Full transcript
- 0:00If you fall asleep holding two steel
- 0:01balls, you might wake up a genius. You
- 0:03see, first you put two metal plates on
- 0:06the floor, sit down right above them,
- 0:07and hold a steel ball in each hand.
- 0:09Then, you just let yourself drift off.
- 0:11Now, here's the weird part. The second
- 0:13you fall asleep, your hands go limp, the
- 0:15balls smash into the plates, and the
- 0:17noise jolts you awake. Sounds like the
- 0:19worst nap ever, but Thomas Edison was
- 0:21rumored to do it on purpose. That's
- 0:23because right before deep sleep, your
- 0:25brain hits a strange halfway state
- 0:26called hypnagogia, where it starts
- 0:28connecting ideas it never would while
- 0:30you're awake. Normally, you sink right
- 0:32past it and forget everything. But the
- 0:33crash yank you out right in the middle
- 0:35of it. So, you wake up holding the idea
- 0:37instead of the balls.
