that you generally have at least 22 wires attached to you to measure brain activity (EEG), eye
movements (EOG), skeletal muscle activation (EMG), heart rhythm (ECG), respiration, and
sometimes peripheral pulse oximetry.
Guess what? No one can sleep in a weird lab with 22 wires attached to them on the rst
night. So the data are terrible. But let's assume you try. The second night, you come in after an
all-nighter and crash within minutes like a postsugar high two-year-old. Double-bad data.
To really test and tweak things under realistic sleeping conditions, I would need a pocket-
sized sleep lab.
