The Sheekey Science Show | Healthy sleep and how to get it. @TheSheekeyScienceShow | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Sleep is a non-negotiable biological state required for the maintenance of human life. Much like how we need water, food, oxygen, we also need sleep. But why, what happens when we sleep, what is good sleep health and what strategies can be employed to achieve this? Well, hello and welcome to The Sheekey Science Show where we will discuss all 3 of these questions in this weeks video. Why, because it is interesting of course, but also because, many reviews came out in science last week, or the week before, on the topic and I thought I’d share some of the interesting points from them. For example we will talk about the importance of memory consolidation and waste clearance (such as amyloid beta and tau) from the brain during sleep. And then bonus, at the end, I’ll share some tips that help me sleep.
