Doctor Reacts To The Apothecary Diaries Ep 3: Sleepwalking… Not a Spirit?!

Dr. Todd and Allycia react to Episode 3 of The Apothecary Diaries as a mysterious “ghost” rumor spreads through the rear palace—only for Maomao to begin unraveling a much more logical explanation 👀 In this episode, we break down the case of Concubine Fuyo and the eerie sightings of a woman dancing along the palace walls. What starts as a supernatural mystery quickly turns into a fascinating discussion of sleepwalking (somnambulism), stress, and human behavior. Dr. Todd dives into the medical side of sleep, explaining the different sleep stages and how sleepwalking, night terrors, and bedwetting are linked to deep N3 sleep—not REM. We also discuss REM paralysis, the brain’s “cleanup” process during sleep, risk factors like stress, and the importance of good sleep hygiene. We loved how Maomao approaches this like a true diagnostician—forming theories, questioning assumptions, and working through possibilities just like in real medicine. 📸 Follow us on Instagram: behind the scenes, family life, medicine, and random chaos: Instagram:   / dr.chadd_todd   📩 Contact us at [email protected] Reaction ideas, content requests, general questions for Dr. Todd, or just to say hello!
