Insomnia & Sleep Paralysis Demons
Lindsey here. I have never slept well -- ever, not once. I'm like Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses, when she starts scrubbing her kitchen with a toothbrush at three o'clock in the morning. Except I'm not distraught about my sister shacking up with my hot boss; I'm just not sleepy. It's three o'clock in the morning right now, actually. Which you could probably tell because this description doesn't make any sense. Why am I talking about Katherine Heigl? Anyway, in today's episode, I tell Connor all about the history of sleeplessness, the science behind it, and what might really be keeping me up. A hint: It has something to do with fruit flies. 🍄 I PROMISE THIS IS INTERESTING! 🍄 We'll see you next time :) ☕️ WANT TO BUY US A COFFEE? → a lil way to support the show: https://ko-fi.com/hiddenrabbits 💡TOPIC SUGGESTION BOX → https://bit.ly/topicsuggestionbox 🛍️ AFFILIATE LINKS → SKIN GRIP: https://skingrip.com?aff=484 (code PONY77) 💜 FOLLOW US AROUND → Hidden Rabbits Instagram: / hiddenrabbitsmedia → Connor’s YouTube Channel: / @connorangus → Lindsey’s Substack: https://lonelypony.substack.com/ 🍏 LISTEN ON SPOTIFY → https://bit.ly/40z0XVe 📝 SHOW NOTES → 'Insomnia' / Cleveland Clinic https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health... → 'A short history of insomnia and how we became obsessed with sleep' / The University of Western Australia https://www.uwa.edu.au/news/article/2... → 'The Intricacies of Insomnia: A Comprehensive Exploration' / Journal of Sleep Medicine https://e-jsm.org/journal/view.php?do... → 'Insomnia: Causes and Risk Factors' / National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/inso... → 'Insomnia' / Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-c... → 'What causes insomnia?' / Dan Kwartler TED-Ed • What causes insomnia? - Dan Kwartler → 'Sleep: Why We Need It and What Happens Without It' / SciShow • Sleep: Why We Need It and What Happens Wit... → 'How Not Sleeping Actually Kills You' / SciShow • How Not Sleeping Actually Kills You → 'Delayed Sleep Phase: Everything You Need To Know' / Medical Centric • Delayed Sleep Phase: Everything You Need T... → 'Fear of Dark' / Jacob Geller • Fear of Dark 🐇 TIMESTAMPS → good evening 0:00 -- 0:55 → our snoozing habits 0:55 -- 4:42 → science time 4:42 -- 15:01 → history time 15:01 -- 18:58 → SLEEP IS IMPORTANT 18:58 -- 31:44 → how does insomnia work 31:44 -- 38:21 → nightmares 38:21 -- 44:37 → sleep paralysis aka demon time 44:37 -- 49:44 → sleepwalk with me 49:44 -- 57:29 → nighttime society 1:03:31 -- 1:10:19 👩🏻💻 WANT TO WORK WITH US? → for sponsorship inquiries, contact: [email protected]
