Featuring: house boats, murder scenes, oceans, backpacks, and a number of apocalypses.

Medicinal Sleep Aids

  • Ambien
    • an oral sedative and a nonbenzodiazepine
    • does not cause racism
    • helps you fall asleep more quickly, but isn't intended to help you stay asleep
    • a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist, meaning it encourages production of GABA in the brain
    • Ambien has some hypnotic side effects
    • Ambien can cause dependence
    • In very rare cases, Ambien has had some cognition-improving effect on individuals who have experienced brain damage.
  • Antihistamines
    • work by reducing or blocking histamines
      • histamines are little chemicals created by your body that attach to histamine receptors on certain cells in your body
      • histamine is created in the brain in histamine neurons. Histamine promotes wakefulness in the brain and is very effective at doing so.
      • histamine acts on H1 receptors in the hypothalamus of the brain.
    • antihistamines wiggle their way into the brain and keep histamine from connecting with those receptors, so your brain is like, "OK, time for sleeping now."
    • newer, non-drowsy antihistamines affect the H2 receptors in the brain or don't cross the blood brain barrier at all.
  • Melatonin
    • Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in our brain. It’s referred to as “the sleep hormone.”
    • Melatonin production is controlled by the Suprachiasmatic Nuclei
      • this magical region of the brain in the hypothalamus is connected to our eyesight and there are photosensitive cells in the nuclei.
      • it's responsible for regulating our 24-hour circadian rhythm.
      • between the neurons and the hormones it activates, it uses about 20,000 neurons to keep our shit running like clockwork.
    • Melatonin helps kick your Stage 1 sleep into gear. You start to feel less alert and want to go to sleep.
    • Melatonin production changes with time.
      • shorter periods of production in the summer, longer periods in winter
      • melatonin production drops with age, too.
    • Studies show that Melatonin is a great coach for our body’s natural sleep-wake cycles.
    • it may also shorten the time it takes you to fall asleep
    • it may also improve sleep quality and increase amount of sleep overall
    • Scientists at Ontario’s University of Guelph found that in more than 71 percent of melatonin supplements, the amount of melatonin was more than 10 percent different from what the product label indicated.
      • some products contained as much as 83 percent less melatonin than was on the label
      • other products contained as much as 478 percent more melatonin than was on the label
  • Rozerem
    • a melatonin agonist, meaning it encourages production of melatonin in the brain
    • the only prescription sleep medication not classified as a controlled substance
    • most don’t get the groggy hangover feeling you can sometimes get from other prescription sleep aids
    • OK for long-term use, unlike drugs like Ambien
    • as a prescription medication, it's held to higher standards and regulated better than something like melatonin supplements

Featuring: space, dead bodies, wizards, smart home tech, and drama club.

Dreams in Mythology

  • Greek & Roman Mythology
    • Oneiroi: Morpheus, Phobetor, and Phantasos
    • Dreams are messages from the gods.
  • Norse Mythology
    • Dreams can predict the future.
    • Dreams are messages from the gods.
    • Dreams are a way to speak with mystical beings.
  • Egyptian Mythology
    • Egyptian dream dictionaries were among the first examples of dream interpretation.
    • Dreams were sorted between good omens and bad omens.
  • Hawaiian Mythology
    • Dreams are "soul sleep," a time to communicate with one's ancestral guardians.
    • Dreams can teach us songs, dances, cures for ailments, and provide us with guidance.
  • Japanese Mythology
    • The Baku is a mostly benevolent dream devourer shaped from a bear, elephant, and ox. It will eat away one's nightmares.
  • Nightmares
    • Nightmares aren't dark, spooky horses. Mares are a mythological fiend that rests on the chest of sleeping victims, suffocating them.
    • Many, many languages have a word for nightmare that uses "mare" as its root.
    • It was believed that sage, blessed amulets, the Baku, a dreamcatcher, a prayer, a worry doll, and more could ward off nightmares.

Dreams

  • Listener Markus: A dream about space, dead bodies, competence, and, perplexingly, a kitten in a fish bowl.
  • Listener Brian: A dream about a whimsical wizard that loves to talk about smart home tech — particularly his smart trash can and smart sewing machine.
  • Listener Wei: A dream about drama club, sponsorship, leadership, and anxiety.
