    A left lateral body position increases pulmonary vein stress in healthy humans

    You can stab me or shoot me when sleeping, it would not wake me up. When someone is trying to wake me up, I'm aware of it, but can't control my body and bring myself out of the sleep. Sometimes, I have extremely strong nausea, which I'm also aware of but still can't wake up. When I somehow...

    Do we really need 7-8 hours of sleep ? Does low stress/faster metabolism lower the time our body's require to rest ?

So much for "serotonin is the happiness hormone"...Yet despite the solid evidence implicating serotonin as a (if not THE) major cause of autism, even this study...

    After I work out with moderate intensity I sleep very poorly and get very anhedonic, depressed, and anxious. What is my body telling me?

    I will probably post some questions about this again in the future as I am extremely tired, anhedonic, depressed, and feel like I am always on the cusp of a panic attack (though I never actually have one), so I don't know if I can't really flesh this out. I am a male of 29 years. 5'10". 185lb...
