Episode Details

Do we remember our dreams more than our nightmares? That’s what Lennon wants to know! In this special Tumble Halloween episode, we’re going to a (not-so evil) laboratory where scientists study the science of sleep. That’s where sleep scientist Rebecca Spencer will help us plunge the depths of our subconscious to discover the power of nightmares, dreams, and… hold on – what are night terrors!?!

Discover how scientists capture dreams and nightmares, why your body is paralyzed every night during deep sleep, and the best way to remember your dreams (or nightmares!). If you dare, join us in the … SLEEP LAB! (evil laugh)
