Oh it's beautiful hello hello a crazy thing is good in this place that we will have to spend

30 hours together we invite you today to share an exceptional evening with our guests

who have agreed to lend themselves to an unprecedented experience in France to deprive themselves of sleep for

more than 30 hours the doctors of this show are assassins friends are you going to hold

the neck is that your behavior will change so rest assured it's not free torture what impact will sleep deprivation have on their mood I get angry I get angry oh la la it's a game guys on their physical ability I'm going to walk because there I'm starting to have a nosebleed and intellectual what excites me in this experience is that inevitably there will be repercussions so what repercussions to know marie portolano michel

cimes to put them to the test

an unprecedented experience to know everything about sleep and tips for

sleep better we can spend better nights by changing your

diet ideal is to practice your sport three hours before going to bed

but beware in this experience who sleeps father

but what then who will best resist lack of sleep every second is a

torture you eat again we all have this technique who will reach the final at the end of the night

I tell you after 30 hours what will be the resources we will use at this moment I don't know

live tonight the great experience of the summit is that someone can go take the step francis whether they are small or big sleepers insomnia that they are borrowed from the game of this great experience and I ask you to welcome them the comedian little egg the comedian linda

but also caroline margerie of the generous buyer and the comedian francis perrin good evening

we are not tired francis francis sing less than the others francis is tired

I'm tired but I'm tired of it so how are you all fine we are happy to see you in full strength it would amaze me

here is the second one no one suffered if we all suffered I really want to talk about it no no in fact

one person did not suffer and the five others a lot yeah we will see in a few moments who we

have observed you we have studied you we tested you during hours in this lab and

that under the supervision of Dr.

Remy Lombard specialist of sleep disorders and now

on this set you will pass a series of tests to see how you can resist

lack of sleep this deprivation of sleep a goal that we will never cease to repeat

is to raise awareness of the importance of good sleep today 42% of you suffer from

sleep disorder and especially the french go from less sleep to better sleep

in less time in their beds,

isn't it Michel?

Yes, absolutely.

Look at this figure which is quite astonishing.

In 50 years, we have lost 1 hour and a half of sleep per night.

It's huge and this worrying statement is the same everywhere in the world.

So thank you for accepting to be our volunteers.

Do you know what awaits you?

Well no.

What awaits you, you will see, is a series of experiences

which are all crazier than the others

and which will allow us to evaluate the immediate incidence of lack of sleep

on your cognitive abilities.

Why are you looking at me?

Because you are facing me Caroline,

but it will be the case for everyone.

Concentration, resistance to pain.

Oh no! What?

They are crazy! And emotions.

And these experiences will be eliminatory.

You are 6 at the end of the evening,

so there will be only one or no one left for the final test.

If you lose a test,

look at what awaits you.

You will return to the lab with a badge.

You will have the privilege to lie down on a bed of pillows.

But be careful, you must not fall asleep.

Because at the end of the show...

Oh la la la la la la la! That's not cool!

It's a super pillow! It's normal that there are Dark Vador like that!

What is the next one?

What is the next one?

It's so that you have your head in the dark and you fall asleep.

They will lock us up in the dark! In fact,

we are quite sadistic because it's true that it's not very nice.

No, it's not very nice.

But the goal is that everyone stays awake for the longest time because at the key there is a gift in favor of the association.

Thank you very much! 4,000 euros,

listen carefully for the finalists,

3,500 euros for the others,

provided that you stay awake until the end of the show.

Oh, that's no problem! And 2,000 euros if you fall asleep.

Thank you anyway! It's already great! Are you ready,

my dear friends?

Yes!

We will start in a few moments.

But first, we really want to know what happened in the lab.

We are looking at your arrival right away and a summary of the first hours.

Look! It is here that our six participants will put their suitcases for the next 30 hours.

Wow,

that's beautiful! And they have one instruction,

do not fall asleep.

Wow!

Oh no, it's beautiful!

Ok!

There is everything in fact! Ah, the bike!

But it's great!

Ah, it's the sports corner!

Oh, it's beautiful anyway!

Well, listen Linda, it's very pretty at home!

In fact, it is in this place that we will have to spend 30 hours together.

But it's huge, really, for people I've never seen in my life!

I am Maso, I could be at home right now,

I could go to bed with my little night cream.

Ah, are you going to do sports?

Bravo!

I

know I don't know if you have a health card.

You too are going to do sports.

I'm going to put my life on the line! Me too!

Hey, it's very pretty! Did you see if there was honey?

There is no kid's basketball game?

Ah yeah! There must be a basketball game!

There is no promise! They were not chosen by chance.

Their common point is that they all have the taste of the challenge and are willing for this unprecedented experience.

Go Francis!

I'm interested to see how I'm going to hold my neck!

In what state are you going to be?

Will your behavior change?

Will I become like that?

I'm always in a good mood! Will I finally be in a bad mood?

Well, I don't know! I put it like that! Ah yes! Exactly! And you bring the ball back like that! Be careful because with all the poachis we eat since earlier ...

It's very difficult!

It is 22 hours.

Our participants have been living together for only 5 hours,

but very quickly they understand that they are used to sleeping with the hens.

We just arrived in the lab,

that's what she told me.

I'm starting to get a little tired!

It's going to be complicated,

especially since I have never had a white night.

Linda is perceived by others as the perfect lady of the group.

Her sleep is set like a Swiss watch.

Are you a big sleeper?

Yes, I'm a big sleeper.

How much do you sleep?

For me, to be well, it's between 7h30 and 8h30 minimum.

Ah, still!

On the contrary,

Titoff, Hugo and Gwendal are in good shape for the moment.

It's normal,

these late sleepers are used to being up at night.

I didn't sleep before 5h,

5h ...

What?

6h in the morning! Oh my!

At the same time,

I think it's hard when you get out of bed,

to go home and tell yourself I'm going to bed right now.

Yes, but ...

I don't want to have a moment of life!

Our

three candidates who work rather late,

Gwendal, Hugo and Titoff, should show less signs of sleep deprivation in the evening at the start.

On the other hand, the next morning,

they are likely to be a little more impacted by sleep deprivation than our late sleepers.

Ah, it seems that it's very funny!

Francis,

with his old age,

only sleeps 5h per night.

You see, we put the D and then ...

Caroline also sleeps very little,

but her energy seems inexhaustible.

You know that during the Covid,

I made a video,

I made a chocolate cake that makes you lose weight.

Wow! Caroline is extraordinary! She doesn't stop talking,

she always has a voice!

I have the hand in the middle of August,

on the Mont-Servant,

in helicopter, because I took the helicopter.

Sometimes I hear at 2am,

my face that is open,

your choupi that is coming.

Ah, that's sure that she will exhaust us,

yes.

But at least it's good,

it gives us strength to stay attentive.

I'm not tired at all,

that's why I talk all the time.

Yes.

Will Caroline really last?

Who will have to fight the most quickly against fatigue?

Night only makes you start.

As you can see,

we placed ourselves on the set for the first elimination test of the evening.

It is not a construction site,

but a test of the sand merchant,

which takes place in

two times.

I'll explain to you,

listen to me carefully.

You

will have one minute to transport,

using a rope, as much sand as possible in your sable.

Then you will sit on the side of your desk to assemble cards in two.

At my top start,

you will open the valve that is here to count the sable.

Once your sable has been poured,

you have to raise your hands and stop assembling the cards.

Okay.

Very good.

The person eliminated will be the one who will have the least number of cards assembled.

Be careful, let's go! Oh Francis,

he's on the lookout!

3, 2, 1, go!

It's an empire!

One second!

There's probably not enough sable.

8, 7, 6, 5, 4,

3, 2, 1,

go! It's hard!

Wait!

It's okay, let's say that...

Wait, Cédric! Wait!

Now we're going to take our breath.

I did well to put some black.

You will sit next to your sable.

I will stay close to Francis,

who seems completely disoriented.

So no! You have to know that Francis can sleep with his eyes open.

Maybe he's sleeping.

In any case, your sables are well filled.

Bravo! I hope we don't have to put them back in the boxes after, the sable.

We have our work to do afterwards,

if we can continue,

if you want.

No problem.

Come on, we're going to continue.

At my top start,

you open the valve.

Yes.

Okay.

3, 2, 1, go!

I stay with Francis.

It's horrible! Not bad,

not bad, you're great!

Shit! Not bad!

Gwendal! No!

Oh, Gwendal!

It's not bad, not bad, not bad!

There are some who do very well,

there are some who are in trouble.

Oh yeah, I'm shaking! Are you okay, Francis?

Francis! Francis!

Francis!

Come on, Francis!

Shit! She's falling! Come on, Gwendal! I'm shaking!

And Gwendal is struggling too!

Come on, Gwendal!

Come on, Gwendal! Come on, Gwendal! Stop!

Stop, Francis! No, keep going! I'm scared! So, Francis,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 for Francis.

Careful,

Caroline, it's almost over! No! Caroline,

yes! It's good.

Stop, Caroline! 18!

Yes!

20! 20, normally.

22, 22 for Tito.

I have a orphan here.

Gwendal finished too! You're done?

So, Gwendal, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

Please, Gwendal!

It's hot! I'm shaking! I'm shaking!

So, here we have 1,

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20!

Go, Gwendal!

So,

Francis, if you understood the rules well,

since you listened to me well before,

you are the first to join the Lab.

Well, I'm so happy! I'm going to bed!

