The Last Brain Cell

Hi everyone 👋Welcome back to this weeks episode of TLBC. Today we’re talking sleep chronotypes.Deanna is sharing all the details on sleep chronotypes, and all the good insights about sleep. We all know sleep is important to us. But beyond getting 8 hours a night, how can we really reap the benefits of our sleep and ensure we get quality sleep? It’s not as simple as going to bed early and rising early. Sleep is subjective to each individual and everyone has a unique sleep pattern they gain most from. Our discussion consists of how our chronotypes compare and what sleep looks like and feels like for us. We also talk about how important sleep is to our health and what benefits we can gain from keeping good sleep hygiene. Take a listen and share with us your sleep chronotypes and how you compare with us!Happy listening!

On today's episode of the TLBC we are playing You're Getting Old. While we are very aware that we are not senior citizens, we're definitely feeling the heat of not being able to keep up with todays generation, trends and more. This was a fun game that we picked up to see just how long we can hold on to our youth 😅 To play, we read each OLD prompt and see if we can answer them. If we can, we can save ourselves by answering our REDEEM prompt. If we can't, then we move up on our PATH card. The first one to top loses. Please remember that we are playing differently in a way that we can both play at the same time! This is really fun and allowed us to talk about our experiences growing up and . Come play with us and let us know if you can keep up with today's trends. Happy listening!

Happy new year everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the new year and have hopes for a better 2024! We sure are. Join us on this fun episode where we play a game called Don’t Get Me Started. A game where we HAVE TO get annoying and be angry over ANYTHING your partner gives you. There are two types of people in this world, take a listen and hear the dichotomy 😂We also touch base on our icks - things we are passionately annoyed about and don’t hesitate to rant on. You can tell it was quite therapeutic 😅Happy listening!

Hi everyone! Welcome to The Last Brain Cell. Today we are taking a deep dive into a few topics of psychology. We discuss clinical, cognitive, behavior, and biopsychology. Psychology is such a broad umbrella term for many parts of life. We think of therapy, counselors, conditioning, and the biological wiring of our minds. We are talking about color psychology and dreams. Colors can have a big impact on our moods. Think of the colors we select we paint our homes, what colors do we gravitate to. Studies have shown that colors correlate to different moods and emotions. Some colors are calming, some colors are romantic, some colors are somnolent. We learn the importance of color in our lives and how it can affect our psyche. On a different but related topic, we dig into the meaning behind dreams. Some people may analyze their dreams to a deeper meaning, some people don't. Regardless, it's fun to see how people perceive their dreams and what emotions trigger certain types. Studies have also shown that many people have similar dreams such as dreams of teeth falling out or dreams of falling. Personally I've found that my dreams differ now versus pre-antidepressants. I've also found that the depth my dreams differ when I take supplements such as magnesium. It's interesting to see how dreams are analyzed and what deeper meaning we can find in our subconscious.Share with us your thoughts on color psychology and dream psychology.Links to articles:https://www.verywellmind.com/color-psychology-2795824https://mhanational.org/surroundings/color-psychology-explainedhttps://www.emedicinehealth.com/what_are_the_four_types_of_psychology/article_em.htmhttps://www.dreamdictionary.org/

On todays episode of The Last Brain Cell, we are talking survival. In the world we live in it’s no longer really about survival of the fittest. We have so much modern medicine and so many minders technologies to get us through life pretty easy. Of course, life happens and life becomes difficult in other ways. We face a different kind of survival. Sometimes we are forced off the grid and sometimes we go off the grid by choice such as tiny home/van life. We are talking true survival mode today. Have you ever thought about how to survive out in the wild? Or how you’d fare in an apocalyptic world? What survival tools you would need? We pull a lot of media such as survival based reality shows and other TV shows such as Lost. Who do you think would do better in a survival situation?…It’s DeAnna for sure 😅

On todays episode of TLBC, we are having some fun with a spelling bee! Have you even tried to spell ‘tourniquet’ or ‘chrysanthemum’?There’s something about being put on the spot where the last brain cell stops working 😅Between me and DeAnna, we haven’t taken a spelling test since grade school. We surprised ourselves with how we did. It was an absolute blast filming this together. Play along and see if you can get these right with us!

On todays episode of The Last Brain Cell, we’re playing a game called Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader - a game you may all be familiar with. A game where we ask each other fifth grade level questions and see if we can CORRECTLY answer. Join us for this wild game of fifth grade trivia. We might not be smarter than a child after all 🤷🏻‍♀️
