will always be a continuous struggle for night owls to navigate and compromise their schedules and plans. In an ideal world, our society should function to serve both kinds!

[clairespades]

I desperately need these two to tell me its gonna be alright on loop

[sonnyaugust]

You can tell that she gets enough sleep everyday

[SightSoreEyes]

I like how harmonious and in-sync these two are.

[serpentine]

Me: Yes, yes I absolutely agree.

Also me: *watching this at 3:34 am with a terrible ADHD sleep cycle*