You're going to bed! No,

unfortunately.

Come with me, I'll explain.

No, it's going to be worse than for the others.

Wait, give him a hug! Francis! Thank you.

It was great!

You're not sleeping?

You're not sleeping?

No, no, no.

You're sleeping with your eyes open.

Yes, like that.

You're doing the habit.

Because he's sleeping with his eyes open.

Yes.

But he proved it to us.

It's possible.

I'm going to explain how the lack of sleep impacts performances.

And you come with me,

Francis.

Yes.

Bravo, Francis! Bravo! Yeah! Go to bed! Well, no, unfortunately.

Yes, so, indeed, it's normal.

We saw that the guests lacked precision.

Well, not all of them.

Especially Francis, when they tried to build their map castle.

And here, too, the scientific study results on precision are quite surprising.

In the United States,

with tennis players, 20 players were tested.

After a 5-hour sleep restriction only,

we saw a decrease in precision of their services,

going up to 53% compared to those who had spent a normal night.

Wow! So, the good news is that a good sleep can also make us more precise.

Thank you, Michel.

So, we advise all athletes not to neglect their sleep time.

So, Francis, you will be able to try to catch up with yours.

Even if I don't advise you to do it yet,

because you know that if you don't fall asleep,

you have a 3500 euros donation to your association.

So, I'll explain what's going to happen.

You're going to lie down.

Go ahead.

I'm lying down.

You're going to be the first to inaugurate one of these comfortable beds.

You're going to be plunged into the darkness with just an infrared camera above you.

Yes.

And to make sure you're not asleep,

we're going to give you a little balloon that you're going to hold between two fingers.

And the balloon, you're eliminated,

Francis.

I'm going to take it off.

And your pillow will stop at 2000 euros.

Did you hear that?

Yes, very well.

Wait, he's going to tie the balloon to the bed.

So, Francis, we're going to equip you now with a helmet.

You won't hear us anymore.

You're going to hear a soft, relaxing music.

It's not going to be long.

No, but for two hours.

Francis is plunged, you understand,

into the complete darkness,

almost complete.

Michel, when it's dark, why do you fall more easily into Morphée's arms?

I'll explain that to you,

but it's really not that.

Everyone on the set is laughing,

saying it's really torture.

Michel, I have the impression that Francis is saying to himself,

2000 euros is good for the association.

All that for that, what?

So, indeed,

we all have an internal clock,

which is a kind of alarm clock in the brain that will give the tempo of sleep.

This clock is located in what we call the hypothalamus.

So how does it get up to date?

Well, thanks to the light.

It's the main synchronizer of our clock,

whether it's day or night.

Our retina will capture the information,

will transmit it to our body.

So that's what happens during a classic night.

When it's dark, like in the bed of our candidate Francis,

the body will start secreting what it has done for a while.

Besides, the sleep hormone is melatonin.

What it has to do is to make this melatonin disappear,

taking advantage of cortisol,

which is the wake-up hormone.

So, to be honest, I have a very simple advice.

When you get up,

expose yourself as quickly as possible to natural light.

Open the curtains, go to the bakery,

have your breakfast outside.

Do whatever you want,

but it's the best way to synchronize your sleep.

Poor thing! It's horrible!

It's horrible!

It's a bit silly.

The music is all amused.

The music is not cool.

Yes, it's not cool.

You spent more than 30 hours with him.

Do you think he will fall asleep?

Yes, in 5 minutes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

So, did he already throw a balloon?

We saw a balloon pass towards Biarritz, I think.

Do you each have a bedroom that you love,

which you are dreaming about,

without a doubt, right now, of course.

But does this bedroom favor your sleep?

Is it well arranged,

arranged,

arranged?

Is it at the right temperature?

Michel, you have prepared a little tutorial of good advice for an ideal bedroom.

So, indeed, I have given you a few little tutorials with the help of my guinea pig,

Vanessa, and her assistant,

Clément.

Look.

To sleep well, the bedroom must not be crowded.

Exit screens,

things that are going on,

make table razz of everything that could remind you of bad memories.

The bedroom must be a haven of peace,

and every detail counts.

The temperature.

The ideal is not to exceed 19 degrees.

Your body will thus plunge faster into sleep.

The light.

Trace the slightest light source.

A locked or transparent curtain.

A portable screen can disturb your sleep cycle.

The noise.

It is the worst enemy of your nights.

An airplane in the sky,

a motorcycle passing by.

A notification on the phone is enough to provoke alarm clocks that impact the quality of sleep.

As for the mattress,

it is always the same dilemma.

Hard or soft?

Between the two.

To choose it, there are two tips.

Lie on your back,

pass your hand between the mattress and the lumbars.

If it doesn't work,

it's because your bed is too firm.

Another method, press on a elbow.

If it sinks,

it's because the bed is too soft.

Finally, to the question, should you sleep head north or south?

No, the other east.

It's the other side.

Not true for the fans of Feng Shui.

It's the south east.

It's the south east.

Who still has problems sleeping in the south-east centre of France?

Michigan's global sulky website

as long as possible.

Without blinking.

Yes, with open eyes, without blinking too much.

A test that we reproduced twice to see the evolution of the

climate depending on your fatigue and there is one

that is very strong.

Look at the

lab,

it is 3 a.m.

and the first signs of fatigue are

multiplied on all faces.

Don't fall asleep Francis.

I'm tired, I

had a moment of

fatigue, really very very felt.

It starts to sting,

in

fact what is there,

what is starting to be difficult is not knowing what to do to kill time.

Against all odds,

our bedbugs are already fighting against their bodies.

If I don't stop until 3 a.m.

I can hold on until 3 a.m.

but here are the moments when we will find ourselves on the sofa where precisely we are not stimulated.

And they still have more than 15 hours to hold on

and for the time being remembered,

we have everything planned.

I'm not sleeping!

The alarm is triggered every time the eyes close.

Who is it that is sleeping?

I was not sleeping there.

So now we can not sleep.

The poor thing! Our biological clock determines the periods of the day during which we will be the most awake and the periods where precisely our awakening will be at the lowest.

We know the period of 13 to 15 hours after the meal where we tend to have a nosebleed and we have another period between 3 and 5 a.m.

our ability to wake up is at the lowest.

He said to me,

I will show you what a hen is,

he turned upside down his head into the pillow.

I said don't do that,

what in the cushions?

I said don't do that,

you will fall asleep straight away.

There is solidarity and that makes me happy because every time there is someone who starts to prick a little nose,

well, hop, one after the other we try to catch up.

But without it being prepared,

I think all this is quite unconscious.

And to measure their fatigue,

place for a new challenge.

Oh damn, Lina, she's going to make us do sports.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm tired.

So, are you starting to feel the fatigue?

No.

Your eyelids are heavy.

Mesmer coming.

In a minute,

everyone will have to,

in turn, keep their eyes open as long as possible without bending their eyelids.

Go!

A calvary for Hugo.

Two, three, four, five.

Open your eyes well,

open the big ones there.

Four, five.

I have hypersensitive eyes and they dry very quickly.

And you are hyper-difficult,

in addition, the lights are strong.

Wow!

Did

you win?

Yeah.

Hey, it stings! One.

Courage, you're almost at 30 seconds.

You're strong, huh?

The clinging of the eyes is explained by two phenomena.

The first is that the cornea needs to stay lubricated.

The more we stay awake,

the more it dries,

the more we will cling the eyes to lubricate it.

This is the role of the eyelids.

The second element is that we ignore it,

but we have muscles here that allow us to look right,

left, to close the eyelids.

The more we get tired,

the more these muscles will also get tired.

Come on, do it.

Three, four.

In fact, as soon as I speak,

I close my eyes.

Well, yes, it's normal, it's a reflex.

Five.

Five.

Six.

Six.

For the first 30 seconds,

I clinged my eyes seven times.

And I went to the crossroads.

Focus.

And then, the interruption of clinging the eyes.

And I didn't cling in 30 seconds.

How?

To survive in the lab,

everyone understands that they will now have to move.

But what strategy will they adopt?

They have 15 hours to show themselves inventive.

Come on, baby!

Let's go.

Come on, baby! Come on, baby!

Give me your big,

big eyes! I'm tired.

Sing with me.

Come on! I'm here with you! Here with you!

Michel,

this test is seemless if I may say so.

What would you advise to those watching us so as not to wear out their eyes?

It's our lifestyles which gradually wear our eyes out.

And the main responsible,

of course, is the screens.

We spend on average 32 hours a week on our computers,

our mobile phones.

So to reduce the risk,

your eyes need to vary.

It is very important to have a close and a far vision.

So you have to walk,

you have to look at the distance every 20 minutes at least.

Do not work too close to your screen.

You have to position it at least 70 cm from your face.

And Michel, one of the other consequences of lack of sleep is lack of reaction.

Yes, absolutely.

When we have a bad sleep,

we are slower to react.

You know, the reflexes will decrease.

They will make a person less efficient at work or at school,

for example.

This is what we will see right away on the set.

But first, to take a good look at the evolution of your reflexes,

we are going to watch a little magneto.

You remember, we tested your reflexes yesterday at your entrance to the lab,

while you were still in top form.

We look and then compare.

We see a big machine coming.

We say to ourselves,

what is it?

A tyrolian?

I do not know.

Dear friends, this machine is not a torture instrument,

but a simple procedure that serves to evaluate your reflexes.

You are more confident then?

