GMM 522: Real Life Sleeping Beauty

sleeping just got a whole lot more complicated let’s talk about that good mythical more nice sleep we all do it we personally love it I would sleep but pretty much non-stop if I could but that’s not an option cuz I gotta have a life you know gotta make things happen you don’t have to I need don’t I guess uh but just out but sleep here if you if and I’ll keep this thing going I’ll wake you up if I need you guys yeah we need to get a like I put AB every other episode from now on one of us is gonna be asleep probably not a good change to the show we’ll talk about that but sleep obviously is important there’s all these studies about you know you need to get eight hours a day and it makes or night if you fall asleep at night hey guys the water to during the day and it changes everything your body’s repairing itself and it helps you live longer right but it’s something we take for granted being able to sleep normally and there are all these sleep disorders people have we’re gonna get into some crazy sleep disorders before this thing is over when they go to bed at night it isn’t just like oh I’m going to sleep no biggie see you in the morning it gets pretty bad so we’ve each got some of these bizarre sleep disorders let’s let’s give it a go you first okay um I want to start with one that I actually have suffered from I haven’t suffered from this in the past five years or so but sleep paralysis so I used to suffer from this a lot now the phenomenon where you are kind of in between sleep and awake can happen when you’re going to sleep most often happens when I was waking up I would realize that I was awake I could sense my surroundings I could sense if someone was in my room but your eyes are closed eyes are closed and I cannot move cannot move and I become overwhelmed with the sensation I want to move I want to break and I like try to move my hand try to move my arm and then finally get out and I’m waking in a wake-up and it is very scary you cannot some people say you can just go back to sleep I’ve never been able to do that if I experienced this I have to move and you start freaking out you know causes it uh there’s lots of different ideas they say it could be insomnia could be sleep sleep deprivation erratic sleep schedule stress overuse of stimulates physical fatigue some medications that are used to treat ADHD can cause it but you’re like han Solo like you’re you feel like you feel frozen and it happened a lot as a teenager and then it happened a lot in my 20s and I have not really experienced it in my 30s I don’t think maybe it’s because I haven’t been on a more regular sleep schedule because I’ve had children so it’s like the opposite of an out-of-body experience it’s a trapped in your body it’s experience sleep paralysis sounds horrible but that’s pretty taint it’s it is bad and it could be really bad for some people but it’s not as bad as what we’re going to get into here’s an interesting one kleine-levin syndrome aka sleeping beauty syndrome can you imagine this is a rare neurological disorder where you would sleep 15 to 21 hours a day for a few weeks straight spending most of your time asleep asleep you wake up for 3 hours of the day for four for two to three weeks I mean it’s kind of like the guy who hibernated for 25 years we talked about in a previous episode except not by choice you just find yourself sleeping the whole time and then you have a couple of those episodes a year for like ten years that’s what happens and you have this it’s extremely rare one in a million people and it’s called sleeping beauty but 70% of people who suffer from this are men men can be beauties and in the three hours that you’re awake you have strange altered behavior like xx excessive appetite unusual food cravings yeah because you got to get it all in like a bear pickle juice ice cream float with beef jerky we’re waking up from a hibernation I mean you got to make those three hours count hyperdrive for intimacy yeah you got to connect because you’ve been in the dream world and you sometimes act very childlike yeah cuz you’re happy you’re awake I’m kind of trying to come up with the hub now all the reason it’s it’s kind of like you’re you’re groggy is basically what happens but I mean yeah like a toddler when you wake up you know how weird food you’re sleepwalking it’s kind of like that you’re kind of in this groggy kind of a but like this is a rare disorder this isn’t something that and there is no no cure or treatment for sleeping beauty syndrome you keep kitten the key they tried the kisses that didn’t work okay well actually don’t know if that it gets worse exploding head syndrome that sounds this sounds fun fun this is not an actual exploding head which would not be a syndrome would just be an incident and life would be over this is a bad heading a form of hypnagogic auditory hallucination hypnagogic is not a word is the state between awake and asleep where sleep paralysis happens hypnagogic and Maga jerk you can use that with your friends at parties link and I you like to use a big words at parties this party is so boring it’s like a hypnagogic state this person when they’re trying to go to sleep or their waking up in that hypnagogic state they hear bangs loud bangs it can be characterized as like a door slamming or a gun going off or a bomb exploding different things but they are these loud bangs which they hear it’s an auditory hallucination that’s not really happening is just happening in their brain and their mind and they’re a company with a flash of light and this happens and you know it varies from person to person but it can be something that every night they go to sleep for a period of time they can suffer from these hallucinations it’s like an explosion in your head yes it’s there’s an explosion in your head and again there’s no known cure for this it’s not dangerous but it’s incredibly terrifying to the people who are experiencing it as you can imagine it’s like you’re in a war zone in your in your own bed yeah they don’t and they don’t even really know what causes it isn’t like you go to do time and war and then you come back and you’ve got this I mean I guess that could cause it was it common or no these are these are all rare these these ones we’re trying to get accept sleep rather paralysis is pretty pretty common alright this one this one’s kind of tough fatal familial insomnia you can die from lack of sleep you can die from insomnia and that’s what this is this disease has four stages that happen over 18 months let me walk you through the unfunded first four months increasing insomnia leads to panic attacks paranoia phobias next five months hallucinations next three months complete inability to sleep at all which translates into rapid weight loss the next since six months dementia you become unresponsive and mute and then you die I mean this is this is bad Sajjad a happy ending this is extremely rare and it is genetic so if one parent has it you have a 50% chance of getting it that’s the bad news is its genetic is incurable the good news is it makes a great episode of Law & Order SVU or the Ghost Whisperer is that where they put it on there oh they put it on there they put it on there they put it on both right now they put it on there they put it on the TV show documented in only 40 families so it’s extremely great that’s unfortunate and so is sudden unexpected nocturnal death syndrome oh really because that sounds great this sounds like something happens while camping you know like with a grizzly or just die this is a dining your son expected nocturnal death syndrome or an owl no but this is not an animal killing you i camping this is sudden unexpected death of adolescents and adults often during sleep it is accompanied with screaming moaning frothing of the mouth other signs of terror just before death occurs and it is a possum possible to wake somebody up at this point now you may say this sounds like mumbo-jumbo what are you talking about people dying in their sleep like this it’s happened but it is most common in Southeast Asian males it affects one study shows it affects 43 per 100,000 young Filipino men Wow I mean Kizzy you say well I want to die in my sleep but now I’m second-guessing no no this is not the kind of death that you want experienced in your sleep and they usually when they do like an autopsy they find that they died of heart failure but because it has all this frothing at the mouth and there’s all this superstition accompanied with it as if it’s you know maybe there’s an evil spirit involved that’s killing these dudes in it remains a mystery the cause of it remains a mystery and there is really no treatment for it and it’s not the kind of thing you can anticipate tonight I think I’m going to suffer from sudden unexpected nocturnal death syndrome stay by my bedside you eat tonight you’re going to suffer for something with the word unexpected in the title Yeah right yeah exactly it’s unexpected that it was sudden expected or not really that sudden affecting nocturnal death syndrome maybe we could do something about it well this episode is potentially kind of a downer but I will say this is very fascinating yeah in it and I’m looking at sleep in a totally different way if you suffer from one of these our heart goes out to you yeah and for the majority of us who don’t uh when you lay your pretty little head on that your mushy little head hello tonight you’ve got five more things to be thankful for hashtag blessed thanks for
