Sleep is a restorative state that’s vital to human functioning — or is it? In this episode, Josh and Chuck explore different ways in which science is trying to minimize or phase out sleep, from pills to genetic research.
From the How Stuff Works article [link] & the Stuff You Should Know podcast [link].
If one can make broad generalizations about humanity based on a single life’s view — and of course one can’t — there appear to be two kinds of people in the world: Those who damn the world for interfering with their nine hours a night, and those who damn the body for being unsatisfied with four. (And then there are those who claim they function perfectly well on two, but according to sleep experts, they’re just wrong.) Those who damn the body are in luck: Science is working hard to phase out the need for natural sleep.
