0:00 Hello and welcome back to the Easy English Podcast. 0:05 I'm your host Oliver, and today we are going to the land of Dreams. We are talking about sleep. 0:15 Sleep is a topic that I've covered a few times on this podcast, but today we are going to explore it a little bit 0:23 fervor. We're going to look at what sleep actually is and how it can possibly help with your English 0:35 language learning. So stick around to find out. 0:40 And for English language learners in general, we talk about sleep and you need to take your language beyond the simple 0:50 I'm tired or I'm going to sleep for advanced fluency. 0:56 So you're going to learn some new vocabulary, some more advanced vocabulary today related to sleep to help expand 1:05 your vocabulary in English. Interestingly enough, I was looking at the statistics for the podcast this week and over 1:16 70% of listeners are not following or subscribed, have a lot more listens than and downloads than we do have 1:28 followers and subscribers. So if you are listening, make sure that you're following or subscribed on whatever platform 1:37 you are on. Let's look at today's key vocabulary and learn some words to listen for in today's 1:46 episode. Our first word for the day is 1:50 consolidation, consolidation, consolidation, consolidation and 2:00 this is the process where the brain turns short term memories 2:06 into long term memories. Sleep is essential for long term 2:13 consolidation of new vocabulary. Our second word today is neural 2:21 pathways, rather a phrase than a word, neural halfways, and these 2:28 are the roads in your brain that connect bits of information. 2:34 This word neural is usually an adjective in relation to the 2:40 brain and how the brain works. Speaking a language builds strong neural pathways in the brain. 2:51 Our third phrase for today is circadian rhythm. 2:57 Circadian rhythm. 2 words there, but they make one phrase for this topic. And your circadian rhythm is 3:09 your internal 24 hour body clock and it regulates. 3:15 So it decides when you feel sleepy and when you feel awake. 3:22 So when to sleep and when to be awake, that is your circadian rhythm which decides this. Our 4th phrase today is 3:34 cognitive load. Cognitive load, and this is the amount of mental effort that is being used in your memory right 3:45 now. So when you have high cognitive load and you are using a lot of your memory, a lot of your 3:54 brain, there's a lot of effort going on. 3:59 And our final word today is restorative. 4:03 Restorative, and this is having the ability to restore. 4:09 It's an adjective about something which restores maybe health, strength or a feeling of being. 4:16 Well, oh, those were quite hard phrases and words today. 4:21 So let's get in. We'll we'll get straight in to the main episode already. So let's talk a little bit about the stages of sleep and what it is. 4:32 So sleep is not simply a flat state. 4:37 So you don't just fall asleep and that is all it is. 4:42 It is a very structured almost, well a very structured process which has a different stages in the sleep cycle. 4:54 And understanding these cycles is very important to understand 5:00 how we learn in the cycles to how we are learning while we sleep essentially. And sleep can be spit split into 5:10 two separate sections in general. 5:14 The 1st is non rapid eye movement sleep. 5:19 So this is the physical repair stage of sleep. 5:24 And during this non rapid eye movement sleep, your body is 5:29 repairing parts of itself, bits of DNA, cells or even your 5:38 immune system. And for English learners, this stage of sleep is when you're fact based memories. 5:47 So like vocabulary or phrases or grammar rules are taken from 5:54 your temporary short term memories and moved to your long term memories in your brain so that you can remember them for 6:04 longer. Then the second type of sleep, the second type of stage is R.E.M. 6:11 So R.E.M. or rapid eye movement sleep and R.E.M. is when your 6:18 brain activity is very high. So it gets very high almost like you are awake but you're still asleep. 6:27 And this stage is very important for understanding. 6:32 So when your brain is working things out. 6:35 So for an English language learner, this could be where your brain is working out some of the flow or the rhythm or even the emotional tone of English. 6:47 So really, sleep can be a language learner's secret weapon. Many students, especially if you have an exam, you, you stay up very late until maybe two or 6:59 three AM to try and study, to get as much into your head as you can before an exam or maybe a big test in school or 7:10 university. However, the science about sleep and learning tells us the opposite. 