in mid 2008, it was revealed that the us department of defenses research center had asked a group of researchers to conduct a strange experiment. the strange experiment

was not about the range of ballist cruise missiles or the astonishing speed of the new series of phantom jets. it wasn't pursuing ronald reagan star wars project in the 80s and it wasn't about the mysterious harp project creating devastating earthquakes in the enemies lands either. a year's long effort. in the us army to create supermen and super women who could automatically reconstruct their body parts hadn't achieved any success and now the us department of defenses research center had put something ordinary on the agenda. the research was about sleep, about setting sleep time and gaining control over it. what the pentagon wanted to find out: was how it could

manipulate soldiers sleep so they wouldn't get tired so soon, they would sleep less and of course fight more. in the 18th century, europeans had already got a penchant for both coffee and colonizing other countries. they took the seeds of the bitter evil fluid with them to other lands. the tropical countries near the equator had fertile plots of land as well as people who could work as slaves on those lands. the lands were supposed to supply the fuel europeans, or in other words, european factories needed. gradually, trading coffee and slaves became interwoven. the slaves were taken from less fertile countries to tropical countries. the high quality that coffee cultivated by them would directly go to. modern european coffee houses, coffee,

of slaves and money were the three sides of a triangle. the money side of the triangle would only benefit the colonizing countries that would somehow colonized the minds and bodies of their own countrymen as well, trading two black items perched to top the list of lucrative businesses. it might be hard to believe, but today trading coffee is the second most money-making business after oil. the scandal show that although the quality of producing coffee had improved a little, its dark and bleak history was as bitter as it was during the 18th and 19th centuries. coffee might be more delicious

than before, it's presented to the customers in better and more colorful packaging, the companies that produce coffee could compete with each other to supply coffee, but the common history of the coffee industry and the laborers on coffee farms doesn't taste any better and doesn't look any better compared to the era of slavery. the history is still as dark as a thick cup of coffee produced by a black slave. this scandal and similar scandals that have been revealed in recent years showed. something else as well, despite the bitter and shocking news, the number of customers in coffee shops hasn't decreased, in fact, coffee in today's world is more

vital than we think, the rate of consumption isn't going to fade anytime soon, today coffee is inseparable part of the personal and professional life of workers and employees worldwide. without coffee, you can't start a day or end it. but the thing is, only 6 hours after you drink a cup of coffee, its effects on your brain will be reduced to half. to improve your body's function, you need to drink another cup of coffee to supply your brain cells with. caffeine: in fact, the war between caffeine and the hours of the day is over one thing, sleep. it's obvious that if someone can sleep less, they can work more, and if they work more, the employer will make more money.

coffee is the weapon the capitalist system equips its employees with to send them the front line in a battle with sleep every day. it's a daily war whose winner is clear from the night before, owners of capital in the past centuries consider sleep as their most important enemy. they also have other weapons besides coffee in their arsenal to fight with. on december 31st, 1879, thomas edison was standing outside his lab in menlow park, new jersey. he was staring at the glamor in the eyes of the journalists in pitch dark at that night. after a while he raised his head

and took a look around and extended his arms towards a lever. after he pushed the lever, hundreds of lights around lab and the dirt road leading to the lab turned on. all of sudden. the night in menlow park turned into day. what difference does it make who had stole the idea of making the lights from? the thing is, the attractive show won hearts of the capitalists and got edison closer to his dream of establishing a large light bulb making factory in new york and selling his lights. that night, not many people thought that light could make a tangible effect. on the sleep of people in the world. after few decades though, as using electricity became commonplace, the concept of night that used to be the best and most appropriate time for sleep was dented. besides the farms near the

equator, the light emating from edison's pioneering spectacle was the other side of the capitalist double wamy, it cast a shadow on workers and employees. haven't been in the hospital, i understand what that's like, it's just like been. researchers at oxford university have recently found that people on earth have been sleeping an hour or average at least during the past half century. it means coffee and lights have accomplished permission. as production of toothpaste released. to the mouth and complementary pills and drinks that are supposed to help facilitate the entry of caffeine into the body more objectively at a surge in recent years. the interesting point is as people

sleep has been exposed to greater risks in recent decades, they've come up with new solutions to tackle them. some people call the solutions the sleep industry. they include a large. of products, the products which are at times costly are supposed to give people who are addicted to coffee a better. sleep in return for the money they earn. the sleep industry, like the coffee industry, has a whapping financial turnover, about $76 billion dollars annually, the duality in the capitalist system, namely inclination to create sleeplessness, and at the same time helping to tackle them doesn't look strange. who knows, maybe the stockholders of companies that produce smart pillows and mattresses for tighter sleep, are the... very owners of the farms that produce coffee and factories that make light bulbs.

