Topic: Secrets of the Sleeping Brain
Why do we sleep? Although science has yet to explain the reason we spend one-third of our lives in this bizarre state, an exciting theory suggests that sleep can solidify newly learned memories by rewiring the architecture of brain. Emerging neuroscience evidence also indicates that sleep can intelligently associate and integrate new memories together, performing a kind of “sleep-dependent alchemy.” This phenomenon may fuel creative human insights, often reflected in dream content. In addition to memory benefits, recent findings also suggest that sleep can “refresh” emotional brain reactivity, smoothing away the rough edges from our prior waking concerns, thereby allowing rational next-day decisions. Thinking about skimping on your Zs? You'd better come hear what UC Berkeley's Matt Walker has to say about it first!

| Piss is yellow because of the urea your liver creates.

Piss is yellow because the body exports excess bacteria via liquid output.

Piss can be Yellow or Transparent depending how much Urea the Kidney creates if your Hydrated or not

| If we all divided by 0 at once we'd all get E at once.
