Nap Time Experiment: Methods and Results
Our researchers spent 4 hours observing 12 participants, all of whom were forced to take a 20-minute nap. We used an fMRI to monitor brain activity, a motion capture system to track sleep movements, and a team of highly trained snore analysts to document sleep quality. Our results showed that 9 out of 10 participants experienced vivid dreams, and 7 out of 10 woke up feeling refreshed.
Here are our findings:
- Participant 1: Dreamed of flying a unicorn, woke up with a 4.2/10 headache.
- Participant 2: Spontaneously started singing "I Will Always Love You" in front of a mirror, woke up with a 6.5/10 crick in the back.
- Participant 3: Ate a whole box of donuts, woke up with a 2.1/10 stomachache.
