"Preliminary studies suggested that little or none of the content of the lectures on a course given by one of us (MBS) was actually retained for more than 0-3 kiloseconds, and that recall was inversely proportional to the prevalence of sleep or dreaming among the audience, or both."
What makes him a real scientist is casually using kiloseconds instead of minutes 😂
So I don’t think you were fully advised about people sleeping in meetings in Japan. Being overworked and tired is at best a secondary effect. Generally, sleeping in a meeting, especially if you’re a higher up with influence, means you know what’s going on and are happy with it. It should be read as a comfort sign to the presenter. Unless the sleeper is sitting by the window. But that’s still OK, because people by the window have no influence on anything.

"Based on the results of the EEG, the scientists could then ask the audience members who fell asleep what they were dreaming about."
...or rather what they *claimed* to be dreaming about - we all know what a randy bunch medics are !!
