So another big moment for AI.
Just heard that Ai-Da, the world’s most advanced humanoid robot, sold her first painting at auction for $1.08 million!
Her depiction of Alan Turing — called A.I. God — apparently dives into the ethics and future of AI.
Crazy times.
Are you getting enough sleep?
Been educating myself on Sleep Cycles. It’s fascinating stuff.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
Sleep occurs in cycles, and these include several stages that help with our physical and mental recovery.
We can categorise these stages into 2 main types:
i. Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep
ii. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
Let’s dive a bit deeper into each.
NREM SLEEP
This is divided into 3 stages:
Stage 1: Light Sleep
This is the transition from wakefulness to sleep. It lasts a few minutes, during which your heart rate and breathing slow, and muscles begin to relax.
Stage 2: Deeper Light Sleep
A deeper stage of light sleep where your body temperature drops and your heart rate slows even more. This stage accounts for about 50% of your total sleep time.
Stage 3: Deep Sleep
Also known as slow-wave or delta sleep, this is the most restorative phase. It’s during this stage your body repairs tissues, builds muscle, and strengthens the immune system.
REM SLEEP
REM sleep is the final stage of the sleep cycle and is important for cognitive functions like memory consolidation and learning.
During this stage, your brain becomes more active, and this is when you dream.
REM sleep plays a big role in emotional processing and mental recovery.
How Much Sleep Should we Be Getting?
The amount of sleep you need varies by age, but adults generally need 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
To maintain healthy sleep patterns, it’s important to cycle through these stages multiple times each night, as they help with physical recovery, memory retention, and overall well-being.
Achieving consistent deep and REM sleep is key to feeling well-rested and functioning at your best.
