Icebath before SLEEPING?!
I'm doing Coldshowers and Icebaths in the early morning hours for years now. 2 Months ago I tried it out before going to bed and surprisingly it works great for me, feeling more calm and relaxed. I always thought that cold exposure in the late evening disrupts your sleep. Is there any data or mechanism that supports my positive experience?
Transcripts
I really enjoy having transcripts because after I listen to a podcast I like to go back and read them and take notes as well. Unfortunately, there are a lot of transcripts that aren't available, which is a little sad because the transcripts that find to be most helpful for me are the toolkit episodes. I was wondering why there aren't transcripts for those episodes or why they're not available? I really don't enjoy reading things off of a screen because I to have it right there and I can make any notes that I want. That's also a huge reason I pre-ordered your book, which I am super excited to read! Thank you for all of the information you give us! It's helped me immensely!
When during the sleep cycle do nightmare occur?
As a US Army veteran and soon to be retired, first responder, I struggle with PTSD and night terrors. I have learned a lot, listening to your podcasts, and I greatly appreciate what you do. I was wondering when during the sleep cycle do nightmares occur? I know from personal experiences that my night terrors can occur various times of the night Recently, I Believe I heard you mention that REM usually occurs near the end of the sleep cycle.
Using light technology to enhance sleep
Helight, a company in the US, uses red light therapy to put you to sleep at night. They claim to be based on NASA studies. This goes against what you’ve always said that ANY light in the evening disrupts sleep. Do you agree with their claim that specific wavelengths of red light can in-fact aide sleep?
