Professor Sara C. Mednick is a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of California, Irvine and author of The Hidden Power of the Downstate (Hachette Go!, pub date: April, 2022) and Take a Nap! Change Your Life. (Workman). She is passionate about understanding how the brain works through her research into sleep and the autonomic nervous system. Dr. Mednick’s seven-bedroom sleep lab works literally around-the-clock to discover methods for boosting cognition by napping, stimulating the brain with electricity, sound and light, and pharmacology. Her lab also investigates how the menstrual cycle and aging affect the brain. Her science has been continuously federally funded (National Institute of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense Office of Naval Research, DARPA).
Dr. Mednick was awarded the Office Naval Research Young Investigator Award in 2015. Her research findings have been published in such leading scientific journals as Nature Neuroscience and The Proceedings from the National Academy of Science, and covered by all major media outlets. She received a BA from Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, in Drama/Dance. After college, her experience working in the psychiatry department at Bellevue Hospital in New York, inspired her to study the brain and how to make humans smarter through better sleep. She received a PhD in Psychology from Harvard University, and then completed a postdoc at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and UC San Diego. She resides in San Diego, CA.

I have found at the start of meditation if I tell my ego I love you but could you step aside and let my higher self take charge this seems to stop my monkey brain and it seems to work every time
Great tip!
Thank you! I’ll try this 😊
I also set intention before sleep. So restorative 😊❤
Love this idea!! I'm going to try that. ❤
Thank you for the advice sounds very kind practical and thoughtful ❤
I've been meditating for 15yrs plus after I lost my daughter it was the only way I could sleep and I learned how to quit thinking about it nonstop they're been doing it in the east for thousands of years
Take into consideration that our souls can leave our bodies at night and do work on other levels of consciousness. We go out and work with the angels and hosts of light so this is anther reason to sleep to carry on our spiritual work.
I work night shift…I am screwed!! Another way nurses give SELFLESSLY!
Sorry to say this, but shift workers do not live as long. May you buckle this trend.
Thank you to all Medical Staff if you just do 5min meditations on clearing all your chakra’s. Releasing all toxins of your day and send yourself LOVE it’s amazing how settled you become !!!!! Sometimes I feel it’s made sooo complicated just RELAX and accept then Release🦋🧚🏼
I do a 4 hour nap, 4 hour nighttime activity, and 4 hour sleep. Midnight shift 👌🏼
....yes breath work is key. And from my experience...allowing as much positive emotion to flow first thing before getting out of bed and at night or nap time affirming and setting intentions....also through laughter and or laughter yoga.. music...chanting or singing.will cultivate healthy frequency. vibration. These are before food or even water or sleep. I believe this is why am still focused in this remarkable body...after and still experiencing many " health adventures "....thank you ...and your guest. Love to all...for all...and we all are.... one love🙏💚🙋♀️💫
What an absolutely delightful guest, Sara has the loveliest energy! 🤗
Alex please share with us how you relax your mind during the meditations? Thank you
Alex, this episode was soooo informative and enlightening!! Thanks to you and your guest. Blessings.
You may only be getting 5 hours of sleep, but if you're meditating you're giving your body basically the same thing as sleep.
No you are not 😂
@user-xu4xj2cd2j Yes, you are. Note that Kent said "your body." You are for the mind, IN SOME ASPECTS, and to lesser degrees, but it still helps. Also keep in mind that there are several methods and types of meditation, including areas such as astral projection.
@@marcusprince3999 I agree that mediating helps the body but it doesn't help anywhere near as much as the right amount of sleep
Exactly! When I meditate for 1-1.5 hrs, I usually feel awake, but still get REM, light and often even deep sleep. Love this biohack :)
Deep delta is when body healing takes place. You sure about your assertion?
Bravo for bringing the idea of breath into our conversation❤
I'd say it's all about the balance of movement and repose.
I am not overweight, I’m a long sleeper and I only eat at night right before bed it makes me fal asleep quicker and I don’t have any issues. Maybe eating is different for everyone too?