We have the hand in a pylori and when the ruler falls,

we do not know when it falls,

we have to catch it as soon as possible.

I can start.

Go ahead.

It's horrible.

13.

Not bad.

I'm good like that.

17.

13.

Bravo.

12.5.

Good.

Not bad.

But it's very 13.

13.

Come on, go.

13.

It's hard.

Wow.

Well played.

But what will happen to their reflexes after 30 hours without sleeping in the lab?

Great.

The answer right away on the set.

So, the day after your white night and this unusual day that is not yet quite over,

let's see where your reflexes are now.

I remind you that it's been at least 33 hours since you woke up.

I reassure you, it is not an elimination test.

It's just an evaluation like that to have fun a little bit.

Who was the most performing in the lab?

It's you, Titaphe.

Bravo.

You were the closest to zero on the rule.

You were at 8,

followed by Francis, who was at 10,

Gwenda at 12, Hugo, Elinda and Caroline.

Where is his balloon,

by the way?

Well, let's see where Francis is.

I think he can sleep without letting go of the balloon.

He didn't have it.

Bravo.

Bravo, Francis.

It's very good, Francis.

Come on, let's go.

Let's test your reflexes.

Come on.

Titophe was clever because I saw that he was looking at the top of the stick,

Titophe.

So, I remind you that you have to get closer to the plus of zero,

graduated from the stick.

So, here, it's Michel who will start the start of the stick.

And I do what I want,

Caroline.

I have no doubt,

Michel.

No, because if I want to press,

I press.

If I don't want to press,

I don't press.

Oh, not bad.

13,

13, not bad.

I'm constant, Michel.

13.

13.

We look at the slow motion.

Look, she did the same as in the lab.

I'm not moving.

Not bad, huh?

I'm constant.

Oh yeah.

I'm not saying I'm constant.

Your reflexes.

I'm not moving.

Are we going?

Come on.

So, Titophe, I'm going to count.

3, 2, 1.

I cheat, but no, I cheat.

12.

Not bad, not bad.

12.

We're going to watch the replay.

That's it.

He's trying to get me.

How much does it do?

Look, look.

It means that you have the same energy as Arnaïm.

I'm telling you, I'm equal to my strength.

Who wants to stick to it?

Linda is ambidextrous.

So, I'm ambidextrous.

It's very complicated.

I never know which side.

So, I'm going to...

You feel better.

I'm going to do it like that.

It's good?

Are

you ready?

Yeah.

Oh,

wow.

No, but it's normal,

frankly.

No, but it's good.

It's good.

Because...

It's a joke, it's not falling.

This one, she grabbed the stick.

You did 13.

Paloma, 20.

Come on.

I have the worst score,

me.

But no, go ahead.

How much was it, Paloma?

13.

13.

Come on, come on.

They're going to concentrate.

It's not fair.

No,

we can't start again.

We can't start again.

We can't start again.

The worst is that even if I had focused,

I would have certainly done the same.

I say we have the right to a second chance.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, be careful.

Yes.

Be careful.

14.

Self-control.

14.

It's still shitty.

No, no, it's not bad.

It's not bad.

How much did it do?

It was the same.

He had...

Gwendal.

Yes.

14, great.

Gwendal.

Is it good for...

Come on, come on.

Gwendal.

Yes.

We have great hands.

Gwendal.

It's not hard anymore.

What?

They didn't have enough fabric to do both sides the same or not?

Since the beginning, I'm asking myself the question.

No, but I would teach you,

Michel.

The hand must be straight, Gwendal.

18.

What do you say?

18.

No, it's hard.

No, we had great hands.

As long as she did it,

the thing fell already.

How much was it?

18.

18.

And at the beginning,

what was it?

12.

12.

No, but we saw it.

Some of you made a better score in the lab,

of course, before being deprived of sleep.

You all have more or less failed,

we're not going to lie.

How do we explain this lack of reflexes,

Michel?

So, with a lack of sleep,

the neurons, you know,

are slowing down.

It was even recently demonstrated by an international research team.

So, every human being has 100 billion neurons in the brain.

All of them?

All of them.

Even the idiots?

Even the idiots.

Intelligence is not linked to the number of neurons,

but to the connections between them.

And we lose 100,000 neurons a day since birth.

Don't worry, there's more than enough left for the future.

So, researchers measured their activity.

They discovered that after a deprivation of sleep,

some areas of the brain were like asleep.

Some neurons go from sportsman to sloth.

When we treat an information,

the connections between neurons are reduced,

delayed and longer.

And that, in all regions of the brain.

I found a kind of very speaking metaphor.

Because you know that a person who sleeps 6 hours a night for 2 weeks,

or less than what is recommended for an adult,

we're talking about average sleepers,

will have the same reaction time as a person who has 1 gram of alcohol per liter.

Well, I'm always drunk.

Yes.

No, but it's absolutely crazy.

That's the explanation.

I understand.

Yes, we understand.

But what's incredible is that you have understood that even 1 hour less on our night can have harmful effects on our brain.

So, how do you feel there?

Do you have an altered vision?

Do you see blurry?

No, but we feel that when we get up,

for example, it's a bit...

Oh yes?

I'm much more excited.

It's a bit weird.

But there's a little bit of sleep.

And I can't articulate.

It's the pastry chef since this morning.

The famous feeling of being drunk.

Listen,

Jean-Pierre Foucault, I think that...

I don't feel particularly disturbed by the lack of sleep.

No, but you have to recognize one thing,

it's that we're here shooting a TV show,

so...

Sorry?

Adrenaline.

You have a bit of adrenaline,

anyway.

Yes.

Yes, that's what keeps us awake.

We talked about it with Titov earlier.

Indeed, the adrenaline you have because there's a TV show and because we're shooting,

probably makes you have,

as earlier with the stick, more important reflexes.

And then you hold your breath much more than if you were...

Because we're together.

Like Francis, with a balloon.

Exactly.

And then, if I may...

And then, if I may... He still hasn't let go.

So, we're going to take a little look at Francis.

Where is he, Francis?

Is he sleepy?

Is he holding on?

There's no more Francis in the balloon.

Oh my God! Francis!

So...

But I'm the only one who's not...

So...

But wait, look! You saw the number of glasses he has?

Oh, that's great! There, he has the eyes.

He's got two fingers,

there.

Look.

So, in the lab,

he was almost two minutes without bending his fingers.

Yes, but it's amazing.

And without breathing.

Honestly, congratulations to Francis.

That's right.

And he has to...

Oh no! Oh no! The balloon, the balloon.

No, Francis! Francis! Francis!

Francis! Francis! Francis!

That's so much for bending! I want to because this light really makes me feel good, I must say.

It's true, it's true that we're not very...

We don't want to go.

He's struggling, he's struggling!

He's holding on, he's holding on, he's resisting!

It's crazy,

it's crazy!

It's typical,

when you start falling asleep and you don't want to,

and you're there, and that's what happens in the car,

we'll talk about it later,

but we're there, diving,

and then hop! Bravo to Francis, he's resisting very well.

He seems to be well in his bed,

and by the way,

she's well in her bed,

Michel, it's one of the number one conditions to sleep well,

there are simple tips,

you have prepared a little tutorial for us.

Absolutely!

A third of our existence is the time we spend on our mattress.

To optimize these precious hours,

there are a number of evening rituals that will guarantee you a good night's sleep.

Take a shower before going to bed,

it de-stresses and above all it lowers the body temperature,

which will help your body to get up early.

Once in bed, the world is divided into two,

those who sleep naked and those who sleep in pajamas,

they are 90% in France.

Who's right?

From the opinion of specialists,

it's the nudity that takes it away.

And yes, it avoids overheating the body.

The ideal position to fall into the arms of Morphée has been studied closely by British experts.

The one to avoid is by far the position on the belly,

it digs the back,

prevents a good breath and disturbs digestion.

On the back, it's good for the spine,

but not for your neighbor's ears.

The best position is on the side,

in a fetal position,

the muscles are relaxed and the back is preserved.

All this must be repeated with great regularity.

You go to bed and get up at the same time,

including the weekend.

It is at this military regime that you will see a considerable decrease in your fatigue.

Get up! Get up! Get up! Hey, rest!

It's good!

Michelle, we don't hold back,

all these go's in the face of sleep,

there are three types of sleepers,

we said it, there are short sleepers,

medium sleepers and long sleepers,

of which I am one.

Long sleepers?

How many?

Well, 9 hours, 9 hours.

8 hours! 9 hours,

9 hours! Well, I should sleep 8 hours if I want to be in shape.

And what time do you get up for the morning?

I get up at 3 o'clock, so it's difficult.

So you go to bed the day before?

I go to bed at 9 p.m.,

so I only do 6 hours,

so that's it, it's a disaster.

It's good 6 hours anyway.

And you, big sleeper or medium sleeper, small sleeper?

Big sleeper, 7-8 hours minimum,

but 6 hours, 5 hours, it's okay.

But I don't hear the alarm.

Yeah, so it's okay.

Me, 7-8 hours too, rather 8 hours.

Me, irregular,

it can be 4 hours or 9 hours,

but I always wake up in good mood, frankly.

When I'm on tour,

I have to sleep a lot to get my voice back,

we realized that, by the way, we all have the voice exhausted from having had a white night,

and I need, I think, at least 6 hours,

5-6 hours.

And Caroline, how much?

Max 4 hours, and it suits me.