7:17 If you don't sleep, you are essentially deleting, removing the work that you just did. And we'll break this into steps 7:28 #1 the consolidation process. Consolidation, the consolidation process. Think of your brain as a sponge. 7:39 During the day you are absorbing, you're soaking up new English words and signs. But a sponge can only hold so 7:50 much water. Sleep. 7:53 It squeezes the sponge, moving all of those new words into pernament storage. Maybe it's squeezing the water 8:04 into a bucket, and that bucket is your long term memory. 8:09 And sleep does this so that you can store more things in that sponge the next day. This is called memory 8:19 consolidation. The second point here is the brain flush. During sleep, your brain uses a 8:28 system to wash away toxins that build up during the day. 8:34 If you feel a brain fog or you start to feel a little bit, it might not be a lack of talent. It might not be that your brain 8:45 hasn't had the chance to, you know, maybe recover. 8:49 It probably is that your brain hasn't actually had the chance to get rid of all of that bad stuff that waste from the 8:59 previous day's study session. Another point about sleep and language learning is have you ever had a dream in English? 9:09 It's something I'm curious about with other learners. 9:13 If you have had a dream in English, this is a fantastic milestone. It means that your brain is 9:21 actively integrating the language into your subconscious mind. During R.E.M., rapid eye 9:30 movement, sleep, your brain is practicing social situations as well and it makes them feel more natural when you wake up. 9:40 So once your brain is starting to have dreams in English, this is a great sign that you are using English in your 9:49 subconscious. And that's a huge milestone of fluency with the language. So we know sleep is very 9:58 important. We know it's extremely important for learning a language, but what are some things which stop 10:05 us from getting in? Now in 2026, probably our greatest enemy is what we call blue light. 10:15 Our brains are evolutionarily designed to respond to the sun. 10:21 We see the sun in the morning time, it's there. 10:25 In the evening time or night time, it's gone. 10:28 And this as light from the sun is processed by our circadian 10:36 rhythm, which tells us when we need to be asleep and when we need to wake up. But when we use blue light, it 10:46 tricks us. We think, oh, it's time to be awake even if it's late night. So looking at phones late at 10:54 night or screens, kind of like I'm doing right now, I'm looking at a screen which I probably shouldn't be. 11:02 It tricks our brains into thinking it's daytime, which can stop this chemical called melatonin, which makes us sleepy 11:11 from being released. This leads to insomnia, where you can't sleep, which prevents the brain from starting that 11:20 consolidation that we need for remembering our English learning. So what is the best way to use 11:29 sleep to help you study English? And this is something called the study sleep technique. There's a lot of research on 11:38 this and it shows that reviewing your most difficult English material, like phrasal verbs for example, right before bed 11:49 followed by 8 hours of sleep, results in a much higher retention than studying in the morning. 11:59 So although you might feel a little bit tired in the evening, it shows that if you do your English language learning in the 12:06 evening when you feel a bit more tired, so closer to sleep, you will probably remember and learn much faster than if you do it in 12:17 the morning. And it makes sense. 12:20 If you're learning in the morning, you have the rest of the day to go, with lots of new information being put on top of 12:30 what you're learning. But of course, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't learn in the morning. 12:36 You should learn when is best for you. 12:39 Doing some learning is better than none at all. 12:43 So stick to your habit and your routine that you have, because the difference is probably not that big and it's not worth moving the time that you're learning if the evening time 12:54 doesn't really suit. But maybe in the evening you want to read a nice phrasal verb book like Phrasal Verbs are Easy, which you can buy in the LinkedIn, the description below. 13:06 It's my book that teaches you phrasal verbs, reinforcing those from context using short stories. 13:14 The link, as always, is down below. 13:17 It's still on sale for our winter sale. 13:20 OK, now this brings us to my favorite part of the show where we celebrate the progress of our global easy English community. 