Just read the article and it turns out it’s even weirder than a weird sleep cycle thing!
They believe every person is actually two people (separated by the left and right hemispheres) and that they can put one of them to sleep, by making only one half of themselves to sleep. So they get comfortable, but keep open one eye, and keep that half of the body stimulated. When the half with the closed eye, which stays relaxed, goes numb, that half is asleep. This way they can separate their two halves or something. Apparently you can actually come out of that thinking you slept, but idk how, it sounds very disorienting and not restful at all.
This is the unfortunate implications of split brain experiments. I wonder if we cna talk them i to splitting their Brian so they can doubble their apm?

Holy shit that’s even worse - like a guaranteed way to seriously damage mental health.
