health nerds – Der Podcast über artgerechtes-leben
We received a lot of questions about the latest podcast episode: Finally sleeping well: why millions of people lie awake at night. Here in the HEALTH NERDS consultation hour, our experts from the species-appropriate science team provide answers:
“What is the best evolutionär sleeping position?”
“Is there a valid test to measure serotonin levels in the brain?”
“What do you think of taking the amino acid 5-HTP as a sleep aid?
“How quickly can sleeping pills make you addicted?
“I have had nightmares almost every night since I was a child – what can I do?
– Thank you very much for your questions on our latest podcast episode “Sleeping well at last: That's why millions of people lie awake at night”. Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team provides answers here in the consultation hour.
On the main episode: Millions of people lie awake at night, can't fall asleep or keep waking up in the middle of the night: 4 out of 5 people sleep badly! Fatal: From an evolutionary perspective, good sleep is also an important basis for our well-being and health. We clarify the most important questions: How much sleep does our body really need? Why is sleeping too much rather harmful? Where in our body is the internal clock located? What are the four phases of sleep and why is this system disturbed in many people? We also take an in-depth look at the sleep hormone melatonin: how does this master of our sleep-wake rhythm work? What biological processes should take place in our bodies to ensure we get a good night's sleep? And what are eye masks, earplugs and sleep trackers good for?After each regular episode, you can simply send us your questions via Instagram Direct Message as a voice message or text. On the following Thursday you will receive the answers in the HEALTH NERDS consultation hour.
just the way it is, health nerds – human, simply explained.
