Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1c2uppn... In 2010, electrodes inside epilepsy patients' brains caught one part of the brain falling asleep minutes before the rest. In 2019, a Boston scanner filmed something moving through sleeping brains in slow waves. And a woman in Geneva met a stranger copying her every move, made by one spot in her own brain. So where does the list end? Seven places the sleeping brain enters, ranked by how much of what you trust each one takes away. A full three-hour walk, made for any pace, including drifting off. Settle in and let this slow walk through the hidden places of the sleeping mind keep you company tonight. Subscribe to The Cosmographer if you like the long way through the universe's greatest lists.