13:30 Looking at your answers to my questions. 13:34 And last week we had an episode about British and American 13:40 English, the differences between them and why the the those types of English became so different. And I had a lot of answers on 13:51 this one, some very great answers. 13:56 And I would like to read you today some of those answers to celebrate the great job that you're all doing commenting. 14:05 I read each and every comment on this podcast and on YouTube as well. So do leave them. 14:12 I really enjoy reading them. I enjoy seeing your pro set like progress. And although I don't get the chance to respond to every single one, I do make the effort 14:22 to try and read them all. Our first answer to this question is from Diego and Diego said, Hi Oliver, I'm Diego from 14:33 Ecuador, but I moved to England three years ago. 14:37 Listening to your podcasts is a great way to start my week on the right foot. That's great Diego, I'm glad that you enjoy them, particularly starting your week. 14:48 I'm more into British English as I live and work in the UK. 14:52 The use of American or British English depends on your environment. As an example, in my previous 15:00 job in England, I was presenting some information and I was corrected by a colleague the word organization. 15:11 My bad was to use organization with AZ. 15:16 I'll never forget it. That's a really good point Diego, about the S and the Z. Sometimes British and also Americans can be quite particular about this. 15:28 So really great point and it's makes total sense that you're focusing on British English living here in the UK. 15:37 Thank you for your comment and I hope to see you around on the the channel on the podcast comments. 15:45 We had another comment from Voros Anna Maria and they said, hi, Oliver, I am from Hungary. Wow. 15:55 We have a lot of Hungarian listeners. 15:57 I can see from the statistics it's amazing. 16:01 And Anna Maria says I prefer to learn British English because it is the origin. And I love your northern accent. 16:12 I think accents are important to be preserved. 16:15 It is part of the culture. But to return to your original question, if I spoke English fluently, it would not be important. Which version? 16:26 I love that comment. It's a really great comment from multiple ways. I agree. 16:31 I think it's important to have accents and it's also important for you guys, for everyone listening to understand 16:39 different accents. Not just an accent from London, but different parts of the UK and America too. 16:48 Great comment. Very very good comment and I hope to see you in the comment section in the future as well. 16:57 We had a comment from Casa Kim and they said I often mix them up when it comes to pronunciation, but for words I 17:06 might use the American ones more often. 17:09 Ah very good. Yes I agree with pronunciation. 17:13 It can it can be quite difficult even for native speakers. 17:17 Some of them will learn maybe the incorrect pronunciation for their country, but it's due to media. 17:27 We hear so many different versions of different words. 17:31 And it's fine. As long as people understand each other, as we understand you and you understand me, it's not a problem. So thank you very much for all 17:41 of your amazing comments. For next week's episode for the Listener Spotlight, I'm going to ask you a question about sleep 17:52 and dreams. My first question is, have you ever had a dream in English? If so, tell me about that dream. 18:04 Maybe you spoke in English, maybe you heard something. 18:07 Maybe you dreamt about English but in your native language. 18:12 Tell me about your dreams related to English and I will read some dream related comments in next week's episode. 18:22 So do leave the comments I read each and everyone. 18:26 OK, Thank you so much for listening. 18:30 In summary, sleep is not a lack of productivity. 18:34 It is not something which we do not need. 18:39 It is essential. It is the foundation of our learning. By respecting your circadian 18:47 rhythm and allowing for memory consolidation, you are setting yourself up to learn the best you can in English. 18:57 So I hope this podcast episode has inspired you to get more sleep when you're learning so to learn English and to make sure 19:07 you're getting the adequate correct amount of sleep afterwards as well. Thank you so much for listening. 19:15 Remember to follow and subscribe if you're new, rate the podcast 5 stars and I will see you in next week's episode. 19:24 And if you want to support even further, you can join the Easy English Patreon and get access to bonus episodes and content every week.
