This episode of the Jeevan Jaanch Punjabi Podcast explores the most controversial science book of the decade: "Why We Sleep" by Dr. Matthew Walker. We dive deep into both the brilliant neuroscience AND the dangerous exaggerations in this bestselling book endorsed by Bill Gates.

🧠 In this Episode, We Reveal:

The Truth About Sleep: Why your brain needs 7-9 hours (not negotiable!)

REM vs NREM Sleep: What actually happens when you dream

The Big Lie: Did WHO really declare sleep deprivation an epidemic? (Spoiler: NO!)

Caffeine Conspiracy: Why your 2pm chai is destroying your midnight sleep

⚠️ What Makes This Episode Different:

We don't just teach the science - we teach you HOW to think about science. We expose where even a Berkeley professor exaggerated data, fabricated citations, and created fear-mongering that ironically causes sleep anxiety!

📊 Our Approach:

60% Good Science: Fascinating neuroscience of sleep cycles, circadian rhythms, and memory

30% Critical Analysis: Exposing false WHO claims, cherry-picked data, and missing sources

10% Practical Tips: Evidence-based sleep hacks that actually work

Whether you want to understand why dreams happen, how to improve your exam performance, or why night owls aren't lazy (it's genetics!), this episode builds scientific temperament while teaching real sleep science.