I absolutely believe this. My family and I always ate before bed and slept great. However, I lived with my in laws for two years and their whole family SWEARS they have to eat two to three hours before bed or they can’t sleep.
@@saltybaelv so glad to hear that I’m not the only one 💜
I'm getting those glasses! 😎 and the book, this was so informative, thank you both! Ok, it's 9:30 pm, lights out, deep breathing.. Sweet dreams y'all. 😴
I wonder if you could also interview Antony William the medical medium, about brain saver and spiritual wars? That would go viral
I wonder why Alex hasn’t interviewed Anthony William yet?
Excellent interview!! Valuable information for our health! Thanks Alex!
Dear Alex, you mentioned you are obsessed with gut health and the microbiome... please interview Dr. Zach Bush. Even though this video here is an old one, hopefully you'll still read current comments. Thanks!
It's almost 11pm over here in Taiwan. I'll continue listening tomorrow. Gotta sleep earlier.
Taiwan #1
1.00am in my country. 🌴 But if it's an NLS upload I'm not going to bed!
Me 😂
@@Mantras-and-Mysticsthat might change now that you've watched this video 😂
Lol
Super interesting! Thank you!
Thank you Alex and guest!
This was great. Thank you both!
Great information! Thank you so much!
Amazing info! Thank you!❤
Great topic, guest and conversation thank you 😊
There is theory that those who meditate need less sleep
My mother always maintained the sleep you get before midnight was more beneficial
Good to hear . Thank you
I truly enjoyed this video. The information is very useful, thank you!
Thank you, good talk
Really interesting, thank you again Alex & Sara 🙏❤️
I’m curious how sleep meds affect this. If I don’t medicate up I think I’d never sleep.
I love this! Thank you both!❤❤
Another great guest. Very interesting. Thank you both 💖🙏🏼😊
Alex! I was in the middle of eating breakfast when the conversation about poop transfer started! 🤣
I love the image of getting through the waves (of thoughts) to the peaceful sea. I'll use that one at the start of meditation. Thanks.
❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much my Awesome Cosmic Soul for the guidance ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks again
Lot's of good ideas. Thank you ❤😊
I love how you both explored all angles and possibilities of amount, quality and type of sleep. Great show ❤
Thank You ✨💜✨
You just started your show telling your audience (those in 40s -50s) will get demensia bc they aren't sleeping well. Well that's not depressing!
Don't you like knowing so you can change your patterns?
*None
Reality is not depressing. But you can choose to react this way... ❤
I read meditation can add 10 years to your life.
True, because we detach from the stress, the ego and the outer world that stimulates the brain to release the bad chemicals such as cortisol when we meditate.
My step father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 55. He had long term sleep apnea that was never diagnosed until he began having the mental decline. This sounds like proof that the sleep apnea caused the Az. 😢
Yes, but comorbities may have contributed - concussions, tbi's, trauma and genetic expression.
I meditate regularly and sleep between 7/9 hours .
This interview has such helpful information. Sara is great. Thank you. (I’m still laughing at repoopulating!) 😊
The problem with food in the US is the use of pesticides and the water that affects negatively our gut flora
I have heard sungazing helps with sleep 😴 thank you for this information 🙏 lovely speaker ❤
❤❤❤❤ I put my earphones on with rain and thunder ❤❤❤ puts me right to speak ❤❤❤ waves also work
I love sleeping I can do it anywhere
Can you tell us exactly how you get into this state Alex. Also do you sit. Can you lay down to meditate.
Excelente ❤
Great video.. GLAD your read my mind... Thank you for manifesting my request to spirit:-) lol my EGO may be having me type this message. Appreciate your work! Enjoy your day!
😅
I need 10 hours 😴😃💖
What about international air crew that don’t get enough sleep. Hotel, ship crew, etc etc etc .
My mom has insomnia for 20+ years. Wish I knew how to help her 😢😢
I currently use THC infused edibles to induce sleep. Works well for sleep but it really dries out the eyes and mouth, sometimes to the point of waking me up because I cat swallow. I have had chronic insomnia since menopause, about 15 years now. Hypothyroidism and fatty liver (non alcoholic) add to the issues. I also have vagus nerve issues that affect both my heart and stomach. 😔
May god heal you and you feel the love of god
@brenda you sound like me. It is so frustrating. May we both find relief soon.
