that when people have a tension lapse during the day, actually that they're getting some washout of these waste products from their brain.

Is that?

Yeah, no, I think it's, I found that paper fascinating.

We'll link to it when we put the post up.

But the fact that, and it's a different wave of fluid, as you point out, but it's the cerebral spinal fluid.

But that time when you feel that you lose your attention span and that your brain is trying to compensate for the poor

or inadequate sleep the night prior.

Now, another recent piece appeared in the New Yorker about the short sleepers.

And we've been talking about this for a number of years.

I think it was UCSF first case with these people that have these rare variants that they can sleep three or four hours and they have just perfect performance as if they slept eight hours with lots of deep sleep and REM sleep and whatnot.

Is there anything we can learn from these people that everybody could only have to have four hours of sleep and be just as sharp as the people with the rare endowed

gene variants?

I guess what I'm saying is, you know, if that pathway, the biologic pathway is known and you could.

replicate that with a pill or even a genome editing approach someday.

And we spend a third of our time approximately in sleep.

And if you could only spend a much lesser proportion, a sixth of our time,

You know, look at the productivity.

You don't even need AI.

You just get productive.

Well, I like your answer.