But what time do you go to bed in the evening?

At night, 1 hour, I sleep about 4 hours.

You go to bed at midnight,

you sleep 4 hours?

Yeah.

Yeah, when would you have to go to bed at 3 o'clock?

No, because unlike you, Titoff, I love my bed.

Ah yeah.

But Caro, she's amazing, because she brought you all...

It's also thanks to her that we brought you the bed for the first time.

We can all confirm,

we had moments where we saw the eyes,

or the livid skin and all that.

And Caroline, frankly, it was...

Well, like the thing, I did 12, the same.

Michel, what is the ideal length of sleep?

The length...

There is no ideal length,

it is extremely variable from one individual to another.

Some are long sleepers,

like you, with needs of sleep of 9 hours or more.

There are even some who need 12 hours a night.

It limits what we can do during the day,

anyway.

There are the average sleepers who are in the norm,

and who represent about 80% of the population.

They sleep between 7 and 9 hours a night.

While the short sleepers,

who are very few,

need less than 6 hours,

and that's my case.

But I don't want to talk about me.

Ah, well, that's it.

And it's fine, right?

Yeah, and it's fine.

So you prepared a little survey on particular profiles,

Michel.

Yes, you're going to look at pictures of political personalities.

What do you think is their common point?

Look.

Ah, well...

Well, they don't sleep.

Well, they're on the right.

Yes, there is one among them that we wonder if it's really a political one.

All of them have admitted to sleep very little,

less than 5 hours a night.

So it's pretty crazy,

because we know that these are our politicians,

and that they make important decisions every day.

Is it possible to sleep so little?

Yes.

That's what we call the short sleepers.

Caroline is a good example.

It represents a maximum of 10% of the population.

The explanation is genetic.

Scientists have identified in these short sleepers the mutation of a gene that increases the production of orexin.

Remember the name, Caroline, because we'll ask you why you don't sleep much.

Ah, yes.

Pio Scrabble pays for it.

There are 7 letters with an X.

A molecule that facilitates the awakening,

the orexin.

the result is that they sleep on average 2 hours less than the others,

without being tired.

And some sleep only 3h30 a night.

3h30, that's pretty incredible.

And for the anecdote,

the former president of the United States,

Bill Clinton, admitted during a conference that lack of sleep has influenced some of his decisions during critical moments of his presidency.

We didn't detail the critical moments of his presidency.

We don't know what it is.

He didn't say it.

He didn't say it.

So, do you remember when you were a child,

when you were told a story before going to bed?

Yes.

Do you perhaps tell your children about it?

Yes.

Well, I'll suggest one.

This one is a story about sleeping while standing.

And it's an elimination test.

They're going to do something horrible to us.

They're going to put us up.

It's even worse than that.

Listen carefully.

In a few moments,

you're going to listen to a story.

You'll have to be careful because you have to count in your head first the number of times you're going to hear the pronoun « he ».

Whether it's singular or plural.

You don't have the right to help yourself

by counting with your fingers.

At the end of the story,

I'll ask you to write down on the paper that Michel is going to give you the number of times you think you heard the pronoun « he ».

Did you understand?

Of course.

In case of equality,

I'll disperse you if you give me money.

You're going to do that with Caroline.

In case of equality,

I'll disperse you by asking you a question.

Very well.

Is everyone ready?

There's going to be a homonymy party.

Let's go.

Oh, I love it!

Ah, wow! I love it! Ah,

I love it!

I love it!

It's serious.

It's the lady of the TV.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

That's why she's here.

Star of Missy, there.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Slowly.

Always.

There's no need to say, he became stupid.

Yet, they weren't those who let themselves be beaten.

And we must say that they were hard to hurt,

as torture was so painful,

far from their homes.

For if there is a very little docile supplication,

it is to leave like an imbecile,

far from the arms of Morphée,

at the risk of ending up in asylum.

There were some who were beating, resembling old fossils.

There were others who had trouble losing their fossils.

And many of them who had to stay,

crossing the forts in a fragile dignity.

They had to stay awake,

they whispered.

Some already dreamed of an idyll who would lead them illico in their beds.

But none knew really if they would hold on to the end of the challenge and if the victory was only an illusion.

For at this precise moment of the adventure,

in their six workplaces, it was Chernobyl.

Illusible were their thoughts,

so much so that rest was now in short supply.

Nothing horrified them, they felt illiterate in addition to this cruel feeling of illegitimacy.

They even had bad breath and the chlorophyll chewing gums were lacking in the shovel.

Some were scurrying around,

immobile.

They were ostensibly tending because the challenge was not mercantile.

Others were trying skillfully to disguise what their reptilian brains revealed as more futile.

But

all of them, for sure, wondered who would be the most illustrious one to stay awake in the adversity of this loggish trap.

Bravo! Bravo!

Thank you very much Charlotte!

Thank you!

Charlotte Deneau, author, singer, storyteller.

In which era?

Every Saturday, next to Léa Salamé on France 2.

Good evening Charlotte!

Good evening Marie!

I hope you listened carefully and remembered the number of the ILEs,

so ILEs, plural or singular.

The one who will be the most distant from the correct answer will join the lab,

of course.

You note your answer on the ardoise.

We don't have the same answers at all!

It's a mistake to read and concentrate like that, it eats energy!

Come on, let's turn your ardoises!

1, 2, 3, go ahead, show us!

No, on the other side!

20, 22, 10, 20,

23.

Is it Charlotte who will say the correct answer?

We have a perfect match! We

have a perfect match!

I think so.

We have a perfect match.

Marie, it's your turn.

How many ILEs were there in your story?

23 ILEs in this story!

Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

So, what happened,

Linda?

What happened,

Linda?

Every time she said,

there were, for me, it's the front.

Linda,

it was me in high school.

Even when I cheated,

I had a bad grade.

I swear! No, but...

There were, singular pronoun, ILEs.

Yes! They were, plural pronoun, ILEs.

Does lack of sleep make you a bad loser?

You are a bad loser even when you sleep.

You'll see it in the magnetos.

We saw one, that's why I'm telling you.

After, frankly, there is not a big gap,

it's just...

Yes, we had a big gap.

There are only 13,

there are only 13 ILEs,

my friend. I'll tell you a funny thing.

Every time you said ILEs,

I was watching one of our...

What's your name?

Ah, you were watching one of our...

Ah, if he was marking,

at the same time.

...

of our viewers.

And I was saying,

that's it, ILEs.

And every ILE, paf, paf, paf, paf, paf.

And then the problem is the pink sweater that was higher.

Here, this one.

The pink sweater disturbed me.

And the other one,

next to it, he laughed and I said to myself,

they saw that I counted them.

Ah, it happened like that.

Bravo!

There.

I'm happy to have difficulties in all.

Thank you very much, Charlotte.

Melilla, I'll let you go with Charlotte.

Melilla! We were very, very...

You know the way.

Bravo, Melilla!

Bravo, Melilla! Bravo! It was eliminatory!

So, by the way, we're going to take a little nap in the lab.

We're going to see how our friend Francis is doing.

We're going to take a little nap, what he becomes.

Does he sleep?

Does he not sleep?

He's lying on his pillow.

We can see the face.

But he's sleeping!

He's so cute because he looks so happy to be sleeping.

But he's sleeping! But how does he let go of the ball?

He must have rolled it up.

Look,

he's holding it.

Maybe he's just resting.

So it is possible that he has a contraction of the index.

But he is very strong.

It's the cadaveric rigidity.

Maybe he's not.

What a rat! Is

there anyone who can take Francis' butt?

So, Michel, you're going to describe for us what just happened,

this test.

Why, when we sleep less or more,

do we have trouble concentrating?

Well, again,

I'm going to surprise you,

but it happens in the brain.

Really?

Yes, yes, yes.

All day long, we accumulate a lot of substances and toxins.

You can see them here represented by little dots.

The most famous is adenosine.

So, the more neurons consume energy,

the more they will produce this adenosine.

And in the evening,

before going to bed,

it is it that will promote this sleepiness and our sleepiness.

Sleeping allows precisely to eliminate this adenosine.

And if the great cleaning is not performed during the night,

this adenosine will slow down the activity of the neurons.

After a sleepless night,

we are then in a situation of practically continuous sleepiness.

This is what will happen when you leave this set.

And this is what happens with Francis.

We have micro-sleeps of only a few seconds,

which are barely noticeable,

but which have a real impact on our cognitive functions.

It is now time to test your short-term memory,

which can fail you after more than 30 hours without sleep.

We will let in the necessary material for this test.

You are four.

I remind you that at the end of this evening,

the finalist of this great experience of sleep will have the opportunity to offer a donation of 4,000 euros to the association of your choice.

So, place for the test.

Do you friends like construction games?

Yes.

Do you have the soul of a builder?

At this time, I don't know.

Well, you'll see.

Michel will show you a cube assembly.

You will have 10 seconds to memorize it,

then reproduce it as quickly as possible.

The first who thinks he has reproduced it identically,

presses the button and raises his hands.

If it's good, he is automatically qualified for the rest of the show.

The other three follow the second row and so on until the last one,

which will be eliminated and will join the lab.

The test is therefore played in three rows of growing difficulty.

In case of equality,

a fourth assembly will be proposed to disperse you.

Did everyone understand?

Yes Marie!

Well, great! You are in shape! It's nice! Are you ready friends?

Yes Marie!

Come on, let's go!

