What Happens To Your Brain While You Sleep? | BYJU’S Fun Facts

When we sleep, our brain is awake doing important tasks. We go through different sleep stages - from light sleep to deep sleep. During these stages, we also experience something called sleep spindles and REM sleep or Rapid Eye Movement sleep. But how do all of these happen and what happens to our brain when we sleep? What are sleep cycle stages and why do we sleep?

In this video, we answer all these questions and more. After all, understanding sleep and what happens in the brain during sleep is important for us to have a good night’s sleep!

I have a question related to brain
When a person is in coma, does his or her brain still function, if not which organ takes care of the proper functioning of our body?
Also are our dreams related to the things we come across in our daily life?

The way the stomach is giving a massage to the large intestine is so cute 😂🤓

Ma'am, sometimes if I cry in my dream, there are real tears in my eyes when I wake up. I've always found this really fascinating

[strategicreviews]

Yes I do have, when we feel ourselves falling down in a dream suddenly the dream gets changed or we wake up this happens because brain doesn't know what to display after the death(I have noticed this only ) . This has happened to me tons of time .But brain🧠 is really a hero and for my brain you are the hero thankyou soo much byjus for a wonderful lesson . ❤

[shreechaturvedi]

Why is it that sometimes we feel that the particular vision that we are having at present, was somewhere exactly observed before by us?

[Goatedftbledits]

Terana mam's teaching is the best teaching that i have seen ever😱

[ojalgadpale]

I always wonder why do we dream?, but no answer in this way of teaching is amazing you so much byjus. ..❤

[IntrovertBoyz]

Once, I woke early in the morning. I started studying, but I was feeling sleepy, first I went to bed to study, then put the book aside. At this time I wanted to study, but was feeling sleepy. In this dilemma, I slept finally but after some time I felt something weird. I felt I am awake, but I wasn't able to open my eyes, not even move my body. I felt helpless and powerless, like some power has taken over me. Finally after some time I could open my eyes but it was a dreadful experience. After experiencing this thing twice, now I avoid sleeping again after waking up. The fear is still on my mind.
What could be the reason?

[sparklingsisters]

[krishankumar]

I have a question. How do we feel that we are moving in our dream and we actually fell that our muscles are moving even though they are paralyzed as u told ?.

[chaitanyagupta]

It helped me, because I forget my concepts early. Now, I'll read my concept that I don't understand easily, before the sleep.
Thank you very much mam!

[harshadesai]
