"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."
In episode 1, Petko Zhelyazov and Nikola Kerekov discuss what science says about the importance of sleep:
- Sleep deprivation leads to the accumulation of the stress hormone cortisol.
- 24 hours without sleep affect the mental state like several promille of alcohol.
- Sleep controls the hormones of appetite, so lack of sleep leads to weight problems.
- The importance of sleep in athletes, known to scientists since ancient times.
- Physical activity is especially important for health and good sleep.
And many other important things that you will learn in the episode:
Ratio is a team of young enthusiasts who are interested in various aspects of science and want to share its mysteries in an accessible language. For over 10 years, they have been organizing events, forums, videos, and podcasts on various scientific topics.
