Where Do You Go When You Sleep?

Where do you really go when you sleep? Sleep feels simple from the outside. You close your eyes, disappear for a few hours, and wake up again. But the psychology of sleep reveals something much deeper happening inside your brain. In this video, Apex explores the psychology of sleep and the mysterious journey your mind takes every night. You’ll learn what happens during Non-REM sleep and REM sleep, why dreams can feel so real, why sleep paralysis happens, and how your brain cleans, repairs, and reorganizes itself while you are unconscious. The psychology of sleep also explains how memories are filtered, emotions are softened, and your sense of self is quietly rebuilt before you wake up the next morning. By the end, you may never look at sleep the same way again. 🌱 Support Apex: https://ko-fi.com/apexpsychology 🚀 Become an Apex member:    / @apexpsychologyyt   👇 Comment below: Do you often wake up in the middle of the night or have vivid dreams?
