Ep 462 | The Science of Breath, Sleep & Consciousness with Martin McPhilimey

Author: Cameron Branch and Daniel Delby September 9, 2026 Duration: 2:08:27

What if the way we breathe and sleep is connected to something much bigger?


In this episode I’m joined by sleep and breath scientist Martin McPhilimey for a deep conversation about the science of breathing, sleep and the mind-body connection.


We explore how breath can influence our physical and mental state, psychedelics and altered states of consciousness, our connection to self, and the possibility that consciousness extends beyond the individual.


From neuroscience to spirituality, God, the universe and whatever might exist beyond what we currently understand — this one goes deep.

Ever find yourself down a rabbit hole at two in the morning, puzzling over a strange news headline or a bizarre historical footnote? That’s the territory The Hard Yarns Podcast lives in. Hosts Cameron Branch and Daniel Delby-known to their listeners as Branchy and Delby-sit down with a new guest each week to pull on those loose threads in our culture, politics, sports, and even spirituality. Their approach is less about finding definitive answers and more about the joy of the messy, curious conversation that happens along the way. You’ll hear discussions that can pivot from the mechanics of a conspiracy theory to the nuances of mental health without missing a beat, all delivered with an unfiltered and often comedic honesty. This isn’t a polished lecture series; it’s the feeling of a great late-night chat where no topic is off limits and everything is examined with a blend of skepticism and open-minded curiosity. Tune in for the raw, winding dialogues that make this podcast a consistently surprising listen, where the journey through the weird and the profound is always the point.
