An Apple Sleep Experiment Novels & Stories

I hated this guilty feeling as I looked up at his peaceful face, moving aside the hair on his forehead with feather-light fingers. Just as softly, I took his hand from my waist and placed it on my pillow as I got up from the bed and moved away slowly, so as not to cause much disturbance. The herb that I had mixed in his food wasn't any high grade sleeping pill that was filled with chemicals, so I was a little skeptical about its workings. But seeing Alex sleeping so peacefully gave me relief. It meant that the herb was working.

I said, marking territory. “Giving me just one won’t hurt,” Lorenzo replied. “I don’t want to,” I said while sudden tears rolled down my eyes. “It’s fine. Eat all of it,” Lorenzo said. I smiled, took another apple, and munched on it till every apple in the tray disappeared into my stomach. I let out a satisfying yawn while I felt my back slipping into the bed to take a quick nap. Lorenzo helped position me well on the bed while he petted and stroked my back. I found myself drifting into sleep, dreaming of the wonderlands.

The rest was private. He noticed that Alexander slept better. He knew this not from being told but from the specific evidence of the mornings — the quality of Alexander's presence at the kitchen island, which had always been complete and focused and which was now also rested. The four-hour nights had become six-hour nights and occasionally seven, which Elijah knew because of the particular quality of a person who has slept enough versus a person who is running on competence and determination.

Leon's eyes lit up with delight as he quickly said, "Thanks, Nyla!" Nyla smiled. "Alright, let's get ready for the experiment." With her help, the experiment went smoothly this time. By 6:00 a.m., Leon let out a huge sigh of relief as he looked at the data on the computer screen. He turned to share the good news with Nyla, only to find her fast asleep at the table. The words he was about to say died in his throat, and he instinctively quieted his breathing.

Melanie held onto her pillow and peacefully fell asleep… Jeffrey stared at the screen for a long time. He felt mixed emotions… - When Melanie woke up the next morning, she felt refreshed. It seemed Jefford's hypnosis technique was indeed professional. She went to retrieve her cell phone. It was nearly out of battery. Melanie was shocked when she saw the duration of the video call last night. 'Two hours and thirty-six minutes!' It felt like it only took her five minutes to fall asleep. Could it be that… The man on the other end of the call had watched her sleep for two and a half hours?

"She wouldn't let me wake you up. I tried to tell her." "Power nap?" Alice sneered as the room flooded with light. "As if sleeping for a few minutes could make up for having a broken night's sleep. "But it can!" Roxy shot back hotly. "There's been loads of research done on it. If you don't believe me, look it up on the web." "Oh." The older woman tutted, raising her gaze to the ceiling. "Like I've got time to skate the web." "Surf the web," Roxy and I corrected in unison.

I hadn’t even answered before he flopped facedown on the rug, squeezing his eyes shut and breathing like he’d been asleep for three hours. The living room door opened, and Erick stepped in, iPad in hand, still in his rolled-sleeve dress shirt. “Hey, study partner,” he greeted, far too cheerful for someone just back from work. I just shrugged, glancing at the “sleeping” lump on the rug. “Your study partner’s taking a nap, I think.” Erick looked at Ash, who was very obviously wiggling his toes under his fake slumber. He came closer, crouching beside him.

The precision of his movements, the way he uses his strength, he looked recharged with a power nap after a long week of sleep deprivation. Days come and go until it's been three days since we first did a sleeping together trial. "It really helped, huh?" I said with a long sigh. It's day three and we just had our dinner. We agreed to have some coffee, so we're still sitting at the table outside. "Mm-mm." He agreed with a nod, sipping on his cup. "Well? What were your observations? I'd like to know." He placed the cup down and looked at me. "Sleeping together--"

The boy is active, trying to climb onto his lap, slowly falling down. The man nodded, holding the boy in one hand, keeping him out of contact with the floor. He shook his back straight. When he slept, he slouched like shrimps. It's a bit painful now. Unbelievable. His sleeping position was no different from torture, he slept soundly. A very deep, dreamless sleep. Wake up, he felt great. This sleep has not been experienced for more than ten years. Time to board the plane. Daisy still continues to apply the policy of "eating first, wading next."