So,

I'm going to raise the bell.

You will see a cube assembly and shape.

You will do the same thing.

You have 10 seconds.

Oh, crap! To make the same.

10 seconds?

Yes.

Memorize! Ah ok.

7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

You have to be agile with your hands at the same time.

This is not the case of Titeuf, obviously.

Really?

That's it, in this order.

1, 2, 3, 4.

You will make the task easier.

It's perfect!

So, first we will see if the gentleman did not make a mistake.

Well, yes, he made a mistake.

A mistake!

Oh no!

That's it.

Second,

Caroline.

Neither.

Caroline, she made a mistake too?

Yes.

Paloma.

So, Paloma won.

Thank you! Paloma, you can go to bed.

A detail!

You are three now.

Oh yeah! I remind you that the one who will lose will be able to go to bed.

Excuse me doctor, we can still ...

You put all the cubes in the box.

That it was the good ...

I was not fast,

but it was ...

Ah! Yes, it was the good one,

but it's useless.

It's true! That's it.

Come on, Lola, so we can see.

So ...

Yes, if you want, arrange yourself.

That's it.

How is the color of the model?

It suits you?

Very good.

I am closer,

I can do it.

Second attention.

Are you ready?

Yes! Attention, 10 seconds.

I can do it too.

I'm going to do this one.

Yeah.

I ...

Yeah.

Oh, whatever, you have to memorize.

5, 4, 3,

2, 1.

Hop! There! I found it! Where is he?

He's there.

I already remember.

No,

you're not that, you're not that.

Huh?

It's not that.

It's incredible, me who is independent.

Shit! Yes, yes, we heard, Gwenda, it's good.

Hey! It's red, fast! Huh?

It's red.

It's irritable! I'm scared! Help me! You lost on the blue,

fast! You're going to sit down,

because it's not over,

huh?

It's red, stop! But in fact,

it's dead, I won! You're stupid,

but we don't care,

huh?

Damn, I'm not finished! He surprised me with the thing! No,

but we do it again,

wait! So you have noticed that lack of sleep makes you irritable?

No, but it's not ...

No,

but ...

He is over! It's okay,

it's okay, it's okay.

It's not a joke! It's not a joke! It's okay.

So,

Gwendal ...

It's true that you panicked.

I lost.

He won!

Bravo Gwendal! Also ...

So, the same, and there, he lost.

Well yes, but he came to play trumpet like that, damn!

Gwendal, we can sit down.

Bravo Gwendal, bravo!

It's not a joke,

it's not an association.

But then, it doesn't count! Well no,

but of course it counts! It's not a big deal, Siri, don't worry.

We put everything back in the box.

So wait,

there are two people left for this third round,

which means that the first one who buzzes has won,

obviously, on the reserve that the scheme is good.

Yes, on the reserve.

Apparently,

they all want this little guy to win,

huh, Caroline?

They want me to go talk to them.

Yeah, yeah.

Careful! And then, between us, then we can arrange.

Because it's between the two of us,

there's a person who doesn't risk falling asleep there in bed.

That's true.

It's Caroline.

That's true.

So, it's ...

It's ready, are you ready?

10 seconds.

Yes, yes, yes.

Come on.

Let's go.

Yeah, the hardest.

If you did it from top to bottom.

Look from top to bottom.

4,

3, 2, 1.

It's over, come on.

The hardest.

I can't even see them.

Change the roof, it's not the right roof.

Can't we see it again?

For the moment, ITOP has taken shape.

The big roofs.

And then,

it's like that.

I'm the one who's the most ...

There's a brown, there's a brown.

We don't cheat.

And underneath,

young, young, young.

We don't blow behind.

It's not beautiful, but ...

I'm not crazy.

I didn't say anything.

It's not that.

No,

not the right to help.

Don't look at the water.

There, it looks like nothing,

we're in the right place.

But I feel like I don't have all the right people.

It's the public, help them.

Caroline,

we don't cheat.

I never cheat.

ITOP doesn't cheat, him.

No, never.

No, it's ...

No, no, no.

Caroline,

so ...

So, what's going on here?

If we both are wrong?

We'll check anyway.

We'll listen, I'll check.

So, I'm going to make a house,

you're going to make a pagoda.

Caroline rang,

so verdict.

Honestly,

well, apart from that he gives me a little kick in the ass.

I'm going to make half of the puzzle.

It's not the good one.

It's not the good one.

It's the good one.

But no, it's not the good one.

And ITOP either,

so there will be ...

So there will be a fourth month,

friends, to share with you.

It's hard.

But it wasn't bad,

anyway.

Are you ready?

Concentrate.

But I feel like I don't have all the pieces,

me.

Yes, yes, there are all the pieces.

ITOP, change the tray, if you want.

There you go.

There you go.

There are all the pieces,

now.

We do the same,

we do the same.

It's too bad.

There, ITOP, there won't be a single piece missing.

There you go.

So ...

Already, it's hard.

Careful.

Are you ready?

Yes.

10 seconds.

5,

4,

3, 2,

1.

Easy.

Good.

Wait.

He fucked me up.

The color!

Bravo!

Caroline,

I invite you to join your two friends in the lab.

I remind you that you will have the possibility to donate 3,500 euros to the association you are defending,

if you do not fall asleep by the end of the show.

So, Titoff, a question because you were a little bit in a mess and it was not second degree.

I must admit,

Michel, that what you were talking about earlier,

I really proved it.

I was in excitement and then I defend an association that really holds me in my heart.

And it's true that I could verify all your arguments about lack of sleep,

the nervousness.

So, it's all super well understood.

We defend all the associations.

What a dirty boy this one is.

Ding ding ding ding ding.

We will take the opportunity to take a look at the lab.

So, concretely, I remind you that in addition to being plunged into the dark,

Linda and Francis are also plunged into an atmosphere.

So Linda, she's sleeping right there.

She's in a fetus.

She's still holding her balloon.

So, in addition to being plunged into the dark,

the guests are also bathed in a musical atmosphere thanks to this helmet.

Michel,

can music in general have an impact on our sleep?

Yes, it kills me.

It kills me.

He talks.

He sings, he recites verses.

He's going to go all over the lab to recite verses and theaters.

To stay focused.

It's incredible.

So, my friends, you are only three.

I see you trying to push your limits.

You have used a lot of stratagems to fight against sleep during the night and during the day.

Everyone had his own little method to stay awake,

which did not escape the gaze of Dr.

Rémy Lombard, specialist in sleep disorders.

He was watching you.

It's 4 a.m.

in the lab.

Our candidates have understood that from now on,

they will have to do everything to stay awake at all costs.

OK, friends, we're going to sleep.

We must not sleep.

We want to hear you.

When I say we don't have, you say sleep.

We don't have.

Sleep.

We don't have.

Sleep.

I'm going to get the Magic Mic.

And it's off.

I know that karaoke,

at some point, it always brings back a little night.

And frankly, it makes its own little effect.

It was your short dream.

On the day you died,

you could have thought you had everything you wanted.

But sin,

sin, sin.

Sin, sin, But sin, sin.

You can step into the space,

we're going to spend our handması.

You'll have given up.

S Seit on weekdays.

It's your blood.

It's great!

After the festivities,

I'm going to change too,

I think.

Linda sets out on another strategy,

sport.

Our former Miss France

imposes an irreproachable hygiene

even during a white night.

Come on! Come on! Come on! I'm out of breath.

Sport is not my thing at all.

When she told me,

Linda, I'm going to do 45 minutes of cycling,

I'm going to run.

But I didn't do them in 57 years.

45 minutes of cycling! But you make me do 45 minutes of cycling,

I sleep for two years!

Come on! I think the refuge person for me is really Linda.

Every five minutes, she brings out a new thing.

So there, you have to do yoga,

you have to do cycling.

In any case, she is always there to boost you.

It's a shame they didn't put a ball.

For me, sport is something very

important because when I oxygenate my body,

I know that I oxygenate my head at the same time.

I have clearer ideas.

When we practice sports,

we secret hormones that are evasive.

We have dopamine,

which is on the reward circuit and which increases vigilance and decreases the perception of fatigue.

However, you have to be careful because if they practice too much,

they will get tired and vice versa,

it will be counterproductive.

Unlike the others, Francis, he isolates himself from the group several times.

The words crossed, it's always, it concentrates me on something,

it makes me keep my mind awake.

Francis does not leave room for laziness and boredom,

which could favor his sleep.

It is also a good strategy,

instead of stimulating yourself physically,

it stimulates you intellectually.

But how long will our participants stay so wise?

You will see that some will quickly lose patience.

Yes.

Well, no.

Ohhhhhhhhhh!

So we have no right to do that!

Gwendal, Tito, Paloma, you are only three.

Look at Caroline Margeridon who just joined the Lab,

who will settle in her bed with her ball.

And who will try to stay awake until the end of the show since there is this gift to the association you represent.

Yes, you just have to stay awake until the end of the show.

So we will do the math.

You have been awake for almost 33 hours,

but do you know how long it is possible to stay awake?

Well, no.

Well, Michel here,

the great scientist,

has the answer.

I have the answers to everything.

I know, that's why I'm asking you the question.

Look at this man,

his name is Randy Gardner,

and he holds the world record for sleep deprivation.

This American,

who was 17 years old at the time, held,

listen carefully, 11 days and 24 minutes.

This happened in 1964,

under scientific control, of course.

And the study showed serious side effects of a lack of sleep.