sleep, we all do it, but why? sleep remains one of those remarkable puzzles. we've known the functions of eating, drinking and reproducing for thousands of years. however, sleep remains a mystery. why do some people ruminate all night, and other people, they see the pillow, they're gone. the pattern of sleep among animals, like the birds that can remain awake for seven days, or a bird like common swift that sleeps only with one side of its brain, and of course the sleeping habits of dolphins, elephants, toads and giraffes have attracted the attention of researchers, military institutions and capitalists. they try to study and mimic the lives of animals and manipulate. human beings sleep, the efforts are not related only to the recent studies by the pentagon, they date

back to the post world war 2 years. there's an unverified report from the late 1940s that says a soviet scientist conducted some secret experiments on human sleep. they wanted to understand the effects of sleeplessness and find a definitive way to stop sleep. they promise five political prisoners freedom and lock them up in a seal. room that was filled with a chemical that stimulates sleeplessness. after over a week, some things happened that led to the deaths of two of them. the others were afflicted was serious irreparable physical harm, and it caused the conflict between the researchers and the inmates. although the narrative was never officially confirmed, efforts by the u.s. in the following years confirmed that research

on sleep and depriving the soldiers of sleep to improve function were a reality. using the lsd psychedelic drug, a 12 billion pound investment to create biological soldiers and widespread prescription of stimulant drugs and the magnetic stimulated. the skull are just few of their numerous efforts to materialize the dream of creating super soldiers who do not sleep. meanwhile, the media have been largely advertising coffee in recent years along with phenomena like artificial light in order to prove that sleeping less necessarily means more success. this is a frequently quoted myth in success conferences about. people, to make more

money, you have to sleep less. the fact that successful people sleep less is a claim that only capitalists like edison favor. edison's business took off the ground after electricity was invented. he'd always say that people should sleep less about the hours a day and not more. he used to say, fact that sleep is the inheritance of human beings. from cave dwellers, it was obvious why he was saying that, the less people slept, the more use his light bulbs. now, nearly a century after edison's death, some people still favor his words. reed hastings, the ceo of netflix, has recently said an interview, our main rival isn't other online streaming companies, but the number of hours that subscribers sleep. whether we believe, like edison, hastings and their capitalist buddies, that

sleep is heritage from cave dwellers or oppose them, the fact cannot be refuted that coffee, or in fact caffeine has today turned into an essential need of human beings. according to a survey by food and chemical toxicology journal, 85% of the us population drink at least one caffenated beverage every day, and even if we don't. during coffee, we shouldn't feel complacent. the bad news is, caffeine isn't found only in coffee, you can find caffeine everywhere, chewing gums, flavors, toothpaste. tablets or even energized sunflower seeds, and of course, more importantly, in drinks like coca-cola, whose secret and magical caffeinated formula gradually causes addiction. is caffeine addiction really a mental illness? well, really technically it is. i'll explain, the dsm4 lists all mental diagnoses, all psychiatric diagnoses, things ranging from schizophrenia to depression to anxiety.

included in that has always been substance-related issues, whether it's alcoholism. or cocaine or heroin abuse or withdraw, caffeine is a drug, and when you have symptoms of withdraw, it is also included in the classification. since caffeine changes the metabolism pattern in our brain, if we want to stop drinking coffee or other caffinated drinks, our body will start showing negative reactions, headaches, stomach, double vision, depression and similar complications. if you are really addicted to caffeine and then you suddenly stop, you have to to fall into this dsm category, you have to have three out of five uh different symptoms, they include things like depression, headache, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and even flu like like symptoms, muscle aikes and pains. the

process of caffeine withdrawal is exactly like the process of stopping to take any kind of drug. a researcher studied the effects of caffeine on his own body, at the end of his research, concluded the caffeine is soft drug, soft universal drug. um, i actually at one point was up to a pot of coffee a day in medical school, really, i had just built up the huge tolerance. i went cold turkey, and this is why i believe in this diagnosis, i was definitely physically and even mentally ill, i felt horrible for a week, well you obviously did well in the exams though, because you are that's all that matters. you got to keep my priorities together here, in the final days of 1963, two american teenagers decided to work a project about sleep for their school, they chose the long nighs of winter during the new year to break the record of going without sleep and study

its effects on themselves. their study turned the media's heads. few months after the assassination of john f kennedy, which had become a front-page story for all newspapers, the 17-year-old randy gardner sleep deprivation experiment had made headlines in america. soon a physician affiliated with the pentagon went to him and monitored his activities. he and one of his friends spoke to randy after 11 days and 25 minutes of remaining awake and setting there. he was transferred to facilitated us naval hospital a special ambulance so they could monitor him and his brain waves. the initial results indicated that after several nights randy's sleep gone back to normal and surprisingly he got up and went to school. but later on the

project had some other results that were paid less attention. randy's brain was taking a napping all that time and his activities were done habitually and subconsciously, but after few years it was revealed that randy gardner was suffering from insomnia, apparently there is no way to beat sleep without damaging the brain. what was inside the cups on the desks the us defense department researchers finally helped them answer the question: how can we keep the soldiers awake? like the history of coffee, the answer would help the researchers use other people. the revelation of the results and goals of the research by the pentagon, in fact confirmed jonathan crary's

claim in his book, that sleep is natural barrier for abusing human beings, a strong long barrier against the capitalist nocturnal colonization, the colonization fervently pursued by the pentagon, starbucks, nesley, netflix, and even factories that produce mattresses and light bulbs.
