    hello, the average european sleeps 8h/day. And so do I
  • 0:41 - 0:46
    this kind of sleep is called monophasic sleep. Because you sleep one time a day.
  • 0:46 - 0:51
    two thirds awake, one third asleep. But there is also
  • 0:51 - 0:57
    biphasic sleep, where you sleep 6h at night and half hour powernap
  • 0:57 - 1:06
    or even triphasic where you sleep 4.5h through the night and then two power naps of half an hour each
  • 1:06 - 1:10
    in fact this is called polyphasic sleep because you sleep
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    many times throught the day rather than one time at night
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    and you may wonder. How is this even possible?
  • 1:17 - 1:25
    well, the normal sleep is composed of 4 to 5 dreaming episodes
  • 1:25 - 1:33
    or REM in yello, which in total take 2h. And the rest, the other 6h in blue are just deep sleep
  • 1:33 - 1:39
    it turns out you can feel rested if you only do the dreaming phases
  • 1:39 - 1:44
    the REM phases. And I'm going to attempt just that.
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    I will sleep 2h/day for 6 months. (exclamation!!)
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    following this schedule
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    and I need your help. I want to share my sleeping data with the world
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    but obviously I need to measure it. So I need...
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    an activity monitor connected to my computer
  • 2:02 - 2:07
    and I need a sleep recorder. Which is going to be
  • 2:07 - 2:11
    a head band which records the brain waves (zeo mobile)
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    and it has to be connected to an Android phone
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    and transmits through the night all the brainwaves from my head.
  • 2:17 - 2:22
    and I also need hosting so I can write a blog, everyday
  • 2:22 - 2:26
    explaining my experience in English, Spanish and French.
  • 2:26 - 2:29
    so please help me and donate. Thank you.
