Good evening
the young man can open this photo
is called will be true scoop pile he had
22 years old he was an analyst for the bank
goldman sachs business with san
francisco and the night of April 17, 2015
he calls his parents in the middle of the night
it’s been two days that I do not sleep
it’s too much I have a presentation
important to make for tomorrow my
manager is angry I’m still going
spent the night alone at the office
the same night at 4 am there
found defenestrated on a parking lot
near his building
48 hours without sleeping a pressure and a
stress that drives him to get rid of
How did we come up
that’s how we got to
sacrifice our sleep to this point and
well this has lasted for several
decades the same way as the
cigarette in the 90s was a
symbol of virility of success the
chronic sleep deprivation is
become the last decades a
form of accomplishment productivity
staff as gordon gecko said
in the 80s the money sleeps
never everything has changed since thomas
edison who considered that
sleep was a real loss
of time invents alan poul our nights get
are electrified society has become
industrialized then digitize the
global business is running
24 hours a day which would leave
believe that little sleepers have
Moreover, a competitive advantage
certain that’s what love thought the
american president donald trump who
is extremely proud of his four
hours of sleep per night
then a little aside a sleeping four
hours per night has never helped
make big decisions in everything
case I did not get my hands on this
publication is realized
and the people who have this ability
genetics represents 0% the
sorry population for us the
common mortals the deprivation of
chronic sleep, which
every third person suffers in this
room has disastrous consequences
on health and performance in
teeth short term performance
mental the physical performance and
in the long run our health the
poor sleep is correlated with the
diabetes with hypertension with
obesity with alzheimer with
parkinson with mental illness
sleeping well is not a luxury but a
absolute necessity
during our sleep we have a bunch
biological mechanisms and
physiological absolutely critical which
take place we consolidate our memory
we recover the day we
regenerate our cells ourselves
eliminate waste as per
example beta amyloid beta
amyloid is what is responsible
in case of excessive accumulation in
the brain of Alzheimer’s disease
and yet in seventy years we
have lost 60 nights a year a fact
marking a teenager the 50s a
teenager for whom sleep is
absolutely critical for his
development
sleep an average of 9 hours per night
today they are over 70% to
sleep less than five hours a night
and unfortunately for us
solutions to help us better
to sleep daily are few
and not really convincing
there is the most commonly used
sleeping pills or benzodiazepines
have besides we have a sad
record of consumption in France
first thing sleeping pills does not help
not to sleep better
second thing they have some
disastrous consequences on our
health the epidemic of poor sleep
has become a problematic a
major health problem
so much so that it motivated the
last decades of the work of
research to a research effort without
previous about sleep ago
few weeks the nobel prize of
medicine has been awarded
to a team of three scientists
for their discoveries about
principles behind our clock
biological
logic is what makes us
woke up the day we
let’s fall asleep having awarded the most
great reward scientists to
research work on sleep is
undoubtedly the most beautiful proof that the
sleep more than ever became a
major and central critical element of
our societies then research
abundant concept of principle
ideas innovation to help us
sleep better
and this noninvasively but
why in my us always so
badly and well because to understand and
act on our sleep
we have to understand and act on our
brain and all this is extremely
complicated and expensive constraining
today for example if you suffer
of a double of sleep are you going to
to go to a clinic
specialized
we will equip you with a device
called a polysomnography that
costs about 20000 euros
the installation by the team will last
an hour the analysis is given in the morning
will last two hours and the night will have
cost about 1000 euros
the opposite is one of the users
carrying our technology
the headband in place in 90% of cases
the clinical measuring device and costs
500 euros the installation is done in ten
seconds
the analysis is done automatically
morning in a minute and night cost
zero since you slept in your
bed well it is looking at these
figures that we came up with an idea
why not create the first
door and search laboratory
on sleep
Well, I’m very happy to announce
tonight at tedx paris that we are
let’s start the registrations tomorrow
for this unique research program
thank you
voluntary users will be able
participate in the program
they will receive a preview of
new ideas of new concepts
new features not
invasive obviously to help them to
sleep better
in exchange they will give us more
give more information about their
felt for example during the day and we
analyze continuously the data in
from the thousands
of daily records we
only 90% of bad cases
sleep could be solved by
non-invasive techniques and to make it
works you have to imagine his
features must be developed
you have to implement them you have to
test
we have to shoot what the
classic research absolutely does not allow
not to do
behind this program is hiding
the ambition to develop and test
new non-invasive techniques
to help us regain sleep
good quality on a scale
geographical and temporal
previous our first program
will last a month
out of 1000 participants we will launch it in
January with the goal of generating
20 00h as an example a test
traditional clinic on sleep
as we have done in the past
costs about 50000 euros
duration 6 months out of 25 participants
to generate in the end 75 night this
process is going to be six times faster
to generate 300 times more data
and we will have cost ten times cheaper
the long-term goal of this program
is obviously to help us
develop a set of
non- invasive features for us
help recover a good sleep
quality and so present a
alternative to sleeping pills
but it does not stop there behind
all the data we’re going
generate there is there a value
invaluable
we will have access each night
between 7 am and 9 am
physiological record of very
high quality
brain activity rhythm
heart rate respiratory rate
well we think we would be
able in these data to detect
markers that would allow us to
detect and predict months or even
years before the appearance of
symptoms
certain pathologies then well
obviously we think about pathologies
neurodegenerative or not to
cardiovascular pathologies
mental illnesses since this is this
that have a correlation with our
bad sleep
actually if there is a correlation
between the two measurements and the sleep of
precise way could help us to
go back quite pathological to
the transhumanist ideology advocates the
fusion between our biological bodies and the
advanced technology with the goal
to increase our physical performance
or cognitive it’s true that there is some
Attractive pretty sexy thing interesting
but it must be understood that this is
this same mentality that same
ideology that pushed us
past decades to sacrifice our
sleep looking for performance and
productivity at any price is not
without consequences on our health
today we are more anxious
we are more stressed there are more
mental illnesses there are more diseases
neurodegenerative it has to be
stop we have to take action
researchers doctors engineers school
business obviously sleeper solve
the global epidemic of poor sleep
is an absolute priority
we need everything we slow down
and it starts tonight
thank you
[Applause]
