Dream sleep takes sting out of painful memories
They say time IN REM SLEEP heals wounds.
Research conducted at UC Berkeley reveals that REM sleep alleviates the distress associated with painful memories by processing emotional experiences and diminishing stress chemistry.

They say time heals all wounds, and new research from UC Berkeley indicates that time spent in dream sleep can help. UC Berkeley researchers have found that during the dream phase of sleep, also known as REM sleep, our stress chemistry shuts down and the brain processes emotional experiences and tak...

🎶 Did you know singing can boost your immunity?
When you sing, your body releases endorphins and reduces stress hormones, helping strengthen your immune system. So belt out your favorite tune—it’s good for your health!

Singing produces measurable physical effects. It has been found to improve people's heart rate and blood pressure. Singing in groups or choirs has even been found to boost our immune function in ways that simply listening to the same music cannot.

From boosting the brain to reducing pain, joining others in song can bring some wide-ranging benefits.

Did you know? 💤 Getting enough sleep isn’t just about feeling rested—it’s a key player in your immune health!
During deep sleep, your body produces and releases important proteins and antibodies that help fight infections. 🛡️
When you’re well-rested, vaccines work even better because your immune system is primed to respond.
So, if you choose to get vaccinated, before your next shot, make sure you prioritize a good night’s sleep—it’s one of the simplest ways to boost your protection! ✅
Sleep well. Stay strong. 💪
Imagine what sleep does naturally as well.

A new meta-analysis on the relationship between sleep duration and the immune response to vaccination found less than six hours of sleep per night was associated with a strong reduction in the antibody response.

You have a final 🧐tomorrow, do you pull an all nighter to cram a little more ☕️ or do you sleep 💤🛌

Why Pulling an All-Nighter Can Wreck Your Ability to Learn
Matthew Walker’s MRI research reveals something striking: when you skip sleep, your brain’s ability to absorb new information drops dramatically.
✅ After a full night’s sleep, the hippocampus—the brain’s “memory inbox”—lights up when learning new material.
❌ After an all-nighter? That same region goes almost dark. It’s like trying to save files to a hard drive that’s offline.

Why does this happen?
Sleep isn’t just rest; it’s an active process that resets your brain for learning. Without it, the hippocampus can’t effectively store new memories, and your ability to retain information plummets by up to 40%.

Takeaway: If you’re cramming for an exam or prepping for a big presentation, skipping sleep is the worst strategy. A solid night’s rest is the ultimate performance enhancer for your brain.🧠

Sleep expert Matthew Walker explains why all nighters are detrimental to your health and why you should never pull an all nighter.Watch the full talk: https:...

Sleep 🛏️ My wife is currently listening to Matthew Walker's book, “Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams,” which explores the subject of sleep. I recall reading James Nestor's book, “Breathe - The New Science of a Lost Art.” I believe both individuals convey a complementary message about these fundamental human functions that we often take for granted, yet underestimate their profound impact on our health.

Sleep is your life-support system and Mother Nature's best effort yet at immortality, says sleep scientist Matt Walker. In this deep dive into the science of...

When do you normally make your bed🛏️? Right away, many of our parents taught us to do that. However, there may be a rationale for waiting until after you shower and dress.

Making your bed right away might not be the wisest idea. Experts share how dust mites thrive in post-sleep conditions—and why waiting to make your bed could be better for your health.