We clearly saw irritability,

problems with concentration,

memory,

longer reaction times, paranoia and hallucinations.

On the eleventh day,

when he was asked to do a simple subtraction exercise,

he stopped and said he had forgotten what he had to do at the precise moment.

And that was the end of the experiment.

An experiment, obviously, that you should not do at home.

Besides, the Guinness World Record has stopped recording this record to prevent other participants from going beyond this time without sleep.

But yes, because it is obviously the goal of this great sleep experiment,

it is to show you how important it is to sleep well to live longer and in better health.

A question that comes up often,

about the nap.

Are you taking a nap?

Yes.

Paloma, are you taking a nap?

No, a little in the summer,

but I want to have a nap.

But yes, it's true.

But yes, it's true.

Before or after?

But before the nap.

Yes, before.

Before,

during, after, yes.

Sorry, excuse me.

While you sleep, it's not practical, it's not easy.

No, it's mostly forbidden.

Yes.

And it's punished by law.

Yes, that's it.

Michel, you do the next one.

So, the person must say,

for example, you can do this while I sleep,

it suits me, it suits me.

You can do it as usual.

You do it as usual,

wait, I'm going to sleep.

Michel,

what are the benefits of a nap?

How long does it take to take a nap?

At what time should he fall asleep?

At what time should he do it?

I think you have given us a new tutorial full of your best advice.

Absolutely.

You're a big coward.

Well, I'm going.

Go.

Nap.

Scientists will tell you, it's precious.

It doesn't work.

Having a method is important.

Try, for example, the magic square.

Mentally, imagine that you are walking on a square.

On each side, change your breathing.

After inhaling, you block, then you blow, and this several times.

A technique used in particular by the military.

But beware, you have to wake up on time so as not to plunge into a deep sleep.

A tip, plan an alarm on your phone.

But a nap, how long does it take?

Five minutes?

It's a micro nap.

The effects remain limited.

Ten minutes?

Scientists will tell you that it's perfect.

And 20 minutes,

it's just as good.

For your working afternoon,

you will have more vigilance, memory and concentration.

Note this last tip.

Nap is when you want,

but before 4 p.m.

So not after 4 p.m.,

you got it.

It's heard, so you shouldn't fall asleep after 4 p.m.

The question also arises about sport,

Michel.

What is the best way to practice sport?

At what time can we practice it?

And does the effort favor sleep and make you sleep better?

The ideal, if you can, is to practice your sport rather in the morning,

at noon, or even in the early afternoon.

The earlier you practice your sport,

the earlier you will fall into the arms of death.

Joënne Dane is at the end of her life.

It doesn't interest her at all what I'm saying.

It's not human what we did.

So, last tip.

The ideal is to practice your sport three hours before going to bed if you have to do it in the evening.

But if you really go home late from work,

you should practice your sport rather than not moving at all during the day.

Is it sport to have 50 children at home?

If you are alone, yes.

So it counts as sport?

Yes, it counts as physical activity.

I'm going to discuss with you one of the most visible symptoms of lack of sleep.

Do you have any idea?

The serums.

No.

It's not that.

If I tell you impatience,

aggravation, irritability, and sometimes funny things,

does it make sense to you?

Yes.

I'm going to talk about your degree of irritability through games that require a lot of precision.

And I won.

Two minutes later, we will see that you have gone through all the emotions.

After a festive night in the lab,

fatigue is again on all faces.

In time, another 10 hours to keep awake.

Linda, can you move a little, please?

Come on, let's go to the kitchen.

Come on, come on, come on.

We have the first service that has just arrived.

It's all the four of us.

In the end, the hardest thing is not the white night.

It's the white day.

In fact, it's all the after.

It's spending the whole day without recovering from the night and staying active.

It's very complicated.

Caroline, she is always full of inexhaustible energy.

So, wait.

It depends on the people.

Ah,

it's your card.

Let's take the opportunity to address her a new challenge.

Oh, Caroline,

you have three boxes.

So, finally, I have my envelope.

Because everyone receives mail except me.

I thought they had forgotten me.

Dear Caroline, you are going to lead a special workshop that requires having fairy fingers.

In these boxes, three meticulous games to test the irritability of our candidates.

They have to pass a thread through a needle.

Oh, no.

They have to take a board and,

above all, untie dozens of necklaces.

I'm telling you the truth.

Even if I slept for 12 hours,

I can't do it.

Yeah, yeah, it's hard.

But there...

I love it.

But it's to see if you're really upset.

Oh, bravo.

Me, I'm upset.

Me, I'm upset.

Why are you upset?

The more our candidates are in sleep deprivation,

the higher their cortisol levels will increase in the blood.

Cortisol, we will call it the stress hormone.

So, this stress hormone will influence their behavior by making them more anxious,

by managing stress less well.

On the other hand,

it will therefore reduce the reward circuit and slightly moisten their positive emotions.

The only one who retains his calm strength is Francis,

who is true to himself.

It starts...

It depends on the people.

Look at this, Francis.

Yeah, it's true.

Francis, but...

No, but Francis,

we're going to give our body to science.

Francis...

We're going to make money with Francis.

It's lunar.

Huh?

What was amazing is that Francis rested.

Francis has a calm strength, but

I suspect he's doing micro-sleeps.

I'm going to walk because I'm starting to have a nosebleed.

The more time passes,

the more our candidates' nerves are alive.

Linda becomes a little grumpy.

Can you show me your head?

Oh, my God.

Oh,

I'm so sorry.

It's great, it's great.

Friends, there's a little too much air conditioning.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, yes, yes, there's too much.

And in the lab,

the characters are affirming.

Oh!

It was six.

No, it was six.

It was six.

No, no, it was five.

And six.

No!

The simple fact of trying to understand a command becomes complicated.

It's just that it only works at certain times.

Reflex game, there, with the sound, a huge bug.

And above all, I see that everyone is a little more irritated and irritated.

So it really takes the head.

Or not.

Or not.

Oh! She's still playing.

She's still playing.

No, otherwise, there's always more than five.

It's not like a game,

but we...

Except if...

It's going to play.

The game is boring.

Otherwise, it's a boring game.

One and it's stuck.

There, there's a lot less patience,

actually.

So I'm much more silent on this test because I don't even dare to talk,

actually.

I'm like, oh, my God.

I remember.

It's a game, guys.

No, but there...

I wouldn't like to be attacked by you.

No, but wait, there are two.

You have to go get him.

Well, that's what we were saying earlier.

Yeah.

With Titov, it's his impatience that emerges.

Yes, but when we're fed up...

We're going to take them all.

Don't break their gear.

I thought I was annoyed.

But the rules weren't very, very clear.

So, well, I don't know where it comes from,

but when we were offered proof,

there were some little inconsistencies.

So we adapted.

Will our candidates succeed in bringing back their emotion?

They're getting ready, because another surprising challenge awaits them.

Surprise! Do you know this game of address?

Yes.

Oh, yes.

You have to walk the wire without touching it,

otherwise, of course, it rings.

If you touch it,

you start the course again from the beginning.

But be careful, that's not the most important thing.

Really?

The most important thing is to make your feet in the water.

No, you have to keep the silence.

The slightest noise of impatience,

that is to say,

a roar, a roar, anything.

Sorry, Marie.

I'm going to go join my friends in the library.

Good night, Titov.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

I'm going to try my luck.

The one who has offered the most swearing will be eliminated.

But be careful, in case of equality,

it's the slowest to finish the course who will join his friends in the lab.

So you have to go fast enough,

not make any noise and above all,

say nothing.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Yes.

Let's go.

From left to right.

Yes.

We start like that.

And we remind you that you have no right to swear,

but even to say ...

What is the meaning?

OK.

You don't speak.

It starts there.

It starts there.

We start on the left.

30 seconds.

30 seconds.

It's fucking hard.

You have to swear,

you have to swear.

You have to swear.

You have to swear.

You have to swear,

you have to swear.

It's fine, you have to go.

I'll put you next to Titov for swearing.

Yes.

Because there are some that I don't know.

Come on.

Three, two, one, go.

you have to start over from the beginning if you touch no noise

So strong!

Go Gwendolyn

So strong

Gwendal is...

he stopped breathing, Gwendal.

I think...

Ah! Almost arrived, people! Come on, touch it! Close it! Come on, come on, come on, come on...

Bravo!

Good job!

A little clap! I couldn't breathe!

That's incredible!

Speed,

speed and silence.

A result that leaves us still moved.

The one we started using in the lavatory,

I admit, I noticed that the more we bragged,

the more our energy was dispersed.

So, Titoff...

You know, Maryse, what I regret the most?

No.

It's not...

even if we lost,

it's not having jured all along, actually.

Go ahead.

I'll give you a version.

Yes.

Enjoy it.

No, no, I'll try, I'll try.

We'll have even more regrets.

Good night, kids!

Come on, Titoff, you'll be able to join the Labre de Silence.

Relax, meditate.

But obviously, no right to sleep!

No, no.

No right to sleep.

See you later, Titoff.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Titoff! Titoff! Titoff! Titoff! Titoff! Shhh! Shit!

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

So, friends, you're only two left.

You're the two finalists of Who's the best?

We're going to take a look at the lab.

Where are our friends Francis, Linda and Caroline?

They're very strong.

Before Titoff joins them, look at Francis.

Oh, my God, he's holding on! It's incredible,

isn't it?

Linda is holding on too.

