Sleep Minute — Dreams & The Science of Sleep

Stephane is given a weird introduction to his new job, the boss throws out some homophobic slurs,  Martine and Serge try to persuade Stephane to go on a skiing weekend. We talk about sleep terrors and sleep paralysis, the computer games of our youth and Temple Grandin's hug machine.  Loads of art inspired by sleep paralysis! https://theovertake.com/~alpha/sleep-paralysis-into-incredible-...
