Anicet Mbida delivers to us every morning what is best in terms of innovation.

This Friday, he is interested in research that would aim to make it possible to be satisfied with two hours of sleep per night, without all the phases of drowsiness, awakening or REM sleep.

The innovation of the day is a new area of ​​research that has just opened up.

We are working to eradicate the notion of sleep in men and women.

This is part of those extreme searches that are both dreaming and a little scary.

Like the idea of ​​eradicating death with all the research around the rejuvenation of the body.

One of these sections is now interested in our sleep.

The goal: get us to sleep two hours (or less) while getting the same benefits as if we had slept eight hours.

How ?

By optimizing sleep so that you immediately fall into deep sleep (the most restorative).

Without having to bother with all the phases of drowsiness, waking up or REM sleep.

How would that actually work?

It's still research, but the idea would be to stimulate the brain with the same type of impulses that one receives in deep sleep.

We would put a kind of helmet stuffed with electrodes on the head.

We would schedule it for two hours.

And his brain will think he got his night's sleep.

When we sleep, it's not just the brain that is resting.

There is also the rest of the body, in particular to regenerate and eliminate toxins.

So we are also working on cocoon beds or kinds of electronic pajamas that will stimulate our organs and boost their natural ability to regenerate.

Remember: you spend a third of your life sleeping.

By sleeping less, we would have more time for leisure, work and culture.

So we could experience more things in the same amount of time.

It's seductive.

But it could have negative health effects.

It's true.

Since the dawn of time, human beings have slept between 6 and 10 hours a day.

We have no idea what would happen if we changed the pace.

But again, this is all theoretical.

We are in pure research.

We also have to think about the consequences for society.

If people only sleep 2 hours, when they want, everything should be reviewed: the notion of work, rest, silence at night... It makes you dream, but there is also something to be afraid of.
