Dreams

If you listen to podcasts while sleeping, does this alter your dreams?

Go to sleep earlier if lose an hour

If you know you will lose an hour of sleep based on normal sleep schedule (wake at 5am vs normal 6am), is going to bed an hour earlier (sleep at 9pm vs 10pm) helpful? Asking based on QQRT model.

How to use what we know about eyeballs and any other body responses/reflexes to the stimulus of an attack to a person?

Since as you had said that eyes are each a "brain", how do I use that knowledge in self-protection or martial arts combat? Would that mean I can respond to a sudden attack faster than if the eyes are not each a "brain"? What about the flinch reflex? Is the flinch reflex any faster for a visual stimulus than for an auditory stumulus, as the research on the flinch reflex commonly applies to an auditory stimulus? Does the flinch reflex always come from electrical signals coming from the same place -- the brainstem? In any case, what if anything is different between the physiological and mental response to different pathways of stimuli, whether they be auditory, visual, or any other venues of stimuli that illicit a response to an attack to a person?

Adderall and sleep

How does Adderall affect our ability to access deep and REM sleep? Does vitamin C eliminate it from our bodies?

Proctology

Not for an AMA, but a topic that may be covered by an expert guest: things that can go wrong with the very end of our digestive system. A topic that makes people seriously anxious, even depressed, yet rarely is shared with family, friends, even doctors. Hemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, itching, pain, bleeding, prolapsed mucosa, skin tags... causes, effect of stress on the development of aggravation, prevention, DIY remedies, medical procedures, risks and benefits... Thanks for considering!