What is your diet? I’m curious now! It’s hard for me to fall sleep
Ma’am, how old is this show? I wish you would post the original show date.
Unrelated to this topic. Alex, have you ever talked with Jain?
I'm curious what it means for people who have sleep paralysis?
Discover the bright words from Darius Wright
Try TM Alex 😉
Anyone any way to fix severe sleep apnea....thank you all.
I sleep 4-5 hours. With meds.
What about those people who eat later in the evening and stay up quite late, as in Spain. Any studies done on this culture?
Hi Alex, did I understand that right, you go to bed around 22h and get up at 5h?
There’s plenty off off the shelf supplements negate and reverse these mental issues. It’s not just sleep. 🤔
If you listen to subliminals at night, does your body and mind still restore as they should?
Great question!
I would love to know this too!
@@kellylouiseauthor8806 I just listen to different subliminals you can find on KZhead. Search under what you want to achieve.
Yes
My boyfriend sleeps constantly. What I mean is that he will be in bed for 3 to 4 days that he’ll only get out of bed to relieve himself or eat. He is 57 and retired and at our last check up, he scored better in his cholesterol levels as well as sugar levels than myself and I’m 50. Also he drinks tons of Mountain Dew and can really put away the ice cream. Yet I rarely indulge and I’m the one who’s prediabetic. I’m totally active and he’s obviously not. Why is it that he’s more healthy? Both of us are confused in this issue. Not even our doctor understands it.
Genetics❤
Maybe he is Just happy 😂
Cortisol
It may have something to do with where he travels during his sleep.
Lol, the day length on Mars is 1 Earth day and 37 minutes, so not much adjusting required. 🤣 Venus and Mercury on the other hand.... (243 Earth days and 176 Earth days).
"Repoopulating"
What say U Alex? Rebuttal ?
WHEN I SLEEP, I SLEEP HARD AND DONT HEAR STORM OR ANYTHING . 7 TO 8 HOURS.
Me too!
You lucky people
I'd need 2 hours nap, usually, maybe if do try less nap. But currently figuring out if lil one is done w naps and just my luck, and I'm now 37 and still can say can sleep 10 plus hours. I'm a child still growing esp spiritual we all are some way!
What is the percentage of people that are just Nappy?
The glymphatic system is no joke...
What's with the scary music at the start of the video?
It is to let viewers know they are inclined towards fear and need to meditate more :)
@@thehealingvortex❤
‼️‼️‼️ Plase call again Aaron Abke to your podcast. He is SIMPLY AMAZING!!! 4th dimension’s teacher!!! People will be amazed. ‼️‼️‼️‼️
I hope she can do some research on meditation and Alzheimer’s disease.
If I’m not mistaken, the Martian day is only 37 minutes longer than an Earth day. For anyone who really wanted to know 😊
What is “old school”? Because meditation is older. 🙂
How does siestas fit into this?
Funny how your most visible book says AWAKE!
LOL! I wish I coukd nap durning the day.. I'd be fired.
Non napper here 😂
Firefighters run around all night. Has anybody studied the effects of this?
Any one who works nights is at much higher risk of all health problems❤
They should study how working shifts affects people. Good suggestion.😊
Im fukd!!!!!
Me too…😞
I sleep 3 to 4 hrs.
Me😂
I'd just love to ask age ways sleep walk grow out but add dopamine? Choc cheese alcohol I'm sleep waking talking etc all over again. As again explain my anomalies and sleep way self!!
Me too!!!
You are ignoring blue light toxicity, your exposure to non-native EMF, lack of sun light and natural red light. So with short sleepers 4 hours is not enough.
Sounds like to me , really don’t know much , about nothing .!
Funded by DAARPA - that’s leery
We dont need 1 hour for this. This could have been a 1 minute video just with facts. Any shorter video?
Alex, you look so pale! Hope u r ok.
So this channel is about people who sell books like many others...
