That’s really neat. Also explains why behavior goes off the rails after a few days with no sleep.

My boyfriend and I got outrageously drunk on old spirits last night and watched Looking while making out on the couch. It was a lot of fun.

Yes, they "hallucinate" just like we do after sleep deprivation.

I sleep at least 10 hours a night. And it's not self-indulgence. If I only get 8 hours I need 12 the next day.

That sucks you say? Nah, I love sleeping. :)

Watkins recalled that "almost in desperation," they tried having the simulation essentially undergo deep sleep. They exposed it to cycles of oscillating noise, roughly corresponding to the slow brain waves seen in deep sleep, which restored the simulation to stability. The researchers suggest this simulation of slow-wave sleep may help "prevent neurons from hallucinating the features they're looking for in random noise," Watkins said.


Not just sleep! Maybe giving them a wave like REM-sleep would make them dream ...

So THAT's what the fox says!