He's extraordinary.

And Caroline, she's going to have her eyes wide open,

I'm sure.

Extraordinary.

She's in! She's doing sales.

I would never have held on to that much time.

I'll remind you of the rule of who's the best.

If the ball flies away,

the donation will stop at €2000 for the association chosen.

But if our friends stay awake until the end of the show,

they'll win a profit of €3,500.

Michel, we saw it.

Lack of sleep causes mood disorders.

You easily become irritable.

Why do we go through this phase?

Well, look,

what you see is what we call the little train of sleep,

which will split into three phases.

There's light sleep at the beginning.

Then we enter deep sleep.

This is the phase where the muscles recover.

And then there's the famous paradoxal sleep.

This is the phase where we dream and,

above all, we digest our emotions,

those that have been experienced during the day and that have just taken place.

If we haven't slept,

it impacts our emotional stability.

And more precisely,

we have a small area in the brain that interests us.

It's the amygdala.

It's not the amygdala at all that's in the bottom of the throat,

but it's in the temporal lobe.

It's the seat of our emotions.

And it controls our reactions when we're scared,

for example.

During the night, the amygdala has a very intense activity that allows it to digest all emotions.

And with a lack of sleep,

it is particularly sensitive.

That's why it triggers excessive reactions.

And that's why we simply have less patience.

Wendal, Paloma, do you have a little bit of a soft spot?

Yes.

I'm not going to lie to you.

Do you want us to bring you a little refreshment,

maybe?

Yes, gladly.

Like ice cream?

Yes, of course.

You see what I'm talking about.

I invite you to discover our volunteers from the lab in a new experiment called the brain freeze,

which occurs when we drink very,

very fresh, especially at the moment.

So it's a test without danger,

of course, but it will give them a good little headache.

Yes.

Sleep well, children.

Sleep well.

Sleep well.

In the lab, the adventure started 25 hours ago.

The impatience of the candidates is necessarily maximum,

just like their desire to find Morphée.

But do you think we can't see you?

No, Wendal, sleeping is not for now.

I'm not sleeping.

Who said I was sleeping?

Is there anyone who sees me sleeping here?

And besides, it leads to a new surprising experience.

Finally,

I have friends.

Dear Wendal, in perfect master of the house,

you will be able to offer your friends a refreshment.

Gather around the table.

You will taste an ice cream,

but as it is an experiment,

you will only have two minutes to sift it completely.

At the straw?

Temperature of the ice cream, minus 15 degrees.

Wow, it's cold.

I have migraine.

Suddenly.

Really?

Like when you eat a very cold ice cream.

Really?

Me too.

When our candidates ingest an ice drink,

the throat sensors will feel the cold and order the arteries that pass next to it to tighten up.

This rapid vasodilatation constriction alternation will be interpreted by the brain as a pain.

Oh,

damn.

Wow, that's too bad for my head.

Yeah.

There are periods when we will be less sensitive at the end of the afternoon and periods when we will be very sensitive to pain,

especially between 3 and 5 in the morning.

Basically, the perception of pain is managed for 20% by lack of sleep,

for 80% by our biological clock.

Remember that with fatigue,

simple pains of our daily life,

such as knocking on a piece of furniture,

for example, will be amplified.

Wendal, that was hard.

But in fact, yes, I wasn't expecting it.

What did it do to you?

In fact, it got me up,

it got me up in my head directly.

Directly, yes.

But directly.

Small headache, but even, we felt like a peak.

But I wouldn't know what.

But really, on the other hand,

no more fatigue.

We were at a stage of the adventure where really,

some of us were in trouble.

Me, I was in a tunnel,

it was very difficult.

For me, it was the equivalent of an after.

Ah.

So for me, we arrived in the

tunnel, it was very hard. And there, frankly, after the granite, it's true that suddenly...

Ah yes, so it lasted a long time.

Ah, but it didn't last long.

For me, it was a peak of glycemic effect of 5 minutes and then it went down again.

Exactly.

It stimulated nerves, it gave you pain,

and that's what woke you up.

Yes, because we also call that the ice cream migraine.

So look what's in front of us.

Michel.

Yes.

What's new, this food presentation?

What have you prepared for us?

Well, we will continue to give you tips to sleep well and guess what?

We can have better nights by changing our

diet.

Look, it's a table with a whole bunch of food.

Which do you think are good for sleep?

Chicken, I think it's good.

Chicken, yes.

Lentils.

Bananas.

Peanuts, maybe not.

I would remove the eggs,

the chickpeas, the pizza and the burger.

That, no.

That, no.

After that and that, it remains protein,

no.

So you are partly right.

First of all, no for pizza.

Obviously.

We agree.

But yes, for meat, fish, legumes,

the chickpeas we have here,

the kiwi and the eggs.

Their common point is that they all have something called an amine acid called tryptophan,

which allows the production of serotonin in the brain.

And it is this serotonin that will turn into melatonin.

You know, it's the famous sleep hormone.

The ideal is to have your dinner three hours before going to bed.

Three hours before going to bed.

And in addition, it is well known that when you lack sleep,

obviously, you eat more,

you nibble more, you turn more voluntarily towards food that is comforting,

that is supposed to boost us.

And you are often too rich and too sweet,

aren't you, friends?

Yes.

It seems that you have not stopped eating in the lab.

I'm going to make you laugh.

At one point, we thought it was a hidden camera and that in fact it was a nutrition show.

And you ate very sweet.

Very sweet.

A lot of sugar.

What is he doing?

It's Titoff who will wake everyone up in the lab.

We will see if Titoff is as voluntary and resistant as Francis.

You have to put him in the Louvre Museum,

he is ...

Comfortable, it goes.

Anyway, in the lab, you were still between the sweet and salty and healthy foods,

we don't know too much.

Look.

In the lab, the experiment is almost over.

And more than ever,

our participants are looking for comfort in food.

I'm fed up with eating,

what are you doing?

But yes, you eat.

Yes, but when I'm eating in front of me,

I eat.

And here it is.

It's a temptation that I give up with great pleasure.

You're still eating?

You're still eating.

It's a technique, it's a technique.

I don't want to disappoint anyone,

but Titoff has already removed a lot of sugar, chips,

soda.

Here, we'll see the autopsy.

Stop it, I took away your chips and you're eating a crocodile.

You have to defend yourself to hold on.

Where is your apple?

I didn't even finish it.

When we are in sleep deprivation,

our body is more prone to consuming more sweet products with fast energy.

We see them, they are more often on chamallows and croissants than on apples and bananas.

We only eat.

But I ate like I never ate in my life,

I think.

Even at Christmas, I don't eat that much.

But I tell you, they were wrong.

They made us believe that it was sleep, it's food,

the show.

It's not possible.

They only make us eat.

I think so.

The great experience.

We agree.

We are not close to eating.

In any case, we didn't have intermittent fasting.

So, not at all.

Oh,

holy cow.

I think there are two experiences in the world,

in fact.

There is the experience of sleep and the experience of how to gain 3 kilos in 30 hours.

Because here, it's crazy.

A Canadian study showed that out of 300 people who followed for 6 years,

people in sleep deprivation had 3 times more risk of obesity than others.

And that's out of the question for Linda.

Our perfect Miss is determined to preserve her life hygiene to the end.

You miss it so much.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, what are you doing?

You're doing energy.

Oh yes, energy.

Yes, it's the moment.

I want to see all the preparation,

I want to learn everything.

We're going to make yellow fruit,

mango pineapple and red fruit.

The idea is not to eat something that is too sweet,

which will create these peaks of glycemic,

but to have something that is a little bit,

that has a soft side, a little comforting,

a little sweet, but that is despite all that.

It smells like healthy food.

So in there, it's made to keep a little energy.

But it will have to be a little harder.

Later, we will put them in the fridge.

So?

It's

delicious.

OK, thank you, my dear.

You have to know that Linda is

very good at nutrition.

She made us the balls.

Madness.

I know the balls,

but the balls of sherbet,

you see.

There, the balls are too good.

It's good, huh?

It's good, huh?

It's going to keep us energized.

Until the end of the night, I tell you.

We know well how to eat healthy,

but I don't think it will have a great impact on her ability to fight against sleep apnea.

However,

eating healthy allows her to have a good sleep when she has to recover.

And recovering is precisely what our candidates dream of.

It's very, very hot there.

We have sweats.

We fight.

And in fact, we realize that when we fight,

every second is a torture.

So every minute is

difficult.

It's been almost 30 hours that they haven't closed their eyes.

In a certain euphoria,

everyone is camouflaging their fatigue as much as they can.

It seems unreal to me that we have spent so many hours.

And at the same time,

I have the feeling that we have been here for a week.

I was in good shape.

And then, well, now, it's...

I would like it to end, you know.

The good news, Francis, is that the final countdown is near.

Our volunteers will be released in...

5, 4,

3,

2,

1.

Liberation, pride,

after 30 hours without sleep,

everyone also remembers that this great experience is above all that of solidarity.

Our two finalists will now take on a duel of agility.

At the key, a place for the final tests that will allow one of you to reach the amount of 4,000 euros for the association of your choice.

This test requires a small installation and accessories.

Are you sleepy?

Well, no, but you will have to do as such.

I will explain to you.

Get in place.

You will start from this starting line here.

You're counting...

OK.

The starting line in front of you.

You will hold in one hand this sleeve with a tray on which are two balls.

