Great stuff, as always ... but I have to correct you on something. REM is the lightest stage of sleep, not the deepest. In the deep restorative stage, you get the twitches and spells of sleepwalking and talking, but when in REM, the body is actually paralyzed to prevent the acting out of one's dreams. But that's when someone is actually closest to being awake.

For humans, Rem sleep is the fourth and final stage of sleep, which comes in rounds. But it is in fact the deepest "stage" of sleep. Your body is at its lowest point of activity, as where your brain can fluctuate.

@shadowjewel

I thought that it's a failure in the paralysis mechanism during REM sleep that causes sleep walking and sleep talking, and similar, as the body reacts to what the brain is dreaming. As far as I was aware, in dreamless sleep, that kind of activity isn't there for the body to act on.

As in a sleep study showed it takes me about ten minutes to fall asleep, 10 more and I’m already in REM and stay there for the entire 8 hours, no rising and falling through the other stages once I reach it. I wake up to turn over or use the bathroom and in 10 minutes I’ve fallen back asleep and straight into REM, bypassing the other stages.

And 3. Dogs are known commonly to be used for emotional support for ourselves as well as other animals. So the idea of a dog having a nightmare and audibly "whining" as it's lying there asleep, and the others come in to comfort it is not only something that we can commonly observe dogs specifically doing for many different creatures. But even in the footage we see here, it is very blatantly what's happening. Also side note: Next Time make sure you actually know what your talking about before you accuse *me* of doing something.

Makes me wonder if prehistoric marine reptiles like ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, and plesiosaurs slept in a similar fashion to cetaceans. For that matter, I imagine a lot of herbivorous dinosaurs could sleep standing up for the same reasons prey animals today do.

Probably. A good general rule of thumb is that extinct animals in similar niches to modern animals probably behaved very similarly. Yes, that means a Tyrannosaurus probably slept most of the day like a Lion.

Correction: REM sleep is the lightest stage of sleep, followed by N1, N2 and then N3 as the deepest. The EEG pattern of REM closely resembles that of wakefullness and is the phase where vivid dreams are had.

Alright, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thought that was an error. IIRC, a typical night's sleep pattern goes something like: Awake -> N1 -> N2 -> N3/N4 -> N2 -> N1 (-> REM -> N1 -> N2 -> N3/N4 -> N2 -> N1) x4 -> Awake

I've had it where when sleep deprived long enough, what starts to happen is you have uncontrollable day dreams that start to blind into your "reality" so comes a point of you don't know what's real or not, but while in that state the day dreams are real and its not until you snap out of it fully that you realize it's not.

Special mention goes to the hummingbird, an animal with the highest metabolism out of any vertebrate, that spends most of the day on a constant sugar rush and the rest of it in a sugar crash, lowering their body temperature by over 50% and their heart rate going from 1000 bpm while awake to anywhere between 180 and 50 while in torpor.

As a child I once managed to fall asleep for about almost 18 hours without waking up. Went to sleep at around 9pm, next time I woke up was 3pm the next day. Idk why or how this happened though. It was at my grandmas place and when I woke up she was out for a walk. After she came back even she said she was glad I was awake cause she was starting to worry. To this day I just guess my body somehow needed that much rest during that time. Just wanted to share this funny little story about sleeping for so long since this video is about sleep as well Also i apologize if there are any grammar or spelling mistakes cause english isn’t my first language. Have a wonderful day/night everyone^^

Fun(ish) fact: People who are suffering from depression and anxiety spend more time in REM sleep than average, which is probably why they often report having very weird vivid dreams. On that note, I should probably tell my psychologist that I'm still having weird vivid dreams again...

I love these videos. The smoothness of the metaphors and the amount of information that is presented in a way that is not only entertaining, but also memorable makes this the best channel I’ve watched that does animal related content. I’mma go take a nap. Who knew seeing animals sleep is contagious?

As someone with both chronic intermittent insomnia, and delayed sleep phase disorder (first melatonin release is hours later at night than normal for an adult), microsleeps are annoying when at home, and terrifying in public. I've had my brain trigger them while standing, while holding conversation, while eating... and the more stressed it makes you the worse they get.

I have Chronic Fatigue and use to have micro-sleeps a lot, it was terrifying getting micro sleep in school because I was always a good student before and had never fallen asleep, trying to fight it and not being able to still haunts me. What was confusing was that I use to get it even after 9 hours of sleep so I didn’t understand what it was, but now I’m aware that I need closer to 13-16 hours of sleep to feel awake.

I’ve always had terrible insomnia, I regularly stay awake for 2 or 3 days at a time. He’s right, stuff gets weird around day 3. Visual hallucinations of shadow people or seeing vaguely human shaped things moving around in your peripheral vision. Auditory hallucinations such as hearing whispering or singing when there’s no one around. Even when you know it’s not real, it’s pretty freaky.

I think its more wild that the Tardigrades lifespan is between 2 months and 2 years depending on the particular species but that it can literally just kinda go basically irls version of afk for like literally longer than any other species on earth and then just come back whenever they feel like it even if that time spent afk is longer than its actual lifespan.

More proof that tardigrades are very broken. Good point though, most microbes have very short lifespans so one that's gone into suspended animation could skip over a thousand generations of its own kind potentially, wonder how that works for species compatibility since they can essentially timeskip forward, or maybe they're already not genetically complex enough for mutations to have that big of an impact between multiple generations? Idk but now I'm kinda curious about how that works, like has anyone tried letting a sample population continue on as normal but put a portion of them into that state for a few years then reintroduced the ones that had gone into suspended animation into the original population to see if any changes occured, or am I the only one that's thought about it? Wondering because shorter lived creatures can see variation occure over a few generations but idk about super small creatures, how stable their genetics actually are compared to more complex species
