Ever wonder what happens when you close your eyes and surrender to the night? Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of sleep — a universe where coral reefs doze, birds snooze with one eye open, and your brain secretly becomes a workaholic. From the mysterious dance of REM and non-REM to the peculiarities of unihemispheric slumber, this podcast uncovers the science, stories, and surprises behind our nightly escape.

Explore how sleep shapes memories, fuels creativity, and occasionally leads to night-time wanderings (or wrestling matches with dreams). Discover why even fish have a bedtime and why your pillow might just be your brain's favorite co-worker. Packed with insights, curiosities, and the soothing hum of a good narrative, this episode promises to make you rethink your next yawn.

Plug in, drift off, and unravel the magic of sleep with us. Just don’t blame us if you start dreaming about talking dolphins or flying pillows!