You have to hold the tray at the level of the mark.

Be careful if you drop a ball, you stop.

The one who has traveled the least way before the starting line will be eliminated.

Did you understand?

Guys, we have never been so close.

Come on, let's go.

That's it?

Come on, Paloma, you have to hurry up because you have to get in front of him.

Come on, Paloma.

Oh,

yes.

You won, little heart.

No, I won't.

Honestly.

Well done.

Well done, Paloma.

Well done, Paloma.

We have the finalist for the last round.

It is Gwendal.

You can applaud him.

We studied at the school.

Yes.

A queen.

Well done, Paloma.

A queen.

Our queen.

Gwendal, the outsider.

The outsider.

That's really my name.

So, Paloma, who arrives in the lab.

A queen.

A queen.

Even when she goes to bed with class.

With class.

Gwendal, did you know that you were resistant to sleep at that point?

Yes and no.

Because actually, I'm not.

I really, really, really struggled.

I thought I was more resistant than that because when I have insomnia,

it's often related to periods of creation or because I'm really hyper stimulated.

So, inevitably, I don't feel sleep.

Sometimes I don't even feel hungry.

I can forget to eat and everything.

But then I saw that from the moment your body sends you the signals to tell you, man, it's now,

you have to listen to me.

When you go against,

you start a fight that

is best not to be fought.

Come on, it's time to find the tutorials of Michel's sleep and these two guinea pigs.

Vanessa assisted by Clément.

What are you going to tell us about? What are you going to tell us about this time,

Michel?

Well, a plague of your nights.

For some, it only happens to them once or twice in their lives.

For others, it's common money.

They are almost 20%.

I named it insomnia.

Thirty and one minutes.

That's the average duration of night sleep in French people.

What to find the time a little more.

It's good.

The ideal is to get out of your bed.

At least, you avoid sleeping.

To get out of your bed and to think about the fact that you don't sleep.

An infernal loop.

The fundamental mistake,

take his phone.

It excites you and its brightness wakes up your brain.

An idea comes to you?

Note it down in a notebook near your bed.

To take care of you,

prefer a calm activity.

Read a book or do coloring.

Yes, even adults can get into it.

You will concentrate,

find fatigue.

It's just a tiny light.

Once upon a time,

the legend told us to count sheep in our heads.

Scientists are formal.

It doesn't work.

Think of a soothing image,

like a beach of sand,

would be twice as effective to fall asleep.

And have you thought about dynamic relaxation?

Your muscles relax,

your breathing is mastered.

This will, at a glance, lower your heart rate.

Always on the who lives,

this little mammal is a great shy.

But the ideal, it remains to listen to a podcast,

for example.

You will very likely fall into the arms of Morphée.

...

who seems to play all the time.

Did you guess what awaits you, Gwendal?

So, I think I guessed.

Yes, you have reached the final and therefore the ultimate challenge.

It is a obstacle course to be carried out in this driving simulator.

Do you have the driver's license at least?

An obstacle course?

Yes, you will see.

So, I have my scooter license.

It doesn't count,

it doesn't count.

It is no longer necessary to have a car,

really.

Yes, it's true.

Because we don't drive a lot.

So, you don't have your car license?

No.

Ah yes, so it will be maybe a little more difficult.

Will the lack of sleep of our finalist alter his decision making in the course that awaits him,

Michel?

Yes, absolutely.

Fatigue slows down the reaction time in the same way as alcohol.

Just as it reduces the visual field,

reflects the effects and the attention necessary and gathered in this final challenge,

which is very symbolic.

So, the sleepiness on the wheel is unfortunately the second cause of mortality on the highway.

In 2021, for example, we have listed 131 fatal accidents due to fatigue.

A night too short of only 4 hours will motivate by 6 the number of accidents.

It is the moment,

Gwendal, to test your reflexes.

I think that's all that's left.

Come on, let's go!

Listen to me carefully.

Yes, Marie.

You will travel a distance of 2.5 km to 80 kmh,

along different signs,

such as braking dry,

honking or making a headlight call.

The signal to brake is a hand,

for example.

When you leave, you must again maintain the speed at 80 kmh.

The signals appear on the screen in front of you,

but also on the sides.

It's up to you to apply them to make a path without fault.

A quality steward.

And when you're ready,

you press on ON.

Are you ready, Gwendal?

I'm ready!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Don't forget to look on the sides too.

You're a little too fast,

aren't you?

Ah, sorry.

You're at 110 kmh.

Oh, that's okay.

No, we're at 140 kmh.

Not bad, he has good reflexes.

Oula!

Sorry!

Let's start again.

Where are you going?

Strasbourg or Geneva?

Apparently, eating sausages.

Wow,

what is that?

He has good reflexes.

I don't think he's a finalist.

And you don't have your license?

No.

But there's too much traffic in Paris.

We're going to leave you here,

because when you arrive in Strasbourg,

you have to park.

Okay.

Because we have two hours.

You have to do the same again.

Bravo!

So, what do you think?

So, the ideal reaction time was normally less than one second.

But still, the average reaction time when things appeared on the right was 1.08,

on the left 1.09.

Frankly, it's not bad.

And on the other hand,

you missed no action.

That is to say that all the logos that have been displayed,

you have seen them,

including on the sides.

However, we know that lack of sleep reduces the visual field,

so theoretically, we see a little less of what is happening on the sides.

It's a phenomenon, right?

We are very focused too.

Yes, but even.

Thank you, David!

So, Michel, there is a question that we all ask ourselves.

It's Gwendal, how old are you?

28 years old.

You are 28 years old,

so you are the youngest to participate.

Yes.

Is Gwendal a finalist?

Did Gwendal win because he is the youngest?

So, it is certain that when you are young,

it is an important factor,

because you are more resistant,

because you recover much faster.

And so, the fact that he is young has probably helped this recovery.

Gwendal, what is your best memory of this entire day,

of these almost 33 hours spent in the lab?

So, the group.

Honestly, I am very happy to have met these people.

The fact that you also allowed us to play for an association,

because it's not like that every day.

So, thank you very much.

And also, incredible laughs.

I mean, I went into absolute laughter and we helped each other a lot.

Well, frankly, we can applaud Gwendal.

He deserves it.

Gwendal, you have come to the end of this experience.

You come after this last challenge to win 500 additional euros for our association,

which makes a total of 4000 euros that you will be able to give back to the AID association.

The AID association.

Bravo, bravo.

He will have spent a total of 36 hours awake in the context of this great experience of unprecedented sleep and who,

I hope, will have convinced you all of the importance of sleeping well and improving the quality of your essential sleep to stay in good health.

It is time to meet our volunteers in the lab.

Are they already asleep?

Are they awake or not?

I think so.

I think there is no one who is asleep.

They are strong.

I would not have had five minutes.

They are awake.

Bravo.

No one is asleep.

It's quite incredible.

You have resisted the call of sleep.

The great experience is over.

You will have to get up.

I know it's going to be a bit hard for you,

especially for Francis, who has been lying down for about four hours.

Francis, come on, Francis.

I don't know how to sleep.

I invite you to join me on the set.

We are waiting for you with Michel and Gwendal,

the finalists of this great experience of sleep.

See you soon.

Someone has to unmold Francis.

Francis is absolutely...

It's hard.

No, I'm not letting go of the ball.

I'm not letting go of the ball.

No, I'm not letting go of the ball.

Francis has been lying down for so long.

It must have been horrible.

Come with your balls.

Come, of course.

Francis is too strong.

He is too cute.

Bravo!

Bravo to you! What a beautiful experience you shared!

The fatigue is on the side of the body,

but frankly you held on very well.

I am very impressed Francis, frankly it's incredible.

So let's take into account that since your entry into the lab yesterday,

you arrived yesterday, until now it will have been almost 36 hours.

So Michel, a question is now being asked for our friends.

So following this experience,

how do you recover?

So there are two ways to compensate.

Either you will do it cash or you will do it on credit.

Pay cash, you get up tomorrow at the same time as usual.

Let's say it's 8 a.m.

You may be very tired all day,

but the advantage is that you will find your usual rhythm very quickly.

On credit, if you want it to last a little longer,

you will extend your night by a fat morning tomorrow morning.

So obviously it's very pleasant,

but the internal clock that regulates your sleep

may be totally out of order.

It will take time to find a certain regularity.

As with jet lag,

it will take several days,

sometimes a full week,

to find the usual rhythm.

So if I were you,

I would opt for the cash option for the first time and you will be in shape much faster.

Bravo to all of you,

frankly, bravo! This unprecedented experience that you have accepted to take up,

it is also for the associations that you support.

So the associations, I will quote them anyway because it is important.

That of our winner,

so Wendal who participates for AID.

That of Titoff, KCN, Q2 France Development.

That of Caroline Margeridon,

it is united against maternal abuse.

That of Francis Perrin,

the star carrier of Itinova.

Linda Hardy played

for Pas de Secret and Hugo Bardin,

so Di Paloma, played for Le Refuge.

Bravo, bravo to all of you!

Marie, I would still like to ask Francis,

how did you manage to hold on?

Because we saw you talking to yourself,

what were you doing?

I was reciting texts.

He was reading Ruy Blas while we were in the lab.

All the time.

In Alexandra.

Yes, yes.

At any point, because we saw you close your eyes?

When I closed my eyes,

it was the imaginary sick man,

finally.

We were scared at the beginning.

Yes, we almost came to take your

book.
