Drift off while learning one hundred soothing, mind-bending facts about consciousness. From brain waves and memory ripples to split brains, lucid dreams, and the “hard problem,” this gentle bedtime science documentary takes you inside the quiet machinery of awareness — where thoughts form, selves appear and dissolve, and the line between waking and dreaming grows beautifully thin. Told in a calm, unhurried voice with soft ambient music, it’s perfect for winding down without overstimulation.

This sleep-friendly video blends peaceful narration with clear, accessible neuroscience so you can relax, learn, and let go. You’ll hear how the brain powers experience with only a trickle of energy, why time can stretch in moments of danger, how meditation reshapes the mind, and what rare conditions like blindsight, locked-in syndrome, and Cotard’s delusion reveal about who we are.
