00:00Woah!
00:06Woah!
00:07Ugh!
00:13Woah!
00:16Woah!
00:17That's a hiccup!
00:24Bucket list number one.
00:26Lack of sleep or sleepiness.
00:28Sleepiness is unstoppable.
00:30Hiccups are an involuntary reflex.
00:33This is a result of the stretch of the jaw
00:35and the increase of blood flow to our face and neck.
00:38At the same time, hiccups are the deep breathing
00:40and the rapid heartbeats
00:42or the beating of the heart
00:43that also speeds up the cycle of blood and spinal fluid.
00:47This has the potential to cool off the brain
00:50and also increase our level of alertness.
00:54A person's hiccups usually last for 4 to 7 seconds.
00:58Usually, when a person hiccups,
01:00it depends on the temperature of our atmosphere.
01:04If it's too humid,
01:06and sometimes when our body is hot,
01:08we need to exhaust our body.
01:11That's why we sometimes hiccup
01:13so that at least the heat can be released
01:15and the temperature of our body and the atmosphere
01:17can still be equal.
01:20Did you know that the fetus,
01:22when it's 12 weeks old,
01:23also starts to hiccup in the womb of its mother?
01:28It hiccups up to 25 times a day.
01:32But as it gets older,
01:34the number of hiccups also decreases.
01:37When a person gets older,
01:38of course, it decreases
01:40because their lungs and respiratory system are already mature.
01:44Their body is already better
01:46so the body of an older person
01:48doesn't adjust as much.
