Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning kiss one
thirty percent. An estimate of thirty percent of people worldwide
experience at least one episode of sleep paralysis in their lifetimes.
Have you experienced this. There's a difference between dreamers like
maybe you and I and that like bizarre sleep paralysis stuff.

(00:25):
I'd love to hear from you, if you suffer from
this or not. If you're like, tell me a little
bit about sleep paralysis. It's kind of where you're think
of it like a traffic jam in your if you're
stuck out and hold on, think of it as like
a traffic jam in your brain. You're kind of in it.
It's sleep paralysis happens when you're transitioning in and out

(00:46):
of rem sleep. Your brain is awake and alert, but
your body is still asleep and immobilized, and they collide momentarily,
causing these bizarre things to happen into you while you're sleeping.
Some of them are like dangerous. My dad told me
one time that he suffers from sleep paralysis. It was

(01:07):
bizarre listening to him talk about the stuff that he
would see but he could move so interesting. I've always
thought dreams are very interesting. Some people dream super vividly,
some people don't dream at all, and then there's the
sleep paralysis category. I'm gonna throw out my number just
in case, five point three seven four nine one oh
seven one. You can also talk back with tiff on iHeartRadio,

(01:28):
but very curious to see what your experience is with it.
I tend to dream, but I also am one of
the lucky ones, and I think that I think I'm
very lucky on this to get quality sleep every night.
And there are many things that play into sleep factors.
It depends on who you are as a person, what
your anxiety levels are, if you have a family, responsibilities,
your job. Right, there's a million one things. And I've

(01:49):
always been really lucky to get good sleep, and it
was a goal of mine in January to prioritize it,
and I have done so in the last six months.
And I really do think sleep like give your athletes.
Lebron James talks about all the time, like how important
sleep is. It's so important, Oh my god, so few things.
If you have sleep paralysis or just weird sleep or
weird dreams, they say, number one, you need a nightly routine,

(02:13):
and I stand by that too. You gotta get a routine,
and whether that's go to bed at nine and you're
up at six, or go to bed at ten and
you're up at seven, sleep routine is best, and you
need somewhere between. They say seven and nine hours of sleep.
I think that's a little ridiculous. If you are not
able to do that, it's more like five or six
full cycles of sleep. And then, you know, I think

(02:36):
that health and wellness plays so much of a role
in getting good sleep too, depending on where you're at
with that. But you know, food and weight management and
movement and stress and anxiety and coping mechanisms. So bizarre
how everything is all connected. But I found this article
really interesting. If you're if you're interested in seeing it,
send me a DM. I'll shoot it your way. And

(02:58):
if you've got some weird dreams, let me know it.
They are five win three seven for nine one oh
seven one
