Sleep is essential for brain functionality and overall health but understanding how sleep delivers its beneficial effects remains largely unknown. Sleep researchers are exploring new and unbiased approaches that can take sleep to a systems level. In one such approach, referred to as 'systems genetics', inferences about biological phenomena can be made by linking together several levels of information from DNA to phenotype via gene expression, proteins and metabolism at the level of a population. Systems genetics offers a global and interconnected view of biological phenomena and is therefore considered critical towards predicting disease susceptibility.

I once pulled of an improbable speed run in Quake, having binged the game for days on end before finally going to sleep. The dream's visuals were perfectly matching their IRL template of the epoch, sparsely textured polygon graphics rendered on a CRT in 800x600. In my dream, there was no doubt in my mind that this is how the real world was supposed to look.
I never got into speed runs IRL, not my cup of tea.
