00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 A new book by a neuroscientist sheds some additional light on

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06 the sleep cycle and

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09 why it's so hard to ramp down sometimes.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 Tune in for more.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15 Hello,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:23 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:32 MOMO 634 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:51 I get a lot of mental health and neuroscience news in my inbox daily.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 Today I came across a blurb about a new book by Matthew Walker

00:00:57 --> 00:00:57 entitled,

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 Why We Sleep.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:00 In it,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05 the neuroscientist deconstructs the sleep cycle and states that,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:05 quote,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 the brain needs time to transition,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 end quote,

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11 into a sleep mode,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 much like a car needs to downshift gears.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 He also invokes visualizations,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 much like our recent guided imagery episode,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:29 His tips all back up the science discussed here at momo634.com

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30 frequently,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34 particularly in the episode Dream a Little Dream,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37 which deconstructs the stages of sleep,

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41 and the cruciality and timing of each,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46 as well as the episodes on sleep hygiene and brainwaves,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51 as in the episodes on binaural beats and background noise to

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52 get to sleep.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57 Those episodes deconstruct the science of alpha,

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58 beta,

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59 delta,

00:01:59 --> 00:01:59 gamma,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:00 and theta waves.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:09 I'll link those episodes below this one at momo634.com as well

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10 as a video snippet

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11 from Dr.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14 Walker with his sleep tips from the book.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20 God created a mechanism for us to get rest as fuel.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23 It may take effort.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 Trust me, I know this.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:32 But we can get to where we need to be if we can put the work in.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36 Be sure to chime in with your thoughts.
