He's never slept since birth? Looks like all he does IS sleep. Laws of human biology dictate his body would have either REM rebounded or suffer massive organ failure then death. He would've died before a week old.

Looks more like to me a fat loafer who thinks the world of himself, Allah be praised.

I bet "the strongest man" couldn't run a full mile before having a heart attack.

This show's got to be fake. Or a televised equivalent of a tabloid paper like the enquirer. Batboy found in cave! Drinking lard gives man strength!

Beautiful song, surely one of the best albums ever.
What happened to REM? <IMG class=smiley src="http://static1.videosift.com/videosift/i/emoticon/frown.gif">


they just had a concert where i live. it was awesome. fantastic! maybe the best concert ever ive been to. for real!!! musically, the only other concert that has been equally great to me, was david bowie.

If my siamese did that I'd been batting him off the bed 'get the f off me!' lol. Still he does wake me almost every morning with a cold wet nose kiss. 'Wake up and feed me damn you!' lol.

I know the cat is on him all night but that guy shifts around far to much at night. You don't get any real sleep doing that and certainly don't enter a REM state.

Ta 15!

No problem, brother. Ya know, if you could find music videos WITH cats in them I'd think you'd be set.

Thanks for the upvotes and promotes recently kronos, you da man! You know I need the support with my pqueue #s now catching up to my sifted #s, hah. It's not easy being a music sifter these days, I tell yas.

But hey, as long as at least one person enjoys a video of mine - one upvote - everyone else can go to hell (and keep searching for their precious kitty videos).

Good point, not sure how this passed me by

Why can't everyone just be Shiny Happy People?

Have a friend that was having a major manipulation done to her shoulder, sort of a pre-surgery relocation or something that entailed the doc putting his knee in her chest and tugging or whatnot. They gave her a drug, I think maybe orally administered that allowed her to be sentient and conversant and cooperative, but she didn't remember a thing. Struck me as something from a science fiction movie or spy thriller. I think it also dulled the pain, but I remember thinking "if you caused a lot of pain to the patient, but they don't remember it, were they ever in pain" I don't remember what it was called. Forgettitol^tm? [edit:] It's called Versed.

No, general anesthesia is not like physiologic sleep, the latter being a complex and active function of neurons located in the brain stem, in and around the thalamus. If you are unlucky enough, a small stroke in this area, while not damaging a significant portion of the brain, can result in permanent coma.

For an interesting sleep disorder, look up fatal familial insomnia. It's rare, and one you don't want to get.

The mechanisms of the some of the general anesthetics are still unknown. For instance, we don't know how the most widely used ones, the halogenated hydrocarbon gases, (halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, etc.) have their effect. Their potency is significantly related to their lipid solubility, which suggests they get in your neural cell lipid membranes, and alter them (temporarily) such that they can't carry on communication with other neurons. They've been used for 150 years now, and we still don't know exactly how they work!
Many of the IV anesthetics inhibit specific receptors and antagonize specific neurotransmitters, such that we do know how most of them work.

Cheers,

No, I don't have that kind of depth of knowledge. Sleep and dreams are so mysterious and fascinating, though. Is anesthesia anything like sleep, or nothing at all? Does a patient have REM under the gas?

Watched this last night and forgot to upvote. I was diverted by looking for video of the goats with the myotonia, undoubtedly a similar phenomena. Alas, there was already a similar sift, so I dropped it. You ARE going medical on us.
