"Starting in February, Magniflex and Ratio are partnering for a series of podcasts and an event, all related to the theme of the importance of sleep."
Episode 2 is here. In it, Petko Zhelyazov talks with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kiril Terziyski – pathophysiologist, neurologist, and sleep medicine specialist. The two discuss the different phases of sleep and reveal to us in understandable language what is actually behind translational neuroscience.
Petko and Kiril dive quite deep into the dream and talk more about:
- Why do we need sleep and why is it universal among the animal world?
- "Why do we feel sleepy – what is the role of adenosine and how does caffeine affect it?"
- What is the function of melatonin?
- What is a circadian rhythm and is it subject to change?
- "Why do we feel sleepy mainly in the afternoon, are afternoon naps harmful or beneficial?"
- How do coffee, alcohol, and other substances affect sleep quality?
- Does the temperature of the body and that of the room we sleep in matter?
- How can we improve our sleep quality?
